List of WWE SmackDown video game titles
I feel this list establishes and meets the FL criteria, though, concerns shall be addressed. This list, lists every video game titles released in the WWE SmackDown (video game series).-- S R X -- Latino Heat '' 00:59, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Ok, I removed the bold from the linked text. I find the placeability of the references for the consoles and release dates hard to place in that table, because there are going to be different rows, and each game has different release dates around the world. Which is why that types of table is used by WP:VG, like the FL List of Harvest Moon titles. S R X -- Latino Heat '' 01:41, 14 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah okay, I have never seen that formatting before. Gary King ( talk ) 01:42, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Neither did I, until I saw that FL, which is why I used it for this list ;) S R X -- Latino Heat '' 01:45, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * There's also no need to link idle years per MOS:UNLINKYEARS. Gary King ( talk ) 01:51, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Done-- S R X -- Latino Heat '' 02:07, 14 June 2008 (UTC)


 * One last thing: I'd be inclined to the 2009 game, as it hasn't been released yet. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 16:59, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I saw in other FL's they have the unreleased games with just the future game tag, which I just added, as some info about the unreleased game is in the lead. Is that still ok? S R X -- Latino Heat '' 17:10, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I actually don't like the tag! It's up to you, leave the tag in, or leave it as it was. :) Support. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 17:15, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Needs a bolded word in the lead.
 * Per WP:LEAD, it doesn't need a bold word, if there is no common one, and I used List of Harvest Moon titles (an FL) as a model, which also does not bold a word.-- S R X -- Latino Heat '' 14:00, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm surprised WWE SmackDown (video game series) doesn't link to it (or at least, I couldn't find a prominent link) - why not?
 * It does link to it, it has a main article link towards this list.-- S R X -- Latino Heat '' 14:00, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Same with WWE video games
 * Ok, I added a related articles section to the template, so it is in the template now.-- S R X -- Latino Heat '' 14:00, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Please leave me a talk page note to take another look - everything else seems good. —Giggy 03:33, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

I'll check back in later after these are addressed. (Guyinblack25 talk 05:41, 29 June 2008 (UTC))
 * Comments: This list has really shaped up nicely. A few minor things that I noticed though that I think should be addressed.
 * In the lead, the sentence about the original and present series seems weird with the years in parenthesis. Could they be integrated into the text so they have a better context?
 * I integrated them into the context. S R X -- Latino Heat '' 14:00, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The last sentence of the lead seems a bit off to me. Maybe start with "THQ and YUKE's Future Media Creators consider one reason the series has..."
 * Fixed S R X -- Latino Heat '' 14:00, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * In the notes for WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2006, I would trim it a bit: "Was the first video game in to the series that begun using include a year in its title.
 * Fixed S R X -- Latino Heat '' 14:00, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * In the notes for WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007, I would tweak the sentence some to flow better and be more concise. Try this: " Was originally going to be released also on the A PlayStation 3 version was also planned, but was canceled mid-way into production."
 * Fixed
 * Ref 5 and 6 are missing their authors.
 * I added them S R X -- Latino Heat '' 14:00, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The authors for ref 21, 27, and 30 can be wikilinked: Jeremy Dunham and Matt Casamassina.
 * I wikilinkied them. S R X -- Latino Heat '' 14:00, 29 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Support: My concerns have been addressed. The list looks good: the lead is engaging, the list is comprehensive and well-structured. Nice job. (Guyinblack25 talk 17:34, 29 June 2008 (UTC))
