''Wasted started as a way to fill the space left by GTA SAMP Derby Destruction minigame servers, a vehicle-combat gamemode that was unfortunately not so popular anymore among Gta San Andreas players.
The game started as a fork of Yorg: a pretty car racing game made in Python made by Flavio Calva. But soon we realized something else was needed for the project.

A loose team from around the world was formed while building the tools for a new game. Namely: CrystalTheEevee, who added car designs, and Spongycake, who supported gameplay.
SuperTuxKart was declared as the game's new base of development. Franz's reason was tied to the fact SuperTuxKart had an impressive toolset offering solid coding and testing environments.
However, as a new derby mode was introduced, Wasted began to deviate from SuperTuxKart.

Wasted now is a complete hard fork of STK and it has almost nothing else to do with the original game nowadays.

'''A-Mazing Urho''' is a rhythmic maze game developed by [[LucKey Productions]], originally made for the Open Jam 2018 using the [[Urho3D]] game engine.

Levels are made with [[Edddy]].

==Instructions==
The goal is simple: Eat all the shrimp as quickly as you can, without touching any of the harmful hazards that the ocean holds. To be the fastest fish, timing is essential. The speedometer in the lower left corner - along with the pitch of the plop that ensues each undulation - can help you find the correct pace. Points are awarded based on Urho's velocity when it eats a shrimp.

'''''Principia''''' is, in its simplest form, a physics-based sandbox game. In Principia, you can build contraptions and simulate them in the physics simulation. This could be a mechanical contraption, an RC car, or a pinball game. Principia also contains a LuaScript object which allows you to write and create Lua programs that can interact with and affect the simulation.

Principia also features the Adventure game mode. In this game mode, you take control of a small robot which can do whatever you decide it to do. It can take part in a giant battle with enemy robots, or it can take control of the giant robot and wreak havoc on the world.

== History ==
Principia was the successor to a previous 2011 mobile game by Bithack AB called Apparatus. It was released as a proprietary paid game in November 2013 for Android, and later for Windows and iOS. The development was abandoned shortly after version 1.5.1 released in October 2014, due to financial difficulties.

In April 2016, Bithack announced that Principia would be made open source<ref>https://twitter.com/bithack/status/719403572115423232</ref> under the BSD 3-Clause license, however this fell through. It wasn't until in August 2022 that Principia's source code was finally released onto GitHub<ref>https://twitter.com/bithack/status/1555904122313908224</ref>, and it is now being further developed as a community project.

''Wasted started as a way to fill the space left by GTA SAMP Derby Destruction minigame servers, a vehicle-combat gamemode that was unfortunately not so popular anymore among Gta San Andreas players.
The game started as a fork of Yorg: a pretty car racing game made in Python made by Flavio Calva. But soon we realized something else was needed for the project.

A loose team from around the world was formed while building the tools for a new game. Namely: CrystalTheEevee, who added car designs, and Spongycake, who supported gameplay.
SuperTuxKart was declared as the game's new base of development. Franz's reason was tied to the fact SuperTuxKart had an impressive toolset offering solid coding and testing environments.
However, as a new derby mode was introduced, Wasted began to deviate from SuperTuxKart.

Wasted now is a complete hard fork of STK and it has almost nothing else to do with the original game nowadays.

Modanung: /* Deletion review due to assets created with generative AI */

== Deletion review due to assets created with generative AI ==

Part of the assets added to the project's repository over past year seem AI-generated.<ref>[https://codeberg.org/glitchapp/spinny-the-runner/src/commit/de4d6294468273b72d79bde5fcdcedbfae0c969f/src/data/images/player/big A folder in the repository full of AI-generated assets]</ref> It looks like this isn't mentioned anywhere, and - over on FreeGameDev.net - the developer ([[User:Glitchapp|glitchapp]]) responded evasively, both in regard to whether or not AI was used ''and'' whether the data set used to train it consisted of free culture.<ref>[https://freegamedev.net/d/852-spinny-the-runner-mechanical-menace/22 Relevant discussion on the FreeGameDev forums]</ref> AI image detectors declare with over 90% certainty these assets are indeed AI-generated. This means the project is (very likely) dealing with legal ambiguity and should therefor be removed from LibreGameWiki. [[User:Modanung|Modanung]] ([[User talk:Modanung|talk]]) 17:03, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
:To me this looks like the author openly admitted to use generative AI. I don’t think this alone is grounds for deletion. What matters is the data source that the AI has used. If the author can prove the AI only sources free cultural works and gives credit (where required), this game may be good to go. However, I highly doubt the author is able to do that. Do you known ''which'' AI specifically the author has used? This would simplify the deletion review a lot, I guess. In any case, I think this should ideally be a general LGW policy discussion on how we treat genAI works here, because the current Article Policy is silent on AI. Personally, I think genAI is a waste of time and resources but on the other hand, this is ''LibreGameWiki'', not ''AntiAIGameWiki''. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 21:54, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
::In the referenced FreeGameDev thread, I specifically asked about training data and did not get an answer. However, even in the unlikely scenario where all of the training data ''is'' free culture, how would you imagine attribution to work; list all creators that indirectly contributed to the training data? That didn't happen either. Unless all of it was public domain, it might still result in legal ambiguity, which is incompatible with free culture. The problem is not so much that AI was used. The issue is the copyright/licensing scenario that (almost always) comes with using AI. That does not require an explicit policy regarding the use of generative AI.

'''Spinny the Runner: Mechanical Menace''' is a platform game with mechanics of the 16 bits era, modern graphics and many features such as: story mode, multiplayer, touch controls, split screen, 4 selectable characters, game editor, and network controls.

It uses [[Boxclip]], a 2D platformer engine Originally created by Ricky Thomson (aka Jigoku)<ref>[https://github.com/Jigoku/boxclip Boxclip]</ref> with an emphasis on interactive map editing, built using the LÖVE2D framework.

==Gameplay==

==Editor==
[[File:LevelEditorSpinny.jpg|right|thumb|The map editor]]
Maps can be created with the custom built-in map editor. The user drops and places entities into the world to create a level.

==Development==
Both the game and the engine are enhanced and based on the last commit from Jigoku made on 17 August 2022. New features, content and assets have been added to both the game and the engine. Some of the most relevant include:

===Engine===
* New entities: Portals to bonus stages, cloth entities, bridges, doors, loops, new pickups and switches
* New physics: Camera angle affects gravity (used on some bonus stages) and fluid physics
* 3d spatial Audio and advanced vibration system (feel the environment)
* Built-in multiplayer chat client and server
* A.I. powered NPC
* Day-night algorithm

===Game===
* Thumbstick support: Control the player with the thumbstick
* Replaced most assets
* 4 players mode with split screen
* Story mode with dialogues and new challenges
* New mechanics: Combos and enemies liberate animals (required to unlock portals in story mode)
* Bonus stages
* Credits menu
* Extra music tracks
* Reynold's algorithm for the bird animations
* Dynamic Zoom
* Jigoku mode: A streamlined, high-performance version that stays faithful to the original
* Voice dubs

Mobile features:
* Performance Mode
* Upscaling algorithm
* graphic presets
* Mobile screen layouts and portrait / landscape mode.
* Touch controls, touch gestures, radial and pull menu.

===Performance===
* Performance mode (with auto setup based on detected FPS)
* FPS graph

===Controls===
* Touch controls
* Radial menu
* Top swipe menu (for touch controls)

===Graphics features===
* Normal maps and dynamic lighting

Libregamewiki:Community portal

2026-05-22T03:42:27Z

Modanung: /* Gameinfo: Screenshot over game logo? */ Slight rephrasing

Here is a place to discuss ideas and coordinate improvments to the LibreGameWiki itself.

Please use a number of :-characters at the beginning of your paragraph to indent it. You can sign your edits by using the second but last button in the toolbar.

Feel free to [https://libregamewiki.org/index.php?title=Libregamewiki:Community_portal&action=edit&section=new ask] questions on this page. By the way, do you know the [[Libregamewiki:The classroom|FAQ]] and [[Libregamewiki:Article policy‎|Article policy‎]]?

