Weekly Wiki Update Sunday, March 22, 2015.

Hey would you look at that, I actually managed to do two of these in a row. This past week I managed to squeeze in a little more than I did last week, but I still would have liked to do some more.

The Pages

Started out small this week by simply adding an overview header, a little bit of text, and an image to the Arcade Archives franchise page.

Next up I added a few Zelda games to the Save File Copy page that @beachthunder created. I only added a few that I knew for sure contained that concept, but I know there are plenty more games.

After that I added some more information to the Pocket Mine 2 page, and I plan on doing more still.

Next up was a hidden object game that I have been playing on my phone called Agent Alice. It is not really a great game, but I have played it enough to fill in quite a bit of the information on the page. As part of the Agent Alice page I also created and worked on the page for Wooga, the company that made it.

The next page was yet another game I have been playing on my phone, this time it was Giant Boulder of Death. The page was already created, but was left sitting completely empty. I ended up filling in a bunch of the information and added an overview and gameplay section.

While I was still working on pages for games I have been playing on my phone I decided to see if Google Play Game Services had a page, and it did. I added a little bit of information to the page but added a bunch of games to it.

I then moved on to Crossy Road which was surprisingly empty. I added the overview and small gameplay section to it.

As I watched the Quick Look for 5 Star Wrestling I decided to write up the overview and a very basic gameplay section. It certainly needs more work though.

And last up was Minna de Spelunker Z. After watching @jeff play it on Unprofessional Fridays I decided to download it and give it a shot. I only ended up adding an overview and a couple of concepts to it, but it is a start.

Closing

And there you have it. It was certainly a more productive week for me, but I would really love to find more time to do more. I have been hearing about people having troubles with linking, but have not seemed to come across it myself.

Again, I would like to point everyone who edits the wiki or would like to edit the wiki to this forum post if you have any questions, concerns, or anything else pertaining to the wiki.

As always, what have you all been up to in the wiki?

SNES '94's doing fine. March has 49 releases, so I'm going to be here a while. I think I'll write something up after I'm done with this month, and go with a "quarterly report" sort of affair.

Regarding Arcade Archives and Minna de Spelunker Z, I'm glad someone's working on some of the weirder stuff that Jeff highlights. He had to put up the Butasan page himself because it didn't exist previously. If we had Wiki Bounties back, "games that have been recently shown or mentioned on Giant Bomb videos or the Bombcast" would be ideal for them. They're the only pages we can be sure people are looking for.

Legacy Company Page Corner: Still wondering if we ought to be combining Masaya and NCS Corporation. The former is the latter's video game division, so theoretically speaking everything video game related from NCS (which is a huge electronics corporation) should be Masaya. Still looking for back-up on that before I start working on it.

@mento: That certainly sounds like a case where companies should be merged into one page, but I am not very familiar with them other than seeing them on pages in this wiki.

There are so many obscure games in the wiki that are completely empty, so I will always try to add at the very least a quick overview just so that the page doesn't just sit empty. It is especially sad when it is a game that is featured in a video since that used to mean that people would fill in the page, but that doesn't seem to happen much anymore.
