Talk:RoboRally

Correct spelling of game's name

"RoboRally" is the correct spelling of the game's name, according to Wizards of the Coast (scroll about halfway down the page). Currently RoboRally redirects to Robo Rally; these should be reversed. I just don't know how to do it. --Dmleach

Normally, you'd use the "Move this page" link. But since RoboRally is occupied, you'll have to get an administrator to do it. I think you do that at Wikipedia:Requested moves.

Please sign your posts. You can do this with either 3 or 4 tildes (~~~ or ~~~~). The latter is preferred since it also adds a timestamp. I added yours about, but please remember to do it in the future. Peace. :-) — Frecklefoot | Talk 15:52, May 18, 2005 (UTC)

Done. --BradBeattie 14:58, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

BoardGameGeek

Trysha's edit on 13 December 2005 deleted an external link to the RoboRally page on the BoardGameGeek site. I'm curious: why was this done? It seems like a useful and worthwhile link to include in that section of the article. Pat Berry 23:28, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

It is because I went alphabetically through the board game articles and added a link to the Board Game Geek site. This was interpreted as spamming and my adding of these links were removed from most of the articles. Feel free to add the link back in. Val42 04:34, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

"Redundant" categories

The link to Category:Board games was deleted as "redundant". If a game is in the science fiction board games category, shouldn't it also be in the board games category, so that it shows up explicitly in both categories' listings? --JHunterJ 14:16, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

incorrect attribution?

in a picture's caption, it reads; "3D RoboRally Art by Corey Kruitbosch" Weren't the figures designed by Phil Foglio?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 143.109.136.134 (talk • contribs) 15:49, 16 April 2007 (UTC).

Yes (and the article says so), but that image is "RoboRally Fan Art created by Corey Kruitbosch 3D Artist". -- JHunterJ 17:16, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Editions & Boards Chart

I'm interested in adding a chart of information related to which boards are in which release to visually aid those who are interested in the differences. I have such a chart here, but I am unsure of the most appropriate way of including this information (formatting etc) in the article, or even if it is an appropriate addition, considering that all of the same information already exists in the article (just in a less visual format).

I'm assuming that a well formatted wiki table would be the way to go, but I have little experience in putting one together. If someone could at the very least confirm that this would be an appropriate addition, I'll gladly put forth the effort. I just don't think I should bother until I know it won't be reverted due to redundancy.

Alternatively, I could just include this as an external link, but I think that might not be an ideal solution as the permanence of my Google Pages space is not certain.

I know very little about the game, but I can make wikitables. If you didn't want to make the table, I'd be willing to. Like you stated above, I'd hold off for a bit though to see if there are any objections first.--Rockfang (talk) 21:30, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I would suggest a simplified table:

Excellent idea. Now, continuing with the novice editor questions: Where in the article would this most appropriately be placed? I'd assume in with the Editions and expansions (with board names) section, but I'm not sure how I should include it without replacing the additional information provided in the list format. If a more experienced editor wishes to move the above chart in a way he or she feels appropriate, please feel free to do so.--Ho0ber (talk) 19:57, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

carnage and mayhem

"...which add to the carnage and mayhem"

is that really necessary ? is there really carnage and mayhem in a ... board game ? :)
