Wikipedia article for Freddy Fazbear?[edit]

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]

"Nifty" is not exactly academic language[edit]

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]

Semi-protected edit request on 31 October 2023[edit]

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.

Springlocks?[edit]

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.

Add link to Scott Cawthon[edit]

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?[edit]

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?

67.79.15.131 (talk) 14:20, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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[edit]

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, before the 1970s fully) as 'Mascot Horror'? Just like how similarity (which has the same concept, turning the concept of nostalgia into horror), 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]

UCN page merged with FNAF franchise[edit]

I personally feel that UCN deserves to be a page because it is the seventh main game in the series. Every other main game has a page so why is this one downgraded? 2601:243:C901:4600:5A0:82E1:5446:5816 (talk) 02:06, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is this real?[edit]

I think someone slipped this into IMDb as a prank. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29885098/reference/ I tried Googling for other sources on it, and I got some Fandom.com pages about a 1987 Five Night's at Freddy's cartoon starring John Goodman, but that's got to be something in-universe. At any rate, even that didn't show anything from 1987 with the title "Revenge of the FNAF" as given on IMDb. Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 17:36, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah none of that is real, it's a bunch of internet shitposting. FnaF has only exited since 2014. λ NegativeMP1 17:47, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

William Afton is purple guy 78.152.252.31 (talk) 15:25, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. That is a fairly well-known fact, but you need to actually say what you want to be changed. Shadow311 (talk) 16:33, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pizzeria Simulator page also merged?[edit]

You could argue that UCN is a side game (though most people agree it's the seventh game), but Pizzeria Simulator is definitely a main game. The sixth main game. I feel that at least this one deserves a page. Anonymous29345 (talk) 15:09, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Game List is missing info[edit]

The release timeline is all sorts of messed up. It’s missing myPopgoes, Popgoes Evergreen, fnac fur, and TJOC remaster. These games are not released yet besides the Gamejolt version of myPopgoes (granted the Steam release is not out and has more content, so make of that as you will). Fnac 1-3 also have a remaster planned with one of them being out already. Granted, the first remaster was released before the fanverse, but once the remasters come out it would be awkward to not have the first remaster there. Also as a suggestion to avoid confusion, it should be specified that onaf 1 and 2 in the 2020 year are mobile ports in the timeline portion. It is worth considering adding the original PC release of these games but that is up for debate and can open a can of worms involving if the other pre fanverse games should be added.
