How about we divide the leftover/unused data found in the code of games and general development info? The articles for the games themselves would contain information on the latter, such as info from comments and interviews with the developers, how long it took to develop the games, etc. Meanwhile the former part would remain as is in either "Development leftovers of <game>" or "Data mining of <game>" (since data mining is actually used by fans and this doesn't have an official title anyway). What do you guys think?

== Titles of core series game articles == | |||
<ab>I think that for the sake of consistency and simplicity, the titles of core series game articles should all drop the "Version" moniker. First, not having it doesn't make it less official since both official and third-party reliable sources often don't use it. Second, it would help editors since they wouldn't have to add alternative text without the moniker all the time just so that the links are direct to the game articles, not to mention that it would also deprecate a few templates we use for that purpose alone. | |||
For example, the article about the Generation V sequels is titled "Pokémon Black and White Versions 2" instead of simply "Pokémon Black 2 and White 2". An editor that uses templates to directly link to the article as well as alternative text to not include the "Version" moniker has to type in <nowiki>{{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}</nowiki> as opposed to <nowiki>{{g|Black 2 and White 2}}</nowiki>, <nowiki>{{pkmn|Black 2 and White 2}}</nowiki>, or the standard Wikilink-style <nowiki>[[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]</nowiki>. This shouldn't have to be like this.</ab> [[User:SatoMew2|<b><span style="color:blue">Sato</span></b>]][[User talk:SatoMew2|<b><span style="color:pink">Mew</span></b>]] 16:00, 26 December 2014 (UTC) | |||
