WikiProject Video games logo

Welcome to the Video games WikiProject on the English Wikipedia! We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to video games.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them on our discussion page, or by contacting participants of the project.

Purpose and Goals

Our main functions are to:

provide guidelines and recommendations for all articles related to video games;
improve Wikipedia's coverage of video games by creating, expanding and maintaining such articles;
serve as the central point of discussion for issues related to video games on Wikipedia; and
maintain the Video games portal.

We are currently working toward four major milestones:

200 Good or Featured Articles on 1980s video games: 79% complete

(150 Good + 8 Featured / 200)

2,600 GA-Class articles: 94.7% complete

(139 remain)

All Mid/High/Top-Importance articles C-Class or better: 80.8% complete

(3123 / 3864)

50 Good or Featured Topics: 96% complete

(40 Good + 8 Featured / 50)

3.5% List-Class
17.3% Stub-Class
52% Start-Class
15.6% C-Class
5% B-Class
5.7% GA-Class
0.9% FA-Class
0% remaining

Participation

We welcome everyone who wishes to improve video game articles. You don't need to formally join our project in order to contribute, but feel free to indicate your participation by adding our userbox, advert or top icon to your user page. Members are welcome to join our project chat on the unofficial Wikimedia Discord server; please see WP:Discord for more information.

New users who have contributed to video game related articles can be informed about this project by adding the {{vgproj welcome}} template to their talk pages.

Video Game Barnstar

Members of our project may like to reward other users with a barnstar. The project features the Video Games Barnstar: {{subst:VG Barnstar|text on award. ~~~~}} Userbox and ribbon alternatives are also available.

The five pillars of Wikipedia—a quick rundown of the five key rules you should understand before editing.
Simplified ruleset—12 rules of thumb to help you avoid problems.
List of policies—a comprehensive list of the 42 official policies.

Directory of video game projects and taskforces

The assessment department evaluates the quality and importance of video game related articles.
The essential articles page identifies the most important topics in the scope of this WikiProject.
The reference library is an archive of high-quality sources that may be used to support development history, critical reception, and other sections of articles.
We have task forces within our project that provide centralized information and discussion for topics that have a sufficiently large scope, but would not benefit from having a separate WikiProject with all of the associated bureaucracy.