__NEWSECTIONLINK__

== How do we make it easier for potential contributors to help? ==

How can we make it easier for potential contributors to help? Since the beginning of October account creation works without red tape again. This is a great step forward. Is there anything we can do to further improve the articles explaining how to contribute?
:Well, for once, we might want to fix the following explanation, which I see whenever I try to create a new page, hours after creating my account: "If you just created a new account, please wait a couple of minutes". :)
:[Edit: now I can create the page fine. Thank you.]
:It would be great if you could give a rank to users that contribute to wiki, which would save them from long pending periods. Saying that as an amazingly impatient person. --[[User:Yutyo|Yutyo]] ([[User talk:Yutyo|talk]])

Its been 2 hours for me and i still cant create a page, can someone change that message? -- [[User:Impulse|Impulse]]
:I remember that there is a restriction related to the User page. You need to have one approved edit before you can create it. Maybe this also applies to all pages in general. Since you now have an approved edit, is it now possible for you to create the page you wanted to create? --[[User:Kribbel|Kribbel]] ([[User talk:Kribbel|talk]]) 23:00, 31 October 2023 (CET)

== Main Page ==
I think it may be a good idea to have a little paragraph at the top of the main page which explains what LibreGameWiki is.
:The front page links to [[Libregamewiki]] which is currently outdated, the main page could have a summary with more detail on that page. [[User:Kymara|Kymara]] ([[User talk:Kymara|talk]]) 12:31, 6 October 2012 (CEST)
Shall we have a small "How to contribute?" or "Help wanted" section on the main page which links to the relevant articles? What would it look like?
:Yes. It should link to an updated [[Libregamewiki:Article_policy]] and [[List of games]] [[User:Kymara|Kymara]] ([[User talk:Kymara|talk]]) 12:31, 6 October 2012 (CEST)
: There could also be a portal for this in the side bar. [[User:Kymara|Kymara]] ([[User talk:Kymara|talk]]) 12:47, 6 October 2012 (CEST)

== Which article should be featured next? ==

There is quite a number of very good articles. I think we should change the featured article on the main page more frequently to draw attention to them.

:Yes, I already asked a recent productive user, [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] for his thoughts for the next one. Generally, we should ask the wider community to help choose somehow. [[User:Kymara|Kymara]] ([[User talk:Kymara|talk]]) 12:32, 6 October 2012 (CEST)
::In my opinion we should pick a reasonably good article to feature next, and give it a little special attention. The information in the current feature is already years out of date. I'd suggest the [[Special:LongPages]] list as a good place to start looking. [[FreedroidRPG]] and [[Globulation 2]] are examples which could be easily made into a good feature. Input would be needed from someone who has rights to pick a featured article. [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 14:24, 27 December 2021 (CET)

== Engines for non-free games with no free games using them ==

Hi. Should free remakes of engines for non-free games be accepted as free engines, if they have never been (and not necessarily intended to be) used for a playable free game yet? Examples: [[OpenMW]], [http://www.etlegacy.com/ Enemy Territory: Legacy]. --[[User:AVRS|AVRS]] ([[User talk:AVRS|talk]]) 12:35, 28 November 2012 (CET)
:My two pence: I'd class those as free engines. Their use case is irrelevant, and it could be considered as a matter of timing, for example: a free engine which was created and then later used for a non-free game doesn't make the engine non-free.[[User:Kymara|Kymara]] ([[User talk:Kymara|talk]]) 12:46, 28 November 2012 (CET)
There is already [[OpenMoHAA]], so I guess other non-free game engine recreations are allowed as well. [[User:Matthias|Matthias]] ([[User talk:Matthias|talk]]) 10:56, 26 January 2021 (CET)

I'll let you guys figure out what "should" be done, but I can make the distinction more blurry! :). There *is* a open source game that uses [[OpenMW]] as it's engine. The game is [https://openmw.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/modding/openmw-game-template.html openmw-template] described in [https://openmw.org/faq/#do_i_need_morrowind here] in the faq. However, the game isn't actually *fun* to a point that some people might say it's not actually a game. (However, I don't think the game has to be fun to be listed here) 2023-01-30

== Game articles redirecting to genre list ==

I'm seeing odd behavior. If I try to go to the following articles:

* https://libregamewiki.org/Freedroid_RPG
* https://libregamewiki.org/PARPG

I get redirected to the RPG genre page:

https://libregamewiki.org/Role-playing_games

If I use non-rewrite links, however, they seem to work.

* https://libregamewiki.org/index.php?title=Freedroid_RPG
* https://libregamewiki.org/index.php?title=PARPG

Could there perhaps be an error in the URL rewriting rules?

--[[User:Cov|Cov]] ([[User talk:Cov|talk]]) 22:33, 31 August 2013 (CEST)

: Thank you for the report. I fixed it. --[[User:Hendrik Brummermann|Hendrik Brummermann]] ([[User talk:Hendrik Brummermann|talk]]) 17:04, 8 September 2013 (CEST)

==License Choice==

The CC-BY is a non-copyleft license, and unless I'm mistaken, the GFDL is a copyleft license, which is why CC-BY-SA was chosen for Wikipedia when it dual-licensed to make it compatible with other CC sites. If I'm correct, this wiki is currently under two licenses which contradict each other on the question of copyleft, which is confusing. Why wasn't the CC-BY-SA license chosen for LGW? This would allow relevant to content to be imported from and exported to Wikipedia and other CC-BY-SA sites (with appropriate attribution of course). --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 08:04, 11 January 2014 (CET)

: The CC-BY was chosen to make it easy for third parties to use content from LibreGameWiki. The GFDL was considered non-free by Debian and Debian is quite an authority as the Open Source Definition is based on Debian guidelines. It was kept as alternative to make it easy to copy content from LibreGameWiki to Wikipedia. Wikipedia and the FSF later pulled a stunt of releasing a new version of the GFDL with the Lex Wikipedia clause, allowing Wikipedia to move to a completely different license. LGW content, however, was licensed as GFDL 1.2 without the backdoor "or later".

:: For the record, the change to the GFDL was made to allow Wikipedia (and other multi-collaborator works) to dual-license with CC-BY-SA, which is identical to the GFDL where it counts (eg attribution, copyleft), although it happens to lacks the "invariant sections" and "transparency" terms that made Debian declare the GFDL non-free. Both CC-BY and CC-BY-SA are free culture licenses: http://creativecommons.org/freeworks Practically speaking, the purpose of having a wiki under a license is to inform the user about what they can and can't do with its contents. The GFDL tells the user they must put derivative works under the same license (copyleft), while the CC-BY says they don't. This is confusing. Can I use sections of LGW within an ARR (All-Rights-Reserved) work or not? Is this wiki copyleft, or it isn't? If it is copyleft, shouldn't the CC-BY-SA needs to be used to let the user know that? If it isn't copyleft, shouldn't the GFDL be dropped to make this clear? --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 05:49, 12 January 2014 (CET)

::: It is very simple: If you you contribute to LibreGameWiki, you must license your work as CC-BY und GFDL. If you want to use content from LGW, you can pick the license you want to comply with.

:::: I intended to answer, but I got an edit conflict earlier. Anyway, some points:
::::* Being CC-BY licensed, this wiki's text can be contributed to Wikipedia if properly attributed: see [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_include_a_work_licensed_with_CC_BY_in_a_Wikipedia_article_even_though_they_use_a_CC_BY-SA_license.3F CC FAQ] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Compatible_license#Can_I_add_something_to_Wikipedia_that_I_got_from_somewhere_else.3F Wikipedia copyright FAQ].
::::*Wikipedia is not entirely dual-licensed: all of it is available under CC-BY-SA (except the ''fairly used'' stuff). On the other hand, the GFDL does not necessarily apply to text added after the project voted to use the CC license - you have to check this yourself if you'd like to use a Wikipedia article under the GFDL.

:::::: I'm pretty sure this is incorrect. When I edit Wikipedia it says "By clicking the "Save page" button, you agree to the Terms of Use and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License *and* the GFDL..." (emphasis mine) --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 10:50, 6 November 2015 (CET)

::::*As I recall, Debian only considers the GFDL non-free if there are invariant sections involved, see [http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001 this vote]. What is the problematic "transparency" term?
::::*The lack of a "or later" clause precludes our stuff from being used in the [http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Main_Page Free Software Directory]. This may be a pity, because their goal is rather similar to ours. -- [[User:StevenDH|StevenDH]] ([[User talk:StevenDH|talk]]) 19:40, 12 January 2014 (CET)

:::::: Is the copyright in LGW content owned by the original author(s) or the project? If there was a consensus among all LGW copyright holders, the content could be relicensed under any license they choose. This would not revoke previous licenses on the same content, but would apply to all existing content, and only the new license would apply to new content. As I said initially, I can't see the benefit of using CC-BY for a collaborative reference wiki, and I think CC-BY-SA would be a better choice, as it means any improvements made in derivative works are available to be backported into LGW. --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 10:50, 6 November 2015 (CET)

== Libregamewiki uses an invalid security certificate ==

Hi, I do not know if the Community portal is the right place to report this type of problem. But I have not been able to find any better place.

