Summary of Video games WikiProject open tasks:

Add sequel and succeeded

Can you you probably know from the title add sequel for example Wwe 2k14 Sequel Wwe 13 succeeded Wwe 2k15 The Awesome Guy in the world (talk) 21:32, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This has been discussed several times before, and while there are series where it is obvious, there are other series where this can be abused. The navbox at the bottom of the article is best suited for this. --Masem (t) 21:41, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Discontinued" date or similar for multiplayer/online games

Many online or multiplayer games depend on the developer continuing to host, patch or otherwise maintain it, so they'll come with a 'discontinued' date or something similar. A sentient pickle (talk) 11:05, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • This has also been discussed before, with consensus being against it due to the high probability that people will misuse it. Just think of some game that is still fully playable, but hasn't had a gameplay update in a few years, so people will consider it "finished" and add something like that to the infobox. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 16:12, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How about a "Based on" parameter?

What about an optional "Based on" parameter for video games that are based on other media such as Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro or E.T. the Extra Terrestrial? Americanfreedom (talk) 18:04, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
