Talk:Five Nights at Freddy's

Semi-protected edit request on 31 October 2023
In the Human Characters section under William Afton and under Burntrap it states: "Burntrap is a heavily damaged and charred version of Spring Bonnie which contains Afton's undead body following his resurrection in Security Breach". This should be instead changed to: "Burntrap is a heavily damaged and charred version of Spring Bonnie which contains Afton's undead body following his resurrection in one of Security Breach's endings". This is due to the fact that in the later "Ruin DLC" expansion for the game Security Breach it is heavily implied that the "Burntrap Ending" from the base game is not canon to the games story via the comic strips made by the Security Breach character Gregory spread out across the "Ruin DLC" location. These comic strips contain all endings except for one which is the "Princess Quest" ending (which is not the "Burntrap" ending). Although not outright confirmed by the creator of the games, this change would make sure that no false information is told and the reader can choose whether or not being part of one of the various endings from the game means the Burntrap was canonically resurrected in the overall lore of the franchise.

Is this real?
I think someone slipped this into IMDb as a prank. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29885098/reference/ I tried Googling for other sources on it, and I got some Fandom.com pages about a 1987 Five Night's at Freddy's cartoon starring John Goodman, but that's got to be something in-universe. At any rate, even that didn't show anything from 1987 with the title "Revenge of the FNAF" as given on IMDb. Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 17:36, 4 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Yeah none of that is real, it's a bunch of internet shitposting. FnaF has only exited since 2014. λ Negative  MP1  17:47, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Red question icon with gradient background.svg Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. That is a fairly well-known fact, but you need to actually say what you want to be changed. Shadow311 (talk) 16:33, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Pizzeria Simulator page also merged?
You could argue that UCN is a side game (though most people agree it's the seventh game), but Pizzeria Simulator is definitely a main game. The sixth main game. I feel that at least this one deserves a page. Anonymous29345 (talk) 15:09, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Game List is missing info
The release timeline is all sorts of messed up. It’s missing myPopgoes, Popgoes Evergreen, fnac fur, and TJOC remaster. These games are not released yet besides the Gamejolt version of myPopgoes (granted the Steam release is not out and has more content, so make of that as you will). Fnac 1-3 also have a remaster planned with one of them being out already. Granted, the first remaster was released before the fanverse, but once the remasters come out it would be awkward to not have the first remaster there. Also as a suggestion to avoid confusion, it should be specified that onaf 1 and 2 in the 2020 year are mobile ports in the timeline portion. It is worth considering adding the original PC release of these games but that is up for debate and can open a can of worms involving if the other pre fanverse games should be added.

Developer team missing from the right side bar of the page
On the left side bar (specifically the "developers section) the developers for Five Nights at Freddy's: Survival Crew (Metaverse Team Frights) are missing from that mini-list ASWELL as Five Nights at Freddy's: Survival Crew not having its own part in the "Games" section. Even tho the game was quicly removed and is currently getting completely remade, the history of it should still be written down until further information. MattsAdveYT (talk) 11:11, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Story Overview Revamp
As it currently is, I think the current story overview needs some changes in order to make it more concise and useful for those unaware of the franchise's plot. I have three somewhat minor changes that I think would help it better, but I want to see if people agree with them before I implement them, especially since this is a semi-protected page. My changes are as follows


 * 1) Remove the reference to the Bite of '87. It should not be here for multiple reasons such as a. It just feels very out of place in the rest of the summary and does not help anyone get a sense of what the plot is b. Even though it is iconic, the Bite of '87 does not hold really any significance in the grand scheme of things, besides the fact that it is the reason the animatronics can not roam during the day but the summary does not even state it. I don't think the Bite of '87 was ever meant to be too important to the larger story, I think Cawthon just put it into Phone Guy's call to add to the mystery and horror of the pizzeria, not because it has any real lore behind it (at least no lore notable enough for a brief summary). 2. Remove the FNaF 4 Crying Child summary. As it is now it feels very out of place and just seems like you are throwing non-essential info into the summary. If the summary just said that Fazbear's Family Diner eventually closed down due to the Bite of '83, where a kid was put into the animatronics mouth by his older brother and friends then it would be better but still may be clunky. Unlike the Bite of '87, I do believe that is important for the larger franchise but the main reason for why it is important to many fans is due to apparent connection to Michael Afton. Which kid Michael Afton is, or whether he is even one of them, is a hotly debated topic so I am advocating the article mention it. However, since the article does not show why this event is important for the larger franchise, I feel like currently listing this event makes readers confused rather than informed, because it is just haphazardly thrown into a random part of the summary, with seemingly no contribution to the larger narrative. 3. Probably the smallest change, contextualize Afton's death better. As of now, it again feels out of place (but unlike the other two, it does actually contribute to the summary). I feel like it should it say something like "After the closure of the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, Afton dismantles the remaining animatronics in a secret backroom. The ghosts possessing the animatronics are thus released and confront Afton", and then summarize the rest of his death. I feel like that just helps give context to when and where the ghosts actually confront Afton and why he is in that situation in the first place.  I'm sorry if this was long-winded or wordy in parts, but I just feel like the current summary could be much better and thus help inform the people who read this article more. If you disagree with any or all of my changes, or think that my suggestions could be tweaked please tell me.

 * I edited in number 1 and 3 as I agree with those and feel like they make sense, but I haven't done number two. We probably need more consensus for removing the plot of a whole game from the overarching story.
 * Also, please break your future messages into sections lol. That's a ton of words to read in one gigantic block of text. TheWikiToby (talk) 22:14, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. I swore I separated them into segments when I wrote it. MewtwoRBGY (talk) 00:26, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and boldly made my own rewrite of the story section to try and make it the absolute minimum to understand the plot of the series, per Wikipedia's guidelines for writing plot summaries, while also going back to citing the reliable sources that the plot summary was initially based on. Most content (such as naming either of the Bite's, anything about Ennard, etc.) is in reality fairly redundant and has little impact on the outcome of the series, so what I believe should be covered is in there right now. I also believe that my rewrite should address your concerns, since I think it's fairly easy to understand for a brief overview. λ Negative  MP1  07:24, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