When connecting to libregamewiki, some web-browsers (Mozilla based: firefox, iceweasel, icecat, seamonkey etc.) displays a warning page stating "This Connection is Untrusted". I have tested this on several computers with several browsers with both GNU/Linux and Windows OS, so it seems to be a problem that applies to everyone that uses these browsers.

The following details are given:

-libregamewiki.org uses an invalid security certificate.

-The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.

-(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

== A few things: Thanks for fighting spam ==
Hopefully the Argentinian/Brazilian wiki spammers have no places left...

I am inquiring about the Public Domain version of Rogue,
and the BSD version of Rogue.

I posess a copy of the Public Domain version of Rogue,
and have screen shots of the screens, which wikisneeripedia
seems not able to read 'Public Domain."

If need be, I can contact either Michael Toy or Glenn Wichman ( who published the sources to the PC Version/Commercial version) about
verifying the public domain version is indeed the public domain version.

== Copying from Wikipedia ==

I note the warning at the bottom of edit pages not to copy from Wikipedia. I'm assuming this is out of date, as Wikipedia is now dual-licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0? If so, it would be good to remove that warning, as there is a lot of useful material about libre games that could be imported to this wiki.

This is particularly important in view of the massive pruning of Wikipedia that appears to be going on, with many articles being deleted on the basis that their subject is not "notable" enough to have a page in an Encyclopedia. This problem has disturbed Wikipedians enough that one (or a group?) has set up the [http://speedydeletion.wikia.com/wiki/Speedy_deletion_Wiki SpeedyDeletion] wiki to rescue pages before they are removed, in case their contents are still of interest to other wikis like this one.
--[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 06:17, 6 October 2015 (CEST)

:Hi there. I'm afraid the warning has to remain as this wiki is cc-by or gfdl and wikipedia is cc-by-sa. (If you combine those cc license, the end result is the stricter of those, i.e. the one used by wikipedia) [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 13:59, 12 October 2015 (CEST)

If content was imported from Wikipedia, it would have to be marked as such, to indicate that it can't not be used under CC-BY. --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 10:40, 6 November 2015 (CET)

== Posting images ==

Hi!
I try to help someone to edit his game's page. Yesterday, his IP was block cause abuse (probably tried to much html lines to make edit as he wanted). I looked all around your site to understand how to post an image through your site, and choose categories for his game, but found nothing about it. Is there somewhere an option to make it directly?
-How upload an image on your site (I think it will be ok to post it on the edit of the game's page, but would be appreciated to have the exact html line to be sure)
-How to add categories for a game.

P.S.: maybe there is an error on the chat... you let us know that we can connect as guest, but all times I tried, this don't work, cause I don't have a nickname.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

== Spam & blocking users/IP ==

On the "Recent changes" page, I see there's a lot of spam-fighting going on. It's good that LGW is being valiantly defended against the incessant spam bots, but I think the Abuse filter is sometimes a little quick to block well meaning users. The anonymous user recently working on the Liberated Pixel Cup page, and two weeks ago even the registered user Lanadapter got on the block list, presumably because they made a series of small edits in a short time. Would it be possible to differentiate a bit better between real editors and spammer, so that we don't turn down actual contributors (while keeping the spam out, of course)? -- [[User:StevenDH|StevenDH]] ([[User talk:StevenDH|talk]]) 15:24, 14 February 2017 (CET)

== Lists and categories ==

Wouldn't be better to direct the reader to categories of games, instead of lists of games by genre, like [[Roguelike games]]? The list can get easily outdated.

== Board games page broken ==

When I'm logged in, I can see an up-to-date version of [[Board games]], but when I'm not logged in, I can only see a very old version from 2013. Could the reason be that this page was protected in 2012? If yes, could you remove the protection or ensure otherwise that the autogeneration by the bot works again and the generated page is visible to all users?

== Version updates from Wikidata? ==

New versions come all the time and it's tedious to update manually. [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page Wikidata] might have many of the items here and could get updated more often than LGW. Their data is in the public domain. Can somebody figure out how to incorporate it automagically?

: [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Notability Wikidata:Notability] requires that a page exists in one of its sister projects and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(video_games) Wikipedia:Notability (video games)] is much stricter than what can be included in Libregamewiki.

:: Wiki page existence is not the only criterion for notability.

Problem: I.e. [[:Category:Pages with reference errors]] (yes red link but still go ahead and click!). Open one of those list articles and scroll down to the bottom of the page where the references are to see the errors with the similarly named references between the included articles.

Solutions?: Perhaps the references could be somehow removed from the genre list articles? Of course the silly solution would be to manually edit the articles to change ref names... but that's a lot of work and not exactly future proof. --[[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 14:19, 25 January 2019 (CET)

== Machine readable dump of wikidata entries metadata ==

For the [https://repology.org Repology] project, I need a complete list of all games with their versions, homepages and preferably other metadata. Among other this this would allow to discover more [https://repology.org/projects/?inrepo=libregamewiki&outdated=1 outdated version information] in LGW and also to link ([https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q214142#P6666 example]) Wikidata entries to LGW.

Currently, Repology parses [[New_games_and_releases]] page, however it does not seem to contain all entries. For instance, [[BZFlag]], [[Colobot]], [[Freeciv]] are missing despide they fulfill the requirements listed at the buttom of New games page.

It would be great if all conforming games would be listed on that page, even better if there's an extra special page which lists all entries with <tt>latest release</tt> defined, probably in more parsing friendly format (e.g., a table, or even better an XML/JSON file).

In the second template all variables defined in the Gameinfo box can be used. Both templates are used on [[List of games]], but you can create your own template. Colobot was on the list.

== Pending review ==

What is the policy on "pending review" edits? I mean, after how many edits is a user free to edit without supervision. Checking your work while you commit it (especially if it is multistaged, as in "add image + add new article") is very useful. [[User:Ffa|Ffa]] ([[User talk:Ffa|talk]]) 09:57, 17 December 2019 (CET)
:I also don't understand why you still think I am a spam bot. Saving an article and not seeing any result is a terrible user experience.

[[User:Matthias|Matthias]] ([[User talk:Matthias|talk]]) 09:43, 16 February 2022 (CET)
::I have been granted rights to edit without review after a significant number of edits. My personal opinion is that LGW would receive better content by following the recommended best practice, which is to have edits automatically accepted as soon as there is enough evidence to see that a user is a real person (or at least a real person making helpful edits). If the user then misbehaves, consequences can be applied. The way it is currently takes a heavy toll on the patience of new users who might give up even before creating an account. This skews the ratio of spammers to users over time, where I have to invoke the law of unintended consequences: It could well be making moderation harder in the long term by making helpful edits a smaller percentage of the total. I don't make the rules; I am merely a guest here. I hope that [[User:Kiba | our gracious host]] would find the suggestion helpful and consider it.

== Free engines with no existing free games ==

Hi, I'd like to ask about this. I see the [[OpenMW]] article was deleted on the basis that it requires the original game files. However my understanding from the article policy is that engines are allowed on Libre Game Wiki even if there are no games for them--and so the question is probably obvious. It is possible to run a total conversion mod on OpenMW with no use of the proprietary data. There are as I understand it some example games in development but nothing concrete. The newer versions of the construction kit can, as I understand it, also create these games standalone without any use of the proprietary Bethesda software. Would it not be appropriate to create an article on the engine? [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 18:54, 8 December 2020 (CET)
:I should add just in case: Yes, there is discussion on OpenMW higher up on the page but it mostly doesn't apply here because that was before the page was deleted and OpenMW has changed considerably.

== Moderation policy ==

Anyone care to explain the moderation policy? Normal recommended practice for mediawiki is to not send every edit from users known to be real people for moderation. I can understand if that is necessary on LGW due to high spam levels. If edits that I made just sit there and don't appear, while edits from other users continue to show up approved day by day, I have no way of knowing if something is wrong. There's no log, no queue visible to me, no rejection notice, nothing. [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 16:32, 27 December 2020 (CET)

::Thank you, that helped. It may have been due to my recording a large number of very similar small edits adding repository info to pages, perhaps it was even automatic (due to the same edit summary). This thing with the old contributions is a little bit of a mess since now when I edit a page it remembers my version which isn't up to date (e.g. when making this edit I have to manually add your and another comment back in). But it is workable. I hope I don't accidentally delete someone's edit at some point in future by forgetting/negligence.

