Do You Think The Wikis Should Hav A Critical Reception Type Part?

Just a thought... we typically have all manner of features on there like gameplay, story, characters and some other sub-headers.  I just was browsing them and thought it may make a good edition.
 
What are your thoughts? Good? Bad? Too much like Wikipedia?

Where does it say that you can't have a critical reception?  
 
Anyways, I would put something like that when I edit wikis, but I just don't want to.

I don't think anyone is stopping you from adding something like that to any of the wiki pages.

I try to put them in whenever I edit. Though if the game got terrible, terrible reviews I don't.

This belongs in the editing & tools forum....but anyways yes I think it would be a nice addition.

I personally dont like the idea much. If you suggest the idea people would probably just copy and paste wikipedia for easy points

That was my main concern was that it could be a quick and dirty thing to get points. "

How about just posting the average score from metacritic? "

I think because the wiki's are supposed to be presenting information so that they can be unbiased so the user whos reading up on it can form their own opinion giantbomb should not be fox news!

Maybe the designers could incorporate that into the general information bar? Because having a sub-header simply to post a score would be strange...  Weird situation. It could either be a get-rich-quick scheme for points or it could be something meaningful. Though most people would probably use it for the former... "

How about underneath the wiki picture where it states what platforms its out on and date released just have the average score "

Has no one ever seen similar sections in video game articles on Wikipedia? It's possible to do write a critical reception section without inserting your own bias, and it's something I try to do wherever possible.

I don't see why not.
