Incorrect article name edit
"Doom Trooper CCG" does NOT exist. It's "Doomtrooper CCG". You can check ANY of the External links in the article to verify this, you can Google ANY image of the box, booster, rulebook. So rather finish the change of the article name, which is wrong, than undoing changes in the article, which are right.

- Anybody can rename or "Move" this to a new title. If you don't know how, somebody else can do it.What title would be correct? BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 01:38, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
I did, someone reverted it every time. I gave you guys all the info, sources, tried to fix it for you. I'm not going to waste my time to get through this stupid rigid system and change an obviously wrong title. 3 months later, it's still wrong. If you want it wrong, keep it wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.102.42.206 (talk) 23:18, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
Video game should be seperate article edit
The Doom Troopers video game has nothing to do with the Doom Trooper card game. The similar name is only because they're based on the same franchise. Like how there is a Star Wars: X-Wing video game, but also a Star Wars: X-Wing board game. They should be seperate articles. 80.98.184.139 (talk) 18:03, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
- Understood, but nothing suggests that either deserve an article on their own with the limited amount of references they have. Combined they have staying power. Plenty of articles on separate subjects exist under one franchise focused article. Leitmotiv (talk) 18:51, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
- I won't believe for a second that the reason these two games are in one article is NOT because they have similar names. Dark Eden got its own article, with basically no references, even though it's a Mutant Chronicles CCG just like Doom Trooper. The tabletop game Warzone got its own article. The Mutant Chronicles spin-off games are all listed in the main article. If they have no references why not just have them as subsections in the main Mutant Chronicles article? 80.98.184.139 (talk) 05:43, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
- Believe what you want to believe, but that doesn't change reality. Just because you found an exception to the rule doesn't mean it won't be changed in the future. Plenty of things go overlooked until they aren't. We don't use existing bad templating as a reason to continue it. Leitmotiv (talk) 19:37, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
- Well, you do use bad templating. Mutant Chronicles RPG had many spinoffs. You decided that one of the Mutant Chronicles spinoss isn't important enough to get its own article, so you dedided for some reason that it shouldn't be in the Mutant Chronicles article, but in the article of a different spinoff that has a similar name. Who puts two items together based on names similarity? How is this good templating? Putting spin-offs that don't get their own article in the main article is the rule, not the exception. You don't put a Dark Soul subsection in the Dark Souls (video game) article. You put it in the Mutant Chronicles article. They don't even have the same name, they just have similar names. How is it bad templating to put the spin-offs that aren't important enough in the main article? Why would you group them by name similarity in articles? This is the exception. This is the bad templating. This makes no sense. 80.98.184.139 (talk) 12:34, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

- Note that "combined they still have staying power" is not a Wikipedia policy. Notability is determined individually and related yet separate subjects cannot be combined to be notable. That said, the video game does pass the Mobygames test, so that at least is definitely notable enough and requires a separate article.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 08:50, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