== Distro logos ==

Hi, I thought it good that we should add FreeBSD to the list of platforms. The FreeBSD logo is, however, a bit of a grey area w.r.t. the media policy on LGW. (To an extent so are the other distro logos because they are trademarks.) On Wikipedia, for example we see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Freebsd_logo.svg here] that the copyright and trademark issues restrict it to fair usage based on the necessity of using the trademark as a trademark. What's the attitude over here? Do we upload an SVG of the logo and mark it as not under the same licence as the rest of LGW? Do we just leave it blank?

== Game only shows up in category page when logged in ==

Hi, I created a page for my game Super Bombinhas about a month ago and it is marked as Platform game. When I visit the "Platform Games" page anonymously, my game doesn't show up. However, when I access it logged in , the game does show up. The game page itself appears normally for anonyous users. Can someone help? Thanks.

==Games without fixed releases==
I've been wondering how to deal with games such as Space Nerds in Space, which deserves an entry but has no official release numbers anywhere that I can find. In other words it's just a repository and basically works by rolling release. Any ideas? [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 18:18, 30 May 2021 (CEST)
: Not really an answer to your question, but still...<br>There's a new page for [[The night wolves attacked the mountain village of Venzone]], where no "latest release" is filled into the Gameinfo template. That seems to work, but it renders the release date inside a <nowiki><pre></nowiki> in the overview of recent releases. -- 16:58, 17 August 2021 (CEST)

==Game info template==
Does anyone understand why [[:Template:Gameinfo]] will properly display the homepage link for some games but not others? "|link homepage(some spaces)=" works in e.g. [[Naev]] but does not work for most of the new games we add. I've noticed that the template is sensitive to plural vs. singular (e.g. "|platform =" must be one and "|platforms =" for multiple) and we have a lot of pages to clean up in that respect. Homepage, on the other hand, I don't understand. The template code looks normal though I'm not that good at mediawiki—just can't get it working.

== Adopt F-Droid's system of tagging anti-features ==

I am proposing to adopt F-Droid's system of tagging anti-features https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Anti-Features

Through the years I have witnessed a disturbing trend of developer-developer, developer-user and user-user communication in libre games leaving libre services for proprietary ones. These services are mostly GitHub and Discord.

Examples of tags would be

* "promotes non-free network services" when the game includes links to Github/Discord on their homepage and/or in the game itself.
* "promotes non-free addons" when the game integrates with Discord/Steam.
-- [[User:ThinkSome|ThinkSome]] 8 February 2022‎

: SourceForge is also non-free, same as BitBucket. Launchpad isn't and itch.io the server also isn't Open Source. Of course, Twitter is non-free. You might as well tag every game on here because they link something that is not a libre web service. I think "promotes" is also a weak argument. If the feature is optional or can even be completely turned off by not compiling against libdiscord-rpc how is that an anti-feature? It doesn't restrict anybody. It is a feature for players, but definitely not an anti-feature like ads or microtransactions. [[User:Matthias|Matthias]] ([[User talk:Matthias|talk]]) 12:23, 20 February 2022 (CET)

:: To use an example from that linked FDroid page, "Tracking - tracks and/or reports your activity to somewhere, even when it can be turned off" -- so being optional or not is less the point than that the user may end up restricting their freedom without intending to. That said, I am in favour of such labelling but only if presented in an informational, non-hostile manner. I agree that purity politics beyond the basic Four Freedoms is beside the point of the wiki, but I also think it's something (potential) players would be interested in knowing. For instance, ThinkSome mentioned Discord; perhaps there could be a standard 'social' article section or infobox to articles listing places to chat, LFG, or otherwise hang out with other players/devs (right now this sort of info is under the Development section of [[template:gameinfo]]), and nonfree venues are marked with a warning sign that has an explanation on hover/click. This way it doesn't seem like a contextless statement. [[User:Arlo James Barnes|Arlo James Barnes]] ([[User talk:Arlo James Barnes|talk]]) 08:42, 24 March 2022 (CET)

== License of images / screenshots ==

According to [[Libregamewiki:The_classroom#Images|Classroom]] and [[Libregamewiki:Article_policy#Image_uploads|Article policy]] I have to put images I upload under a free license. Are these (suggested) pretty hidden rules added by [[Libregamewiki_talk:Article_policy#About_free_screenshots|Driss 21:29, 26 January 2008]] valid? Do the licenses of elements in the screenshot influence what license I'm allowed to choose? How do I decide about the license of an image or screenshot I made of a game? [[User:Kribbel|Kribbel]] ([[User talk:Kribbel|talk]]) 13:22, 19 November 2022 (CET)
:To a first approximation, yes. Screenshot guidelines for LGW already specify that we should show only the game itself and not include window borders, which takes care of the skin problem for games I can think of. There should rarely (never?) be any reason for the screenshot to include anything which isn't displayed as part of the game per se, which means everything would have to be free since game assets have to be free per LGW policy.
:An image of artwork is a derivative work of said artwork. Hence any screenshot or video of a game is at least to an extent a derivative work of the game assets displayed. Note that even text games would qualify—assuming the text is long enough to be copyrightable. There's a little bit of leeway where you might have to claim fair use. E.g. if a game contains two textures of which one is CC-BY-SA 3.0 and the other GPLv2, both are free but not compatible. The screenshot containing both is a hornets' nest, since it is a derivative of two works under incompatible licenses. Here I'd blame nobody claiming an exception under fair use (US law, no impact on value and for education and review purposes) but perhaps our host might disagree.
:In my uploads I simply state that the assets displayed have their licences as indicated in the game repository and don't claim rights for the screenshot. The composition normally also confers copyright, but then the licence I chose would have to be compatible with the asset licence(s) so Public Domain removes a headache.

:::Probably [[Adventure]]. It's one of the very first computer games (sometimes falsely called first) but in those days they were often copied around without any licence, which generally disqualifies games for LGW. Eric Raymond managed to get a licence for the 1995 version which makes it a very early game on here—if we consider the early versions which date even from the mid-70's. The version which was already being marketed as the "original" by 1981 was being copied around [https://rickadams.org/adventure/a_history.html since 1976].

== Automatic &action=purge for important lists ==

IMHO the section Recently released games on the [[Main_Page|main page]] (info probably connected to [[New_games_and_releases]]) and the [[Template:Genre_menu|Genre menu]] at the top of most pages are probably the main ways people explore Libregamewiki and use to access articles.
Sadly from my observations those lists don't update automatically. One has to purge the lists manually. And additionally the lists to purge are different for logged in users and not logged in users (Different storage areas / caches?). This means when one purges the list when logged in, it only updates for logged in users. For those not logged in it stays not updated. This is especially problematic because most visitors of LibreGameWiki will certainly access the lists not logged in because they even don't own an account. For example the list [[Board games]] which I probably purged after making changes to OpenKropki on 2022-11-11 by adding categories.
<gallery caption="Differences when logged in and not on 2022-12-06">
File:Board_games_2022-12-06_logged_in.png |Everything looks fine at the bottom of the list Board games when logged in.
File:Board_games_2022-12-06_not_logged_in.png |All the old errors caused by references not using unique names are still visible when not logged in.
File:Board_games__2022-12-06_logged_in_2.png |Pentobi has the release date 2022-01-21 and OpenKropki 2020-11-19 when logged in.
File:Board_games_2022-12-06_not_logged_in_2.png |Pentobi has the release date 2021-12-05 and OpenKropki isn't even there when not logged in.
</gallery>
I therefore think that LibreGameWiki would benefit from a '''little program that regularly purges''' those '''lists automatically for logged in and not logged in users'''. The section Recently released games or respectively the list [[New_games_and_releases|New games and releases]] should be purged at least daily while for the (other) lists in Genre menu a longer period would be sufficient, a week, a fortnight or maybe even a month.

== Genre lists ==

The way the games are organized in the genre lists is unsatisfying.

For example roguelikes in adventures. Or where to put the pet breeding games?

And the "More" menu contains nothing (you get only results when clicking on it).

