Regarding its merit for inclusion, even though the game is set in GTA III canon, it isn't a driving and shooting game like the entire GTA series, existing as a title with a significantly different genre (a tactical stealth-based shooter, like the Metal Gear series), hence its removal from the template. Adding a "spin-off" section in the template just for the title may be a good idea, but I would like hear a few comments about this suggestion before going ahead. ╫ 25 ◀RingADing▶ 09:09, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok would be ok to put it under "Miscellaneous topics"? Its just that the template is used in the Manhunt article.
Seems reasonable to put the link in there for now; we'll see what the other editors think about it. In the meantime, I've given the mods and Manhunt their own section in the seriesbox. ╫ 25 ◀RingADing▶ 14:24, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Eras"

What's up with the "eras" sections? it doesn't make sense to me --Philo 07:14, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The games are suppose to be separated by mini-series or canon. This setup makes it easy to categorize the game's designs and graphics, and universe. Also, given that it's still not clear if the GTA1, GTA2, and GTA III series of games are connected, it would be misleading to imply that all of them take place in the same universe by clumping all of the games together. Preferably, replacing "era" with "series" would be proper; I admit that the "era" naming is improper and self-invented. Until Rockstar begins producing each GTA game with different designs and canons, I don't this these sections are a problem. ╫ 25 ◀RingADing▶ 10:02, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
