I've found these:

Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".

More as I find it. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 01:36, 20 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

  • Hah, wow! Alright, I'll poke through these for now, as I'm satisfied with the sourcing for the GA-level, but I guess I pretty much have to take this to FAC once Homeworld is done. Thanks so much! --PresN 13:25, 20 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • No problem! When you said you might take this article to FA, I decided to dig around and see what sources were available. Fortunately (or unfortunately), games from this period tend to have a frightening amount of coverage, as I learned while helping Zeality with Anachronox. Hopefully it's not too overwhelming. Good luck with the article! JimmyBlackwing (talk) 18:26, 20 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
When do you think that you may nominate it for FA PresN? JimmyBlackwing good job on digging those up! --TheSandDoctor (talk) 02:47, 8 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Template:Re Probably not for a while; I haven't even started poring through these links, to be honest. My last FAC (Homeworld) just finished yesterday, though, and I don't have any other major writing projects spinning, so I'm planning on starting in on it this week, and depending on how it goes maybe nominate it in late May or June. Hopefully. --PresN 03:16, 8 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Template:Reply to Congratulations! One day I hope to have an article pass GA (more realistic possibility) and maybe one day FA. Let me know when you do nominate it, okay? Thanks. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 03:28, 8 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Thank you so much again for finding all these, JimmyBlackwing! I've finally gotten through them all (it was exhausting; Chris Taylor was a media hound but every outlet seems to only want to ask the same trivial questions as if Google wasn't a thing), and it's made the article so, so much better. It's now up for FAC, if you want to review it or just read it. --PresN 17:35, 24 May 2017 (UTC) Template:Re right, you asked me to ping you too, so done!Reply
No problem at all! Yeah, a lot of late-'90s/early-'00s game coverage seems to have the repetition problem—it's a struggle to trawl through it. I'm glad you were able to find valuable material in there. Unfortunately, these days, I don't have enough Wikipedia time to review articles, but I'll definitely give the Development section a read. Good luck at FAC! JimmyBlackwing (talk) 17:46, 24 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Template:Ping Thanks for pinging me as requested! Good luck in the FAC! Only admins can review FACs, right? --TheSandDoctor (talk) 17:58, 24 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Template:Re Anyone with an account can, though it's expected for reviews to be rather in-depth or else they're likely to be discounted by the FAC coordinators. --PresN 18:51, 24 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Publisher

Template:Ping Many games are having different publisher (e.g. those under THQ) For Dungeon Siege, at least a few stores list Square Enix as the current publisher (SteamhumblebundleneweggGMG. Matthew hk (talk) 16:53, 23 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi Matthew hk, yes that is true, Square Enix bought the franchise and are now publishing it. However, the infobox is used to display the original publisher of a work, which in this case is Microsoft (and Destineer for Mac). Square Enix's ownership would require a reliable, secondary source, and should be covered in the prose (e.g. under "Release") instead of being stuck into the infobox. Regards.

Category:Works set in castles reverted?

Latest comment: 20 January 20212 comments2 people in discussion

Castle Ehb's a pretty major part of the game, and is prominent in the plot description for the game. From this, I figured that the category for 'Works set in castles' was appropriate as the castle's very important in the plot of the game, and is a pretty big segment of the game gameplay-wise. Waxworker (talk) 14:27, 20 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

The description of the category: "Works set in castles, not just with a castle in them." Dungeon Siege is not set in a castle. These type of categories are arbitrary enough as-is, and the castle in the last section is not a defining part of the game. --PresN 14:50, 20 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Merge articles?

Latest comment: 13 January 20252 comments2 people in discussion

Hey guys, I'm new around here (at least when commenting, I've been using Wikipedia most my life) and just wanted to ask if it was possible to merge this article with these German and Polish translations (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_Siege / https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_Siege_(seria))? They seem to be disconnected for no reason. :) 84.132.243.172 (talk) 13:29, 13 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Different people write and maintain articles in different languages, these ones being no exceptions. From what I can gather, both dewiki and plwiki present series articles, whereas we (enwiki) have an article only on the first game. We have no series article, as (IIRC) we only begin to consider one with threee mainline entries or any other feat of notability. In my opinion, there is nothing to "merge". If by merge you mean having interwiki links, this is done at Wikidata, although in this case on purpose as the German and Polish articles talk about a different subject (the series) than this article (the game). There also is a Polish article about the game, which appears correctly linked. IceWelder [✉] 15:00, 13 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