== Gameinfo: Screenshot over game logo? ==

What should the "image" field in the "[[Template:Gameinfo]]" be interpreted as?
Should screenshots be the "preferred default"? Can other images (like promo art) be used and if yes, when?
I believe picking a screenshot by default (which is true for most games atm) makes sense for consistency. A different image should IMHO only be chosen when no good screenshot exists (yet). It is weird when the game overview page is a weird mix of game logos and screenshots because contributors cannot agree on what type of image to put there.
[[User:Modanung]] recently reverted my edit on [[Tux!]] to replace the game logo with a real screenshot.
The reason for my opinion is because picking a screenshot instead of logo, "box art" or any other "promo" art is that it is more "neutral", and this is how most pages are treated anyway. Your thoughts? --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 22:58, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
:I think (immediate) consistency is not an argument here, as it would prevent applying any (change in the) convention, unless it were to be immediately applied to half of the almost 700 games on LGW. For reference, I just had a look at several Wikipedia pages about games and other software. There, software infoboxes have both the logo (at the top) with a screenshot below it, whereas game infoboxes show ''only'' cover art, without a screenshot. The first image is shown in page previews, and I would argue that what we have in the list of recently released games is the closest thing to page previews on LGW. Maybe it would be nice to have a pop-up when hovering, for pages where a screenshot gallery is detected and show screenshot thumbnails in there? This would provide the best of both worlds, and make a whole range of screenshots readily available, with the main page being more like search results on itch.

== Engines for non-free games with no free games using them ==

Hi. Should free remakes of engines for non-free games be accepted as free engines, if they have never been (and not necessarily intended to be) used for a playable free game yet? Examples: [[OpenMW]], [http://www.etlegacy.com/ Enemy Territory: Legacy]. --[[User:AVRS|AVRS]] ([[User talk:AVRS|talk]]) 12:35, 28 November 2012 (CET)
:My two pence: I'd class those as free engines. Their use case is irrelevant, and it could be considered as a matter of timing, for example: a free engine which was created and then later used for a non-free game doesn't make the engine non-free.[[User:Kymara|Kymara]] ([[User talk:Kymara|talk]]) 12:46, 28 November 2012 (CET)
There is already [[OpenMoHAA]], so I guess other non-free game engine recreations are allowed as well. [[User:Matthias|Matthias]] ([[User talk:Matthias|talk]]) 10:56, 26 January 2021 (CET)

I'll let you guys figure out what "should" be done, but I can make the distinction more blurry! :). There *is* a open source game that uses [[OpenMW]] as it's engine. The game is [https://openmw.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/modding/openmw-game-template.html openmw-template] described in [https://openmw.org/faq/#do_i_need_morrowind here] in the faq.

If I use non-rewrite links, however, they seem to work.

* https://libregamewiki.org/index.php?title=Freedroid_RPG
* https://libregamewiki.org/index.php?title=PARPG

Could there perhaps be an error in the URL rewriting rules?

==License Choice==

The CC-BY is a non-copyleft license, and unless I'm mistaken, the GFDL is a copyleft license, which is why CC-BY-SA was chosen for Wikipedia when it dual-licensed to make it compatible with other CC sites. If I'm correct, this wiki is currently under two licenses which contradict each other on the question of copyleft, which is confusing. Why wasn't the CC-BY-SA license chosen for LGW? This would allow relevant to content to be imported from and exported to Wikipedia and other CC-BY-SA sites (with appropriate attribution of course). --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 08:04, 11 January 2014 (CET)

: The CC-BY was chosen to make it easy for third parties to use content from LibreGameWiki. The GFDL was considered non-free by Debian and Debian is quite an authority as the Open Source Definition is based on Debian guidelines. It was kept as alternative to make it easy to copy content from LibreGameWiki to Wikipedia. Wikipedia and the FSF later pulled a stunt of releasing a new version of the GFDL with the Lex Wikipedia clause, allowing Wikipedia to move to a completely different license. LGW content, however, was licensed as GFDL 1.2 without the backdoor "or later". And personally, after this stunt, I don't think "or later" is a good idea at all. --[[User:Gamfan|Gamfan]] ([[User talk:Gamfan|talk]]) 08:16, 11 January 2014 (CET)

:: For the record, the change to the GFDL was made to allow Wikipedia (and other multi-collaborator works) to dual-license with CC-BY-SA, which is identical to the GFDL where it counts (eg attribution, copyleft), although it happens to lacks the "invariant sections" and "transparency" terms that made Debian declare the GFDL non-free. Both CC-BY and CC-BY-SA are free culture licenses: http://creativecommons.org/freeworks Practically speaking, the purpose of having a wiki under a license is to inform the user about what they can and can't do with its contents. The GFDL tells the user they must put derivative works under the same license (copyleft), while the CC-BY says they don't. This is confusing. Can I use sections of LGW within an ARR (All-Rights-Reserved) work or not? Is this wiki copyleft, or it isn't? If it is copyleft, shouldn't the CC-BY-SA needs to be used to let the user know that? If it isn't copyleft, shouldn't the GFDL be dropped to make this clear? --[[User:Strypey|Strypey]] ([[User talk:Strypey|talk]]) 05:49, 12 January 2014 (CET)

::: It is very simple: If you you contribute to LibreGameWiki, you must license your work as CC-BY und GFDL. If you want to use content from LGW, you can pick the license you want to comply with. Please keep in mind that copyleft is only one of the difference between the licenses (please read the full text of both licenses to learn about other demands required by each of the licenses). --[[User:Gamfan|Gamfan]] ([[User talk:Gamfan|talk]]) 13:21, 12 January 2014 (CET)

:::: I intended to answer, but I got an edit conflict earlier. Anyway, some points:
::::* Being CC-BY licensed, this wiki's text can be contributed to Wikipedia if properly attributed: see [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_include_a_work_licensed_with_CC_BY_in_a_Wikipedia_article_even_though_they_use_a_CC_BY-SA_license.3F CC FAQ] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Compatible_license#Can_I_add_something_to_Wikipedia_that_I_got_from_somewhere_else.3F Wikipedia copyright FAQ].
::::*Wikipedia is not entirely dual-licensed: all of it is available under CC-BY-SA (except the ''fairly used'' stuff). On the other hand, the GFDL does not necessarily apply to text added after the project voted to use the CC license - you have to check this yourself if you'd like to use a Wikipedia article under the GFDL.

:::::: I'm pretty sure this is incorrect.

== Libregamewiki uses an invalid security certificate ==

Hi, I do not know if the Community portal is the right place to report this type of problem. But I have not been able to find any better place.

When connecting to libregamewiki, some web-browsers (Mozilla based: firefox, iceweasel, icecat, seamonkey etc.) displays a warning page stating "This Connection is Untrusted". I have tested this on several computers with several browsers with both GNU/Linux and Windows OS, so it seems to be a problem that applies to everyone that uses these browsers.

The following details are given:

-libregamewiki.org uses an invalid security certificate.

-The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.

-(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

== A few things: Thanks for fighting spam ==
Hopefully the Argentinian/Brazilian wiki spammers have no places left...

I am inquiring about the Public Domain version of Rogue,
and the BSD version of Rogue.

I posess a copy of the Public Domain version of Rogue,
and have screen shots of the screens, which wikisneeripedia
seems not able to read 'Public Domain."

If need be, I can contact either Michael Toy or Glenn Wichman ( who published the sources to the PC Version/Commercial version) about
verifying the public domain version is indeed the public domain version.

== Copying from Wikipedia ==

I note the warning at the bottom of edit pages not to copy from Wikipedia. I'm assuming this is out of date, as Wikipedia is now dual-licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0? If so, it would be good to remove that warning, as there is a lot of useful material about libre games that could be imported to this wiki.

This is particularly important in view of the massive pruning of Wikipedia that appears to be going on, with many articles being deleted on the basis that their subject is not "notable" enough to have a page in an Encyclopedia. This problem has disturbed Wikipedians enough that one (or a group?) has set up the [http://speedydeletion.wikia.com/wiki/Speedy_deletion_Wiki SpeedyDeletion] wiki to rescue pages before they are removed, in case their contents are still of interest to other wikis like this one.

== Posting images ==

Hi!
I try to help someone to edit his game's page. Yesterday, his IP was block cause abuse (probably tried to much html lines to make edit as he wanted). I looked all around your site to understand how to post an image through your site, and choose categories for his game, but found nothing about it. Is there somewhere an option to make it directly?
-How upload an image on your site (I think it will be ok to post it on the edit of the game's page, but would be appreciated to have the exact html line to be sure)
-How to add categories for a game.

