    El cid the hero (against in situations)
    Melodia Chaconne (against for being too broad)

    JQF (against, supports El cid the hero)
    JosephK19 (against leaving out minor games as it is for navigation)
    Ned Scott (usefulness of small navigational templates)
  8. Use nonbreaking spaces to make sure names don't split on linebreaks
  9. Separate names with bullets

General support

edit
  • Steel (no comment)
  • Combination (consistency, eliminates cruft)
  • Thunderbrand (likes)
  • TKD (remade the Halo template)
  • Hbdragon88 (simplified a few templates)

General disapproval

edit
  • JQF (small list, inconsistant with other projects, POV on inclusion, etc)
  • Ned Scott (small list, usefulness)
  • the bread (separators, canon/non-canon)
  • Jagged 85 (out of line with other projects)
  • El cid the hero (usefulness, future games)
  • Krisp E (unclear why templates need changing)


Unknown

edit
  • 81.154.105.3 (Incomprehensible disapproval?)
  • Frecklefoot (commented on 81.154.105.3)
  • TBC (no change till it's a guideline)
  • PresN (brought up Half-Life series)
  • JosephK19 (suggested new guidelines)


Notes

edit
  • JQF has a lot of points, and isn't against the idea of a standard.
  • Many people are against editing before a consensus is reached (such as TBC).
  • Combination's arguments are that if there's no discussion, there's a consensus for the change.
  • People don't want sides to form (Ned Scott).
  • None of the people involved are opposed to the V-D-E links.
  • Most of JQF and all of AMIB's comments were ommitted as it constitutes the majority of the content.
