Request a fix for RELEASE issues here! - Delete & Combine Requests

#1 Edited by Marino (3682 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

As many of you may know, neither users or mods currently have the ability to delete errant release data info. The general fix for this is to simply edit the release into one that isn't already listed. This doesn't always work since we may already have all of them listed. So, here's the plan for now. We're going to keep a list of releases that should be outright deleted, so that they can either be deleted by staff when they have time or by mods once the delete button gets fixed.

So, post your requests in this thread and we'll add the relevant ones to the table.

It's going to be a big list, but it's best to make a note of everything and then deal with it when we can. Good work man.

Phantasy Star II
The three Sept. 2, 2010 iPhone releases (UK, US, UK) without artwork should be deleted. Was cleaning up other records and lumped all the bad ones there.
I have a longer PM sent to ZombiePie with the full details. Glad to see a solution in the works!

Back when the mods decided to revise the rules and started removing collections, I added a ton of releases to various games (for the collections). Should these releases be deleted now?

@StarFoxA: In most cases, yeah.

#7 Posted by StarFoxA (4951 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

@Marino: In that case...

Pac-Man (also remove any Pac-Man Collection releases), Rally-X, New Rally-X, Galaga (get the "Arcade Classic" releases here too), Bosconian, Pole Position, Toy Pop, Galaxian, Centipede, Millipede, Mappy, Xevious, Galaga 3, Grobda, Dragon Buster, Super Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Ms. Pac-Man, Pole Position II, The Tower of Druaga, Phozon, Pac-Land, Assault, Ordyne, The Return of Ishtar, Genpai Touma Den, Pac-Mania, Dragon Spirit, Metro-Cross, Baraduke, Valkyrie no Densetsu, Dragon Saber, and Pac-Attack all have several releases for Namco Museum(s)

There are a lot more, that was just a quick look through Namco Museum Vol. 1 through 5.

DJ Hero 3D has a release listed, but it seems to have been cancelled along with the Guitar Hero franchise, and thus will never be released. Same goes for True Crime: Hong Kong, which was also cancelled and has three releases listed which now won't happen.

So should all compilations be deleted? What about the ones that don't have their own entry in the wiki, like some of the double packs or value packs?

No, compilations can have a page IF the games included on the compilation are on the same disc/cartridge/casette/whatever. If it's a compilation where there are multiple discs each containing a separate game, then it doesn't get a page.

The reason that we're deleting compilation releases is because, in many cases, those compilations have a page, so it's not necessary to have a release on each game involved.

Yea I was wondering if games like the combo packs on the Xbox 360 should be included as a release on say the Lego Batman page and the Pure page for example, not full pages.

As for Call of Duty: World at War, somebody added PS2 release of Final Fronts, so it needs to be removed too.