P.S.: maybe there is an error on the chat... you let us know that we can connect as guest, but all times I tried, this don't work, cause I don't have a nickname.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

== Spam & blocking users/IP ==

On the "Recent changes" page, I see there's a lot of spam-fighting going on. It's good that LGW is being valiantly defended against the incessant spam bots, but I think the Abuse filter is sometimes a little quick to block well meaning users. The anonymous user recently working on the Liberated Pixel Cup page, and two weeks ago even the registered user Lanadapter got on the block list, presumably because they made a series of small edits in a short time. Would it be possible to differentiate a bit better between real editors and spammer, so that we don't turn down actual contributors (while keeping the spam out, of course)? -- [[User:StevenDH|StevenDH]] ([[User talk:StevenDH|talk]]) 15:24, 14 February 2017 (CET)

== Lists and categories ==

Wouldn't be better to direct the reader to categories of games, instead of lists of games by genre, like [[Roguelike games]]? The list can get easily outdated.

== Board games page broken ==

When I'm logged in, I can see an up-to-date version of [[Board games]], but when I'm not logged in, I can only see a very old version from 2013. Could the reason be that this page was protected in 2012? If yes, could you remove the protection or ensure otherwise that the autogeneration by the bot works again and the generated page is visible to all users?

== Version updates from Wikidata? ==

New versions come all the time and it's tedious to update manually. [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page Wikidata] might have many of the items here and could get updated more often than LGW. Their data is in the public domain. Can somebody figure out how to incorporate it automagically? That would help keeping up to date also the recent releases box on the front page of LGW. --[[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 11:51, 22 January 2019 (CET)
: [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Notability Wikidata:Notability] requires that a page exists in one of its sister projects and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(video_games) Wikipedia:Notability (video games)] is much stricter than what can be included in Libregamewiki.

:: Wiki page existence is not the only criterion for notability.

== Duplicated reference names break genre pages ==

Problem: I.e. [[:Category:Pages with reference errors]] (yes red link but still go ahead and click!). Open one of those list articles and scroll down to the bottom of the page where the references are to see the errors with the similarly named references between the included articles.

Solutions?: Perhaps the references could be somehow removed from the genre list articles? Of course the silly solution would be to manually edit the articles to change ref names... but that's a lot of work and not exactly future proof. --[[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 14:19, 25 January 2019 (CET)

== Machine readable dump of wikidata entries metadata ==

For the [https://repology.org Repology] project, I need a complete list of all games with their versions, homepages and preferably other metadata. Among other this this would allow to discover more [https://repology.org/projects/?inrepo=libregamewiki&outdated=1 outdated version information] in LGW and also to link ([https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q214142#P6666 example]) Wikidata entries to LGW.

Currently, Repology parses [[New_games_and_releases]] page, however it does not seem to contain all entries. For instance, [[BZFlag]], [[Colobot]], [[Freeciv]] are missing despide they fulfill the requirements listed at the buttom of New games page.

It would be great if all conforming games would be listed on that page, even better if there's an extra special page which lists all entries with <tt>latest release</tt> defined, probably in more parsing friendly format (e.g., a table, or even better an XML/JSON file).

In the second template all variables defined in the Gameinfo box can be used. Both templates are used on [[List of games]], but you can create your own template. Colobot was on the list.

== Pending review ==

What is the policy on "pending review" edits? I mean, after how many edits is a user free to edit without supervision. Checking your work while you commit it (especially if it is multistaged, as in "add image + add new article") is very useful. [[User:Ffa|Ffa]] ([[User talk:Ffa|talk]]) 09:57, 17 December 2019 (CET)
:I also don't understand why you still think I am a spam bot. Saving an article and not seeing any result is a terrible user experience. Another problem: this creates broken links because the articles get aggregated on the front page, but both image and article are unavailable. [[User:Matthias|Matthias]] ([[User talk:Matthias|talk]]) 09:43, 16 February 2022 (CET)
::I have been granted rights to edit without review after a significant number of edits. My personal opinion is that LGW would receive better content by following the recommended best practice, which is to have edits automatically accepted as soon as there is enough evidence to see that a user is a real person (or at least a real person making helpful edits). If the user then misbehaves, consequences can be applied. The way it is currently takes a heavy toll on the patience of new users who might give up even before creating an account. This skews the ratio of spammers to users over time, where I have to invoke the law of unintended consequences: It could well be making moderation harder in the long term by making helpful edits a smaller percentage of the total.

== Free engines with no existing free games ==

Hi, I'd like to ask about this. I see the [[OpenMW]] article was deleted on the basis that it requires the original game files. However my understanding from the article policy is that engines are allowed on Libre Game Wiki even if there are no games for them--and so the question is probably obvious. It is possible to run a total conversion mod on OpenMW with no use of the proprietary data. There are as I understand it some example games in development but nothing concrete. The newer versions of the construction kit can, as I understand it, also create these games standalone without any use of the proprietary Bethesda software. Would it not be appropriate to create an article on the engine? [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 18:54, 8 December 2020 (CET)
:I should add just in case: Yes, there is discussion on OpenMW higher up on the page but it mostly doesn't apply here because that was before the page was deleted and OpenMW has changed considerably.

== Moderation policy ==

Anyone care to explain the moderation policy? Normal recommended practice for mediawiki is to not send every edit from users known to be real people for moderation. I can understand if that is necessary on LGW due to high spam levels. If edits that I made just sit there and don't appear, while edits from other users continue to show up approved day by day, I have no way of knowing if something is wrong. There's no log, no queue visible to me, no rejection notice, nothing. [[User:FacelessLinuxUser|FacelessLinuxUser]] ([[User talk:FacelessLinuxUser|talk]]) 16:32, 27 December 2020 (CET)

::Thank you, that helped. It may have been due to my recording a large number of very similar small edits adding repository info to pages, perhaps it was even automatic (due to the same edit summary). This thing with the old contributions is a little bit of a mess since now when I edit a page it remembers my version which isn't up to date (e.g. when making this edit I have to manually add your and another comment back in). But it is workable. I hope I don't accidentally delete someone's edit at some point in future by forgetting/negligence.

Hi, I thought it good that we should add FreeBSD to the list of platforms. The FreeBSD logo is, however, a bit of a grey area w.r.t. the media policy on LGW. (To an extent so are the other distro logos because they are trademarks.) On Wikipedia, for example we see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Freebsd_logo.svg here] that the copyright and trademark issues restrict it to fair usage based on the necessity of using the trademark as a trademark. What's the attitude over here? Do we upload an SVG of the logo and mark it as not under the same licence as the rest of LGW? Do we just leave it blank?

== Adopt F-Droid's system of tagging anti-features ==

I am proposing to adopt F-Droid's system of tagging anti-features https://f-droid.org/en/docs/Anti-Features

Through the years I have witnessed a disturbing trend of developer-developer, developer-user and user-user communication in libre games leaving libre services for proprietary ones. These services are mostly GitHub and Discord.

Examples of tags would be

* "promotes non-free network services" when the game includes links to Github/Discord on their homepage and/or in the game itself.
* "promotes non-free addons" when the game integrates with Discord/Steam.
-- [[User:ThinkSome|ThinkSome]] 8 February 2022‎

: SourceForge is also non-free, same as BitBucket. Launchpad isn't and itch.io the server also isn't Open Source. Of course, Twitter is non-free. You might as well tag every game on here because they link something that is not a libre web service. I think "promotes" is also a weak argument. If the feature is optional or can even be completely turned off by not compiling against libdiscord-rpc how is that an anti-feature? It doesn't restrict anybody. It is a feature for players, but definitely not an anti-feature like ads or microtransactions. [[User:Matthias|Matthias]] ([[User talk:Matthias|talk]]) 12:23, 20 February 2022 (CET)

:: To use an example from that linked FDroid page, "Tracking - tracks and/or reports your activity to somewhere, even when it can be turned off" -- so being optional or not is less the point than that the user may end up restricting their freedom without intending to. That said, I am in favour of such labelling but only if presented in an informational, non-hostile manner. I agree that purity politics beyond the basic Four Freedoms is beside the point of the wiki, but I also think it's something (potential) players would be interested in knowing. For instance, ThinkSome mentioned Discord; perhaps there could be a standard 'social' article section or infobox to articles listing places to chat, LFG, or otherwise hang out with other players/devs (right now this sort of info is under the Development section of [[template:gameinfo]]), and nonfree venues are marked with a warning sign that has an explanation on hover/click. This way it doesn't seem like a contextless statement. [[User:Arlo James Barnes|Arlo James Barnes]] ([[User talk:Arlo James Barnes|talk]]) 08:42, 24 March 2022 (CET)

