Talk:ZPack - Random Maps for ZDoom

Notability
With due respect to the designers, all of whom probably work harder on each map than I ever have on the wiki... does anyone else find it strange that we don't have separate episode articles for The Lost Episodes, a commercial release, but we do have them for this WAD, which is just another ZDoom entry in /idgames?

 * Yeah, now that I think of it, I find this odd, myself. In fact, now that I have the Requiem pages done, I thought about making pages for the Lost Episodes.  I don't have the book, so I can't provide any story-related content from it, but I can certainly provide the usual gameplay information (or at least the secrets. ;)  Failing that, I also considered doing pages for either Community Chest 3 (oh, the hubris!) or Mars War, but I digress.  Either way, though, the contrast is certainly quite strange. The Green Herring 00:45, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Just my explanation of my thinking when I wrote the first draft of the articles. I was going off of this statement regarding WADs in the policies and guidelines on notability: "One article per map, plus one summary page for each multi-level file (as with the episodes of the classic series)."  To me, this statement is ambiguous.  It says multi-level file as if referring to separate wads but then episodes of the classic series which are absolutely not individual files.  So, I made a guess, assuming that at the worst if other wiki editors did not like it they would merge things together.  So that all is up to the regular editors of the wiki to decide.


 * As far as my personal opinion goes, I don't see a real problem with letting wads which have arguably separate episodes (like ZPack, with 3 sets of 10 maps, definitely has unique episodes) have separate episode articles. Maybe some certain criteria, like how I put (ZPack) in the article titles for all the episodes, needs to be met, but that's about it.  72.88.84.109 22:00, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
