This namespace is for including information about how to use your content in games.
Articles in this top-level namespace won't generally have any sort of game statistics. Rather, the details would go in a subspace within the Game namespace, and the page at this level would only give very broad advice about using the material in games, and/or state what particular games material currently exists for. There are currently six subspaces within the Gamespace, each of which will eventually be further divided into lower-level subspaces for specific games:
- Game:RPG
- Role-playing games
- Game:CCG
- Customizable card games
- Game:War
- Miniatures games and other war games
- Game:Board
- Board games
- Game:Card
- Card games (other than CCGs)
- Game:Dice
- Dice games
As explained in the PublicWongery:editing guidelines, however, even if you only want to have game statistics for a single game, it's generally a good idea to create pages for the full "chain" of namespaces leading to it. For instance, if you want to have a page for game statistics for the subject of your article for the Year Zero Engine, which would be at Game:RPG:Zero:((your article title))]], it's recommended—though not required—that you also create pages for Game:RPG:((your article title)) and Game:((your article title). The reason for this is that if those pages don't exist, then your Year Zero Engine page won't be accessible through the tabs at the top of the page, and can only be reached by typing in the full page name or by direct links.
