| Hi, Flipkin. I've noticed you've been going about adding ] links to several video games articles. Thanks for doing this! A lot of them need the link. I thought you might be interested in using the template for MobyGames entries: | |||
| :<nowiki>{{moby game|id=<everything in the URL after "game">|name=<game title>}}</nowiki> | |||
| to use, fill in the two fields. For example, for '']'': | |||
| :<nowiki>{{moby game|id=</nowiki>'''/pinball-construction-set'''<nowiki>|name=</nowiki>'''<nowiki>''</nowiki>Pinball Construction Set<nowiki>''</nowiki>'''<nowiki>}}</nowiki> | |||
| renders this: | |||
| :{{moby game|id=/pinball-construction-set|name=''Pinball Construction Set''}} | |||
| Of course, you're not required to use it, but I thought you might find it useful. Take care! ]— ] | ] 18:43, 13 September 2005 (UTC) | |||
| :Hi, Frecklefoot. I am still learning the system so I am not sure if I should reply here or on your ] page. The template is great. There are some nuances it does not cover. For instance ] entry is for the series of games and not just one. In which case the link: | |||
| ::http://www.mobygames.com/game_group/sheet/gameGroupId,571/ | |||
| :would be more appropriate. Also I imagine on occasion one may wish to link to the platform specific page instead of the combined page. | |||
| :Example | |||
| ::http://www.mobygames.com/game/intellivision/bump-n-jump | |||
| :vs | |||
| ::http://www.mobygames.com/game/bump-n-jump | |||
| :Best | |||

| I'm glad you're using it in some of the changes you make. However the template will work for the examples you cite. Remember, just enter everything after "game" in the URL. Both your examples URL's have "game" in them and you can put any text in the "game title" field. So, for the link: | |||
| :http://www.mobygames.com/game/intellivision/bump-n-jump | |||
| you'd do this: | |||
| :<nowiki>{{moby game|id=/intellivision/bump-n-jump|name=The Intellivision version of ''Bump-N-Jump''}}</nowiki> | |||
| which would render this: | |||
| :{{moby game|id=/intellivision/bump-n-jump|name=The Intellivision version of ''Bump-N-Jump''}} | |||
| You can do the same with similar URL's, such as the series one you cite. However, while I can see cases where you'd want to link to series, I can't think of a case where you'd want to link to just one version of a game. But if there is some extraordinary circustance, the template will handle it. HTH ]— ] | ] 20:03, 14 September 2005 (UTC) | |||

| == Random Mobygames comment == | |||
| I was doing some preliminery research for writing up an article on KISS: Psycho Circus. I'm almost certain that Mobygames has the release date incorrect, MobyGames states the US release was , whereas every other online site gives the release some time early August. I think the August date is backed up by the fact that a private release party was held on July 31, 2000 as evidenced by . Do you have any backup for your July claim? - ]]] 16:50, 10 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

| ==Riviera: The Promised Land links== | |||
| I would like to discuss the links to overall gaming sites in the article for ]. I should probably start by explaining exactly why I think they shouldn't be there. These websites are fairly popular, and if people want information from them it wouldn't be difficult to just search for it on those sites. The MobyGames link doesn't even have any information that the other sites linked to in that article didn't, so it just seems like it would be wasting space to have so many links there. ] 03:22, 14 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| David, you have established yourself as David Berk, a co-founder of the MobyGames website. As such ] prohibits you from adding any further links to MobyGames (and the 900 links you have already added may get automatically cleaned up) or editing articles about MobyGames, or getting involved in deletion discussions about MobyGames articles or templates.
