::: I think that, for the video games, we should just incorporate the basic plotline into articles for characters etc, and try to avoid talking about the gameplay effects. And maybe create a new tag for articles containing information from video games i.e "The Following section contains information from a video game".

The video games (old and new) conventionally have a single ending and have key moments of story throughout them. It is the ''story''/'''plot''' that we use as our source rather than the individual character/player ''actions''. In the canon policy and on the [[VG]] page this would be noted. | |||
Given the level of detail in the recent ''Adventure Games'' I'm going to step back from including them as a secondary source, as their info is fairly detailed at times and there are several articles using a video game as their only source, mostly character articles, and some like [[Kaalann]]. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 16:07, August 21, 2010 (UTC) | |||
