Not opposed to a navbox based upon a video game engine, but there is a 100% overlap with {{Paradox Development Studio games}}. A mention of Europa Engine would be more suitable. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 11:06, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Europa Engine is a redirect, by the way, if that should be mentioned. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 11:07, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. ✗plicit 14:48, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A template for an external link, linking to website PCGamingWiki. It is not a suitable external link, since PCGamingWiki is suitable for (experienced) PC gamers, with the technical know-how to change, mod, tweak, a game. It doesn't offer any encyclopedic information. I used the same example on WT:VG: Their wiki on BioShock Infinite for instance is great if the player would want to skip the introduction video, add a Turkish fan translation or disable lens flare effects, but how does that help the general reader, wanting to know more about BioShock Infinite? soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 08:40, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. As creator. The site meets the standard under WP:ELNO#EL12 which is a wiki with a substantial history of stability and a substantial number of editors. It contains a level of detail which would be unsuitable for an encyclopedia article but may be of interest to our readers. Either way, that is more a question of the WP:EL policy rather than whether the template should exist at all. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 15:56, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is acceptable because it doesn't fail one bullet point of ELNO? It's a wiki for gamers for running PC games. It's not of interest to the general reader whatsoever. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 20:41, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Try as I might, but I can't find what part of WP:ELNO this violates. It appears to offer precisely what external links are supposed to - additional information and research beyond what a featured article might even have. They are specifically for people who want a more indepth view of the subject, such as technical specs. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:36, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
