To add aliases you post your request in this thread and a mod will add them for you.

In this case though that isn't necessary because I'll just go and add them right now.

Not sure if Jeff will agree with L&D having its own page, though...

Aliases cannot be added by users, only mods.

I think if it was going to have a page they would have done so already. BlackWaterCO must have missed the debate the other day.

I would of thought had the Staff wanted Lost & Damned to have its own page, or any other DLC to have it, then they would of made the page themselves. Especially when news articles have been written about such content.

But I may be wrong :)

Well, I don't remember any debate, so I must've missed it as well.

Obviously, The Lost & Dammed page can't be created at this point.
What about the Fallout 3 DLC?, The Star Wars: The Force Unleashed DLC? - All of them are written in the original articles.

The Shivering Isles (another LARGE dlc) had it's own page, so I decided that sinse this was the largest one sinse that, it'd be cool

I think the main difference is that Shivering Isles is also available in a retail box version. I wish I knew where that thread went...

There was a debate/discussion about it, maybe a week ago. The end result was the mods saying that there shouldn't be a page for it.

Let's not get off topic. Having read all of the arguments, I'm backing my fellow mods on this one. 

Anyways, as Axersia said, only staff and mods can add aliases, so use that thread to make requests.

You want him to make a request for an alias on a game page you requested to be deleted? Or are you just speaking for any requests in general?

Requests in general. Axersia already added the alias 12 hours ago.

Please don't create game pages for things that aren't games. We have a separate solution in the works that will place sub-sections on existing game pages. This will cover downloadable add-ons like Lost & Damned, map packs, songs for rhythm games, and, yes, horse armor.


This may or may not also cover PC expansions that require the original game to play. That's something we still need to discuss.
