Significance

I'm sorry, what is the significance of this being listed as part of the My Little Pony Franchise? User:AFanCorp

The project's already been highlighted in multiple sources that qualify as legitimate under wikipedia standards. It's notability has been established, if only just barely. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 00:47, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm surprised this article passed notability standards. But heck, I'm just excited to actually try this game out. ☆ Antoshi ☆ ^{T | C} 19:49, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

I fail to see the significance of this article. No one talks about it even in the brony community save for when it was first announced and when that livestream came out. How in any way has this game made any impact on the My Little Pony franchise or community? If this question can't be answered then this article shouldn't exist. Otherwise the significance of the game should be added to the article because this article seems nothing more than an advertisement to me. Ce Ne Pas un Username (talk) 23:10, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

The subject has multiple reliable sources discussing it, having it meet the general notability guideline, which is why the article exists. Silverseren^C 01:08, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

This is an unfinished, unlicensed, simple browser game. One of many that constantly released, dozens come out every month, they do not all merit an article on Wikipedia. Yes, multiple websites about casual gaming have mentioned this upcoming game, the same is true of many other free online games. But should every one of them have their own page? This is shameless self promotion of something very insignificant. (Drelostams (talk) 06:13, 5 December 2011 (UTC))

A) It's a full, downloadable title, not a simple browser game. B) Because of coverage in multiple reliable sources like the Escapist, Joystiq, G4, and GamePro, it has met the guideline for notability and is therefore eligible for an article. C) You can't say it's self-promotion if none of the page editors are actually associated with the game. D) The article was already been nominated for deletion once, andmost of the commenters argued against deletion; furthermore, the article has only improved in the four months since, and it's only going to get better as more sites cover it and more devblogs are released regarding the game's mechanics and development cycle. So no, deletion is hardly necessary. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 06:50, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Clearly just self-advertisement. If this is the case, I should get to make a Wiki page for every crappy RMXP game I've ever dumped out. Please try to keep things in perspective. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.221.140.211 (User ) 21:51, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

See above. It's not self promotion, and it's met notability guidelines. It stays. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 22:43, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

New CBC Article

Here you go.  Dylanlip  (talk) 16:14, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Saw it on the nightly roundup. Thanks, anyway. Rainbow Dash !xmcuvg2MH 16:15, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Images

So, I added an image of the character selection screen. Should I add any gameplay screenshots to the page? Thanks.--COOLTUX345 (talk) 14:52, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

I think at least one gameplay screen would be a good idea. If possible, try to grab one using the most recent HUD layout; if the interface changes between now and release, we can always replace it later. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 07:31, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

That may be hard to acquire, but I'll try my best.COOLTUX345 (talk) 00:41, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Update: There are no full-sized screenshots with a newer version of the interface, but there are a couple that show part of the screen, or show the entire screen but use the old GUI.COOLTUX345 (talk) 00:45, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Official logo revealed: dogman15 (talk) 04:23, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Excellent. Let's replace the character select screen with the proper logo, and add the "Round 1" screen to the body since it uses the current interface. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 17:09, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

External links

Is it really appropriate to link to EqD and ponychan from the article? Eqd could possibly be used as a source, however I see no use for linking to ponychan, considering all content on an image board will eventually 404 anyway. I have removed both links, please revert and discuss if you do not agree. --Princess Derpy (talk) 21:23, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

I agree. Using blogs for citations is against Wikipedia standards anyway.94.14.125.145 (User ) 14:39, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Wrong picture in thumbnail

Is it just my computer, or is the wrong screenshot displaying as the thumbnail for the character selection screen in this article? If you click it, it shows the current picture, but the thumbnail in the article shows the old picture. Is there a way to fix this? Has it happened before? dogman15 (talk) 21:33, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

It's doing that for me too, which is odd, considering it was displaying the new image just fine a few days ago. Maybe try taking it to the Help Desk?

Nothing there really appeals to me as being able to help me with this specific issue. It's all about problems that could normally be fixed by simple editing, nothing about technical issues like this that are beyond editing. dogman15 (talk) 04:11, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Normally you'd have to flush the cache, you do this by going to the picture, clicking edit, then replace the '&action=edit' in your browser with '&action=purge'. That's usually how one fixes the thumbnail displaying wrong, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. Perhaps because I'm not logged in. 97.106.171.58 (talk) 15:55, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