: I agree, also, that will tag libregamewiki as recommending freegamedev which contains google analytics. Id really like them to remove google analytics for me to use them.. [[Special:Contributions/94.187.228.231|94.187.228.231]] 16:08, 4 April 2022 (CEST)

== Double Damnation ==

Unfortunately this game [https://github.com/TheYellowArchitect/doubledamnation#asset-license uses non-free assets] and is therefore not acceptable, unless there is a stripped version available. --[[User:Hendrik Brummermann|Hendrik Brummermann]] ([[User talk:Hendrik Brummermann|talk]]) 08:09, 2 September 2022 (CEST)

== License of images / screenshots ==

According to [[Libregamewiki:The_classroom#Images|Classroom]] and [[Libregamewiki:Article_policy#Image_uploads|Article policy]] I have to put images I upload under a free license. Are these (suggested) pretty hidden rules added by [[Libregamewiki_talk:Article_policy#About_free_screenshots|Driss 21:29, 26 January 2008]] valid? Do the licenses of elements in the screenshot influence what license I'm allowed to choose? How do I decide about the license of an image or screenshot I made of a game? [[User:Kribbel|Kribbel]] ([[User talk:Kribbel|talk]]) 13:22, 19 November 2022 (CET)
:To a first approximation, yes. Screenshot guidelines for LGW already specify that we should show only the game itself and not include window borders, which takes care of the skin problem for games I can think of. There should rarely (never?) be any reason for the screenshot to include anything which isn't displayed as part of the game per se, which means everything would have to be free since game assets have to be free per LGW policy.
:An image of artwork is a derivative work of said artwork. Hence any screenshot or video of a game is at least to an extent a derivative work of the game assets displayed. Note that even text games would qualify—assuming the text is long enough to be copyrightable. There's a little bit of leeway where you might have to claim fair use. E.g. if a game contains two textures of which one is CC-BY-SA 3.0 and the other GPLv2, both are free but not compatible. The screenshot containing both is a hornets' nest, since it is a derivative of two works under incompatible licenses. Here I'd blame nobody claiming an exception under fair use (US law, no impact on value and for education and review purposes) but perhaps our host might disagree.
:In my uploads I simply state that the assets displayed have their licences as indicated in the game repository and don't claim rights for the screenshot. The composition normally also confers copyright, but then the licence I chose would have to be compatible with the asset licence(s) so Public Domain removes a headache.

::: I somehow doubt that this question can be answered with the information on this wiki. Alone for the reason that not necessarily all releases of a game are or were written down. For some games there are pages with [https://libregamewiki.org/Category:Release_history release history], for some the release history is in the game article, and for some (probably the most) there simply isn't one, because only the last release has been deemed interesting. And even if there would be, the information would have to be somehow gathered and compared. But maybe someone is able to surprise both of us with an answer.

:::Probably [[Adventure]]. It's one of the very first computer games (sometimes falsely called first) but in those days they were often copied around without any licence, which generally disqualifies games for LGW. Eric Raymond managed to get a licence for the 1995 version which makes it a very early game on here—if we consider the early versions which date even from the mid-70's. The version which was already being marketed as the "original" by 1981 was being copied around [https://rickadams.org/adventure/a_history.html since 1976].

== Automatic &action=purge for important lists ==

IMHO the section Recently released games on the [[Main_Page|main page]] (info probably connected to [[New_games_and_releases]]) and the [[Template:Genre_menu|Genre menu]] at the top of most pages are probably the main ways people explore Libregamewiki and use to access articles.
Sadly from my observations those lists don't update automatically. One has to purge the lists manually. And additionally the lists to purge are different for logged in users and not logged in users (Different storage areas / caches?). This means when one purges the list when logged in, it only updates for logged in users. For those not logged in it stays not updated. This is especially problematic because most visitors of LibreGameWiki will certainly access the lists not logged in because they even don't own an account. For example the list [[Board games]] which I probably purged after making changes to OpenKropki on 2022-11-11 by adding categories.
<gallery caption="Differences when logged in and not on 2022-12-06">
File:Board_games_2022-12-06_logged_in.png |Everything looks fine at the bottom of the list Board games when logged in.
File:Board_games_2022-12-06_not_logged_in.png |All the old errors caused by references not using unique names are still visible when not logged in.
File:Board_games__2022-12-06_logged_in_2.png |Pentobi has the release date 2022-01-21 and OpenKropki 2020-11-19 when logged in.
File:Board_games_2022-12-06_not_logged_in_2.png |Pentobi has the release date 2021-12-05 and OpenKropki isn't even there when not logged in.
</gallery>
I therefore think that LibreGameWiki would benefit from a '''little program that regularly purges''' those '''lists automatically for logged in and not logged in users'''. The section Recently released games or respectively the list [[New_games_and_releases|New games and releases]] should be purged at least daily while for the (other) lists in Genre menu a longer period would be sufficient, a week, a fortnight or maybe even a month.

::Leaving the lists aside for now because Hendrik Brummermann didn't mention them and [[List of games]] also, because I didn't check it. The [[Main Page]] and [[New games and releases]] seem to work pretty fine for logged in users. But when not logged in/visiting as a guest they don't seem to.

== Genre lists ==

The way the games are organized in the genre lists is unsatisfying.

For example roguelikes in adventures. Or where to put the pet breeding games?

And the "More" menu contains nothing (you get only results when clicking on it).

== Gameinfo: Screenshot over game logo? ==

What should the "image" field in the "[[Template:Gameinfo]]" be interpreted as?
Should screenshots be the "preferred default"? Can other images (like promo art) be used and if yes, when?
I believe picking a screenshot by default (which is true for most games atm) makes sense for consistency. A different image should IMHO only be chosen when no good screenshot exists (yet). It is weird when the game overview page is a weird mix of game logos and screenshots because contributors cannot agree on what type of image to put there.
[[User:Modanung]] recently reverted my edit on [[Tux!]] to replace the game logo with a real screenshot.
The reason for my opinion is because picking a screenshot instead of logo, "box art" or any other "promo" art is that it is more "neutral", and this is how most pages are treated anyway. Your thoughts? --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 22:58, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
:I think (immediate) consistency is not an argument here, as it would prevent applying any (change in the) convention, unless it were to be immediately applied to half of the almost 700 games on LGW. For reference, I just had a look at several Wikipedia pages about games and other software. There, software infoboxes have both the logo (at the top) with a screenshot below it, whereas game infoboxes show ''only'' cover art, without a screenshot. The first image is shown in page previews, and I would argue that what we have in the list of recently released games is the closest thing to page previews on LGW. Maybe it would be nice to have a pop-up when hovering, for pages where a screenshot gallery is detected and show screenshot thumbnails in there? This would provide the best of both worlds, make them more readily available, with the main page being more like search results on itch.

'''Blip 'n Blup''' is a 3D platform game made by [[LucKey Productions]] using [[Dry]] and other open source software.

Binaries and source code are available through [https://gitlab.com/LucKeyProductions/Games/BlipNBlup GitLab]. Levels are made using [[Edddy]].

==Story==
The ocean isn't the place it used to be; trash, filthy water, little food. Then one stormy morning, a shipping container comes crashing down, destroying the home of Blip and Blup, while they narrowly avoid being crushed. The container turns out to be full of old shoes, and they decide to put on a pair and head for the surface. But they are tailed by Sa'Tong the electric snake eel, who - under threat of devouring the two fish - puts them to work to find him food using their bubble blowing ability.

==Objective==
===Story Mode===
Catch all the food in each level to keep Sa'Tong sufficiently satiated.

===Arcade===
====Capture the Bug====
Catch the other team's bug and feed it to your Sa'Tong.

====Soccer====
A casual game of soccer.

====Collector====
Complete your bug collection before the other team does.

====Survival====
Same as in story mode, but with teams.

