Reception

• "Reviews" -> "Critical reception

• Done. Vestigia Leonis (talk) 18:01, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

• Critics should be named, probably as "X's Y" or "Writing for X, Y said" or something similar

• Isn’t naming critics a choice rather than a requirement? I've had three GAs and one FA pass without any complaints. I generally only include author names when the content could be considered controversial. Vestigia Leonis (talk) 18:01, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

I don't think there's any specific policy about it but I find it helps with clarity Olliefant (she/her) 18:18, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

• Either cut "Reassessment" and merge the content with another section or rename it, otherwise the heading is misleading.

• What is misleading about the heading? Took this over from FA Terraria and thought it makes sense to split "original" reviews from reassessments. Vestigia Leonis (talk) 18:02, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

Reassessment implies the general opinion changed, here it didn't. It went from well received to well received Olliefant (she/her) 18:17, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

• Done (changed to retrospective reception). Vestigia Leonis (talk) 19:08, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

• The table is missing row and column scopes per MOS:DTAB
• The table is missing a caption per MOS:DTAB
• The table isn't sorting properly, (for instance "The Game Awards 2016" should sort by "Game" and not "The")
• "Ref" -> "Ref(s)" as some have multiple citations

• Done, except for Ref -> Ref(s). Whatever I do to change it, I break the template used. Any advice? Vestigia Leonis (talk) 19:08, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
