Three-check chess

[edit]

Is any one interested to help me create an article for three-check? Geekpotato24 (talk) 15:34, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There was one a couple years ago. After discussion, it was redirected to the list of chess variants, where it's covered, due to lack of secondary source coverage. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:36, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
An article on Three-check chess existed until July 2018, when a deletion discussion decided it should be changed to a redirect. You can see the final version of the article before this redirection here. This redirection happened after a user who has served several blocks vehemently took against how the rules of the game were written and caused a lot of disruption - the article seemingly got redirected as a way to neuter the source of disruption. In my opinion (which has not changed since the discussion) this redirection was a very bad decision and I would support you in getting the article reinstated. I generally think we have far too many article on chess variants, but, because it is played extensively, I believe Three-check is one of the variants worthy of an article. --LukeSurl t c 16:44, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll work on finding sources first. Geekpotato24 (talk) 00:37, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

See also variants

[edit]

Thanks. My mistake for removing them -- I misread them as just linking to those games rather than their variants. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:07, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to plural

[edit]

We have list of chess variants and Category:Chess variants, and the concept is plural - this article doesn't describe "a" chess variant, but the concept of all variants. I propose renaming this (and Shogi variant) to plular (chess variants, shogi variants). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:21, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Piotrus, Maybe? For me it doesn't matter either way. I imagine there's probably a "proper" way of doing this hidden somewhere in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. --LukeSurl t c 16:43, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
