Are there any naming conventions for hack pages? Should Super_Mario_Odyssey_Demo be prefixed with 'Hack' or the game name? --Labmaster Talk 02:01, 26 Oct 2005 (EDT)

The convention so far has been to just give it a regular name page, and put it in the Game's category...perhaps this should change.--Gau 03:42, 26 Oct 2005 (EDT)

"List of" pages

What is the official consensus on "List of" pages like List of Super Mario World hacks or List of EarthBound utilities? Should these be done by categories instead, or is this way okay? --Mr. Tenda 23:11, 2 November 2005 (EST)

I have feeling that categories would tend to work better for those, but "List of" pages allow you to "request" a page by linking to it. Where there are "List of" pages, there should almost definitely be a corresponding category, but it may be okay to have both. Maybe check how Wikipedia handles it? --AnyoneEB 08:13, 4 November 2005 (EST)
From looking at Wikipedia list pages (List of lists), it seems like they either have a corresponding category or the list's subject (ie: List of Aboriginal communities in Canada) is so obscure that it does not really deserve a category. That is probably what we should be doing. --Mr. Tenda 13:49, 4 November 2005 (EST)
Okay, thank you for checking that out. (I was posting during Math class, so I could not check. :-D) --AnyoneEB 17:39, 4 November 2005 (EST)
