Number Seriously, what game doesn't have numbers in it? I thought maybe I didn't understand the purpose of the page, so I checked the attached images and sure enough the page covers all forms of numbers, not just some specific uses of numbers.
Current Position It shows your current position. Just like most maps in video games. Is there a specific name for the mini-map that appears in racing games? Because it might make for a more appropriate page name if there is one.
Billboard Nothing wrong with having a page for these, but it should be an object instead of a concept. I mainly included it because I felt like I should have three items on my list instead of just two. :D
Yeah I've also got some concepts which I think don't deserve pages:
Games People Have Died While Playing - Seriously why do we need a page for this. These have nothing to do with the actual game themselves but a few specific people who happened to be playing them.
With the Billboard page (though I wish there could be more stuff you could talk about in the page) and the Holy Sh*t I'm on Fire page (Agreed that the name should change) excluded, I hope all of those "concepts" get deleted. They're pretty useless, and just abuses the hell out of both the encyclopedia and points system.

I don't try to abuse the point system, neither the wiki. It's just that I sometimes feel I've come up with a neat concept but then the whole dang thing gets lost in translation, so to speak.
Other than the "Species & races = Concepts" I don't think I've seen other directions as to what goes where. A couple of guidelines would greatly benefit Giantbomb, I think.
