Talk:Deathtrap (video game)

PlayStation 4
I'm taking this to the talk page so we don't start edit-warring with. I think it is highly misleading to list PlayStation 4 as platform because the game doesn't exist (yet) on this platform. True, the Template:Infobox video game documentation allows listing announced ports, but such an unqualified statement serves no informative purpose - on the contrary. As a compromise, we can add it in the infobox with a qualifier " (under development) ", but at least let's not categorize it under Category:PlayStation 4 games, ok? By the way, WP:OTHERSTUFF (like in this edit summary) is not a valid argument in such discussions. — Yerpo Eh? 10:36, 24 March 2017 (UTC)


 * It's not necessary to add the qualification "under development" in the infobox. Visitors can recognize by reading the release schedule that a version is planned but still lacking a solid release date. Citing WP:OTHERSTUFF seems misplaced when WP:VG says this is how we should proceed. I strongly recommend starting a topic on the community talk page asking for clarification, or proposing new guideline, if you wish to have things changed. — TPX 13:04, 24 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Where in WP:VG does it say this? — Yerpo Eh? 13:45, 24 March 2017 (UTC)


 * I was referring only to listing planned ports in the infobox, which as you observe above is perfectly normal. As for categorizing forthcoming platforms, I'm just using common sense - do we also remove from Arms (video game) and Splatoon 2 until the game is released, because almost every editor adds that information when a title/platform is announced.  — TPX 19:27, 24 March 2017 (UTC)


 * A more constructive idea would be to make a system of categories "Upcoming [platform] games", just as there is "Upcoming video games scheduled for [year]", but that's a discussion for the WikiProject VG and I'm not familiar enough with it to know if this was proposed before or if there's any reason nobody has thought of that yet. — Yerpo Eh? 19:58, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
