Template talk:NES

Rename

@Bro3256 Perhaps this template can be renamed to "Famicom" since most of the releases originated from there before making its way to the NES. Super Mario RPG (talk) 15:19, June 1, 2024 (EDT)

To be honest if this were to be renamed than I would suggest something like "FC/NES" to reflect the visible name displayed on the template. --Bro3256 (talk) 18:31, December 5, 2024 (EST)

Rename the NES Template

The discussion above is short enough that I wouldn't like to just repeat it, but we have three options:

• Move to {{FC}}, since the Famicom predates the NES by two years. It's worth noting that the console's full name is Family Computer, hence the abbreviation I chose.
• Move to {{FC/NES}}, since it better reflects the actual name at the header of the template. If, for whatever reason, the use of the slash is not allowed in a template, then {{FCNES}} would be used instead.
• Keep it as {{NES}}. No further change.

Move to {{FC}}

1. Super Mario RPG (talk) Secondary choice.

Move to {{FC/NES}}

1. LadySophie17 (talk) My preferred option.
2. Super Mario RPG (talk) Long overdue.
3. Sparks (talk) They're essentially the same thing, so having both names would definitely help.
4. Rykitu (talk) Per all.
5. EvieMaybe (talk) per proposal
6. ThePowerPlayer (talk) Per all.

Keep it as {{NES}}

1. Shy Guy on Wheels (talk) if it ain't broke don't fix it.
2. Starluxe (talk) I think this change harms more than it helps...

Comments (Renaming the template)

The template header has since been changed to include the Famicom Disk System. Which means that option 2 (rename to {{FC/NES}} is no longer accurate. I don't know what to do now. I could update option 2 to include the Disk System (probably as {{FC/FCDS/NES}}, but I think I would prefer to simply not include the Disk System in the header or name.

@Starluxe what harm do you think this proposal would cause? — Lady Sophie ^(T|C) 09:17, December 22, 2024 (EST)
