Wikipedia article for Freddy Fazbear?

Should we make a wikipedia article for Freddy Fazbear? I mean he is the signature character of the series HiGuys69420 (talk) 15:18, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to make a draft at Draft:Freddy Fazbear. Make sure to include reliable sources and follow the VG Manual of Style. I suggest reading WP:GNG and using WP:VG/S to determine if a source is reliable or not. Pizzaplayer219TalkContribs 17:48, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Change the year since initial release of the first game to 9 years instead of 8. 47.145.57.43 (talk) 18:48, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The "years ago" in the infobox is updated automatically, but there is often a delay. I did WP:PURGE on the page and it is updated now. RudolfRed (talk) 19:25, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Creating a List of unofficial FNaF media

I think theirs fan games and animations worthy of a page like this similar to the sonic one and it be better to redirect thing like Five Nights at Candy's there Spongebobguy2 (talk) 14:47, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Nifty" is not exactly academic language

This is more of a minor peeve of mine, but the section of the Gameplay paragraph that describes the gameplay of Security Breach includes the phrase "a nifty tool called the Fazwatch". As far as I'm aware, Nifty does not fit into the academic tone that the articles on this site mostly try to achieve, as Nifty is a more colloquial word that is only really used in America and is seldom used in the rest of the english-speaking world. I was wondering if this can be fixed or if the editors think it doesn't matter all that much. 2A05:4F46:310:5C00:6925:8B6E:BD7D:9C0F (talk) 09:38, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the Human Characters section under William Afton and under Burntrap it states: "Burntrap is a heavily damaged and charred version of Spring Bonnie which contains Afton's undead body following his resurrection in Security Breach". This should be instead changed to: "Burntrap is a heavily damaged and charred version of Spring Bonnie which contains Afton's undead body following his resurrection in one of Security Breach's endings". This is due to the fact that in the later "Ruin DLC" expansion for the game Security Breach it is heavily implied that the "Burntrap Ending" from the base game is not canon to the games story via the comic strips made by the Security Breach character Gregory spread out across the "Ruin DLC" location. These comic strips contain all endings except for one which is the "Princess Quest" ending (which is not the "Burntrap" ending). Although not outright confirmed by the creator of the games, this change would make sure that no false information is told and the reader can choose whether or not being part of one of the various endings from the game means the Burntrap was canonically resurrected in the overall lore of the franchise.

 Note: This change may cause some readers to disagree and create an edit war between viewpoints. Until further clarification is given, this request is put on hold. Awhellnawr123214 (talk) 06:26, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Springlocks?

This article contains several references to "springlocks", which (presumably) are fictional devices specific to the game. I think it would be a good idea to include a brief description somewhere in the article to assist those of us who haven't played the game or are unfamiliar with the lore. Tevildo (talk) 00:26, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Currently in the info box there is no link to Scott Cawthon. An article already exists on Wikipedia for this person here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Cawthon EdisonTheFox (talk) 17:42, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of Short Story series?

The Books and Comics section only mentions the three novels (Silver Eyes, Twisted Ones, Fourth Closet) written by Scott Cawthon and Kira Breed Wrisley. I feel like the two series of Short Story collections, Fazbear Frights and Tales from the Pizzaplex, should also be mentioned. 2A05:4F46:310:5C00:1076:4D0F:8799:3374 (talk) 12:12, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Created by Di (they-them) (talk). Self-nominated at 15:14, 28 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/William Afton; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

  • I think my main concern with the first one is that, indeed, it's not a reliable source. I would recommend finding a reliable source that can be used for the DYK. The ALT's issue for me is twofold: one, CBR isn't a great source, and two, the ALT is a bit confusing. I don't really know what roastable means at first glance; I assume that it means he is easy to insult, but I feel like this detail tells us very little about the character. It may also not translate to someone who doesn't understand what roasting even means. I would recommend either finding a source that delves into the overall reception behind the character or an interesting tidbit about his creation. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 15:56, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Cukie Gherkin: Thanks for the feedback. How do these alts sound?

On the plot section, the lore is off. First, Fredbear's Family Diner was created by William Afton. A rivaling company, Chica's Party World, created by Henry Emily, eventually merged with Fredbear's. Following this, an accident happened with bullies, and Afton's son was killed in Fredbear's mouth. This is what set him off in the first place, then Henry's daughter became William's first victim.67.79.15.131 (talk) 14:20, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. The plot of this franchise is notoriously complicated and in unending dispute; we can't rely too much on editors' interpretations here. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 01:20, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This video game franchise 'creating' a new subgenre of horror

From past the year, they are people (including horror fan themselves) in online and myself are citing strongly that this video game franchise accidentally 'create' a new horror subgenre (even through in retrospect, there are possible evidence that this subgenre been exist, decades before FNaF (in 2014) and video games in general, after the 1970s) as 'Mascot Horror'? Just like how similarity, Analog Horror did in the same decade?

So, it is necessary to add a subsection like this subgenre in the 'Cultural Influence' section? Chad The Goatman (talk) 01:38, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
