  • Keep<score>...</score> is not always the appropriate option; its output is often too big and its use requires considerable expertise. If existing uses of the template are replaced by identical rendering via <score>...</score>, I'll change my mind. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:56, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep it's widely used and deleting it would unnecessarily break good pages. Having more than one way to do something is not a problem. -- Fbergo (talk) 11:42, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NAVBOX as it not a "single, coherent subject" and the articles listed do not refer to each other at all. It's an arbitrary collection: genre by publisher. The MMO (massively multiplayer online) part only says one thing about how it is played, not about the actual gameplay. Soetermans. T / C 09:30, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And by that same logic we could have first-person shooters by 2K, action-adventure games by Nintendo or role-playing games by Square-Enix. --Soetermans. T / C 09:31, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:ECB reference values edit

The result of the discussion was relisted at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2015 September 13#Template:ECB reference valuesAlakzi (talk) 10:39, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template is an WP:INDISCRIMINATE list of stats. As I've argued at Template_talk:ECB_reference_values#What_is_the_point_of_this.3F, perhaps some content (ie a few examples for illustrative purposes of how the values are calculated) can be salvaged, or perhaps converting it into a graph of historical variations might be useful. But the creator insists on keeping 40 months of raw statistical data for reasons that escape me. In its current state it is WP:NOT in scope of the project. Note that the template only has 2 transclusions as is. TDL (talk) 03:45, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
