The link to feelies.org is broken - that no longer exists. Is there a current one?

Incorrect link?

Hello. I have noticed that clicking on the name "Philip Mitchell" (in the "Notable works of interactive fiction" section) leads to the page about Philip Mitchell, a British playwright. Which I believe is not correct, since the person who created "The Hobbit" is an Australian programmer. Also, in the original game's instructions he is credited as "Philip Mitchel" (with one "l"), although that might be a spelling mistake. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.24.51.224 (talk • contribs) 22:39, 20 September 2006 (UTC1)

Merge of interactive novel?

I'm suggesting a merge of Interactive novel into this article. I'm not insistent, as it might sit better as a standalone article and I've copied in the lead for a summary-style section already. Fences&Windows 15:32, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please see #Other definitions of "interactive fiction" for previous discussions about terminology. Personally I think it would make more sense to merge your article with Hypertext fiction. --Curiousdannii (talk) 16:31, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. It's worth noting that other definitions of IF don't restrict themselves to the command-line parser interface, but hypertext fiction is a better match for the interactive novel. Dennis G. Jerz (talk) 18:15, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Let's merge it with the "make your own damn map" games category along with all those Wizardry-like dungeon crawlers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.87.135.188 (talk) 13:47, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Archival

I'd like to configure archival for this rather enormous talk page using the same settings as at Talk:Talker. Any objections or other thoughts? —chaos5023 (talk) 19:39, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me. There are some good suggestions at WP:ARCHIVE. Good luck. -Thibbs (talk) 20:13, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
