GameTrailers.com has a bunch here. I don't have good bandwidth, so I haven't watched them. SharkD  Talk  01:06, 27 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sub-pages

edit

Hopefully the sub-pages get moved soon. The search feature will not work until they are. SharkD  Talk  02:58, 21 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Also, there should really be a publisher column too if we're going to make it easy to make citations. SharkD  Talk  17:38, 21 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
If we make citations for all entries, should we just have a copy-pastable citation pre-filled including all the common details there - exact date, issue, authors, publisher? In fact, I would say date and year could be merged for that reason. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 18:06, 21 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, that was kind of my idea. As for the date column, that is there because I wanted the table to be sortable. Some entries only have an issue number, and the issue information is going to mess up the sorting if it's in the same column. I guess we could could get rid of the year column, but I want to be able to sort by date. SharkD  Talk  23:56, 21 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
Are there really any entries with unknown publication date? Sorting by date is definitely useful, and I assumed all entries would be able to provide a date, if applicable. Or are we talking dynamic lists that get continuously updated? In those cases, would a date even matter? —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 17:03, 22 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
Yes, some lists don't have dates because new titles get added sparodically. SharkD  Talk  17:13, 22 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
I moved all the dates to the Date column and added the Publisher and Archive URL columns. SharkD  Talk  17:12, 22 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
Please put each list in its own sub-page. Thanks. SharkD  Talk  23:06, 23 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
Sure. Almost two dozen user-based lists didn't seem that important to subpage each. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 23:22, 23 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
Problem is, the search feature doesn't work as intended when you bunch them up into one page. SharkD  Talk  01:31, 25 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

I found this site which seems to serve the same purpose as this list. Some differences include no platform/genre-specific lists, and the oldest list is from 2008. SharkD  Talk  01:46, 25 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