Modanung: /* Breaking convention */

Just letting you know that the [[Template:Repositories#Parameters|repositories template]] is equipped with an ''ArchExtra'' parameter. Already fixed it for [[Luanti]]. [[User:Modanung|Modanung]] ([[User talk:Modanung|talk]]) 18:55, 15 February 2025 (CET)

== Breaking convention ==

Nowhere does it say "screenshot" in the Gameinfo template. Just because hardly anyone else takes the effort of providing a splash screen, logo or box art doesn't mean it makes sense to put a screenshot there. To see a larger version of the image, you have to first click through to the game's page anyway. Furthermore, when you make it a screenshot and a page has more of those, that puts screenshots in multiple places. Please don't block conscious efforts of breaking a bad habit out of conformity. Thank you. [[User:Modanung|Modanung]] ([[User talk:Modanung|talk]]) 12:51, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
:You’re wrong tho. It actually ''does'' say "screenshot" on [[Template:Gameinfo]]: "image: An image of the game, preferably a screenshot". Before I risk an edit war, I am going to escalate this debate to [[Libregamewiki:Community portal]]. --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 22:48, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
:I’m very sorry, I just remembered that it was me who wrote that definition ages ago. My memory really is horrible sometimes. Anyway, I just posted something on the Community portal: [[Libregamewiki:Community_portal#Gameinfo:_Screenshot_over_game_logo?]] --[[User:Wuzzy|Wuzzy]] ([[User talk:Wuzzy|talk]]) 22:58, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
::My apologies, I was a little grumpy. Also, I hadn't even looked at the template page; just the field names. [[User:Modanung|Modanung]] ([[User talk:Modanung|talk]]) 02:44, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

==Objective==

Fly the Klå Mk.10 and avoid 'n destroy Notyous while collecting pickups.

All edges of the hexagonal arena are connected to its opposite like portals, making for a puzzlingly dangerous playing field that might take some experience to wrap your head around. The goal is to survive as long as possible or to eject back to the lobby when the chaos becomes insurfable. In this manner an immense score can be accumulated. If your score surpasses the highest, "uploading" your pilot will put him or her on a pedestal as long as this new highest score remains unbeaten.

: '''WARNING:''' The aforementioned uploading process could be described as gory. Avoid activating the splatterpillar in the vicinity of weak stomachs.

== Summarization and broken links ==

Hey Martin, maybe you're new to collaborating, but could you ''please fill out the summary field when editing?'' Also, did you use AI to make these edits? Every external link I tried seems broken with faulty markup to boot. You seem to have skipped previewing entirely. This is not a contribution, it's a mess dumped onto the lap of moderators. I have therefor decided to reject ''all'' your edits, and trust you won't mind as it seems zero effort went into them. You're more than welcome to try again. Kind regards. [[User:Modanung|Modanung]] ([[User talk:Modanung|talk]]) 09:17, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

:Hello. Thanks for writing me back, I was trying to contact someone. Yes, I had been using some AI to assist me with some games the wiki are missing. The issue that I have, is that with the moderation control makes me hard to see the final product on the wiki until it get approved.

Modanung: Rejected Angband

== Summarization and broken links ==

Hey Martin, maybe you're new to collaborating, but could you ''please fill out the summary field when editing?'' Also, did you use AI to make these edits? Every external link I tried seems broken with faulty markup to boot. You seem to have skipped previewing entirely. This is not a contribution, it's a mess dumped onto the lap of moderators. I have therefor decided to reject ''all'' your edits, and trust you won't mind as it seems zero effort went into them. You're more than welcome to try again. Kind regards. [[User:Modanung|Modanung]] ([[User talk:Modanung|talk]]) 09:17, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

:Hello. Thanks for writing me back, I was trying to contact someone. Yes, I had been using some AI to assist me with some games the wiki are missing. The issue that I have, is that with the moderation control makes me hard to see the final product on the wiki until it get approved. It was not zero effort to produce them with AI, since it was partially reviews, I only have some issues with the link. Sadly you also deleted the screenshots and the thing that were already validated. I will to do my best finish the article better, but I will appreciate a less restrictive moderation for my user so I can see all the change on the pages in real time.

Libregamewiki:Rejected games list

2026-03-19T12:49:27Z

Modanung: /* A */ Extended Angband copyright issues with sources.

'''Rejected games list''' is a list of games which were rejected to have articles in the [[Libregamewiki]] for not complying with the [[Libregamewiki:Article policy|article policy]], but for which it is likely that somebody will try to add them or do time-consuming research about their freeness (or there is a significant hope of liberation, e.g. it is apparently non-free only because it has been derived from a then-non-free work).

Note that the licenses of a game can change, and that a game may be put here erroneously, so being on this list does not mean the game is rejected forever: if you think a listed game actually is free, you can start a discussion on [[Libregamewiki_talk:Rejected games list|the talk page]].

In the meantime if you do find a game to be non-free in your research, be sure also to remove it from [[Libregamewiki:Suggested games]] when you add it here. Just in case.

Lists of games rejected by other projects:

|name=My Ex-Boyfriend the Space Tyrant!
|reason=Listed as open source on the Linux Game Database, but SourceCode is available to paying customers only.<ref>http://www.um.com.au/spaceout/</ref>.
:That does not make the game non-free. [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 17:36, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
:: Section 1 of the Open Source definition says: "The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale." So, assume I bought a copy of the game with the source code. Since I am not allowed to give it to my neighbor, this is not free software.
:::If you're not allowed to give it to your neighbor, it's not free software, sure. But if they only give the source code to paying customers, that's ok. (The customer must be allowed to pass it along.) [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 19:05, 18 August 2013 (CEST)
::::Selling code is okay with free SW, it doesn't violate anything, however '''at the same time the source code has to be available to anyone''' for free in order to respect freedom to study and modify. So the question here is whether the source code is available somewhere else for anyone. If the source is really freely licensed, anyone would be able to legally host (redistribute) it somewhere for free. If this is not allowed, the license is not free. --[[User:Drummyfish|Drummyfish]] ([[User talk:Drummyfish|talk]]) 08:34, 22 January 2019 (CET)

'''SuperTux''' is a 2D side-scrolling [[platform game]] featuring [[Tux]] the Linux penguin mascot, inspired by the Super Mario series.<ref>https://www.supertux.org</ref> It is programmed in C++.

SuperTux was originally created by [[Bill Kendrick]]. [[Ingo Ruhnke]] created many of the levels.

It is licensed under the [[GNU General Public License|GPLv3]].<ref name="supertux_lic"/>

==Development==
Among the members of the development team are:
*[[Bill Kendrick]]
*[[Ingo Ruhnke]]
*[[Duong-Khang Nguyen]]

==Gameplay==
In ''SuperTux'', the player controls Tux, making him run around collecting power-ups, killing various enemies, and discovering new worlds, all for the purpose of rescuing his beloved Penny, who was captured by Nolok while Tux was distrated dancing on a picnic with her. The screen resolution is huge, allowing the player to see far ahead.

There are no lives. Instead, Tux simply respawns at the start of the level when he dies, unless he has touched the midpoint bell, in which case he'll respawn in the middle of the level and lose a few coins.

There are 2 main worlds, the Icy Island and Forest, along with many contributed worlds, such as the Halloween world. All worlds feature a worldmap, which is used to traverse across levels.

There are 5 powerups. Four of them use a special system where the more copies are collected of them, (without losing them) the better they become. For example, the more fireflowers are collected, the more fireballs can Tux shoot at once.

The [[Linux Game Tome]]'s [[Game of the Month]] project helped improve the game in 2004.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20121202012205/http://www.happypenguin.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1240 March 2004 thread about SuperTux] on the [[Linux Game Tome]]</ref> A version of the game was included on [[OpenSource Game Power]] volume 1.

Tux

'''Tux''' is the official mascot of the Linux kernel and is a widely known symbol among the Linux and [[free software]] community. He is short, fat, and has a yellow beak and duck-like flippers. He was designed by Larry Ewing, based on a suggestion by Alan Cox, and he was named by James Hughes. He represents no known penguin, but looks most like a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eudyptula_novaehollandiae fairy penguin]. Due to this symbolic significance he appears in many free software games and even some proprietary ones. These games are typically non-violent and [[:category:Child-oriented games|child friendly]]. There is an alternate mascot for the kernel, Tuz the Tasmanian devil, which was used for version 2.6.29 in order to promote support the effort to save the Tasmanian devil species from extinction due to the devil facial tumour disease<ref>[http://lwn.net/Articles/323966/ LWN.net: The kernel gets a new logo]</ref>, but this mascot has never starred in a game.

== Tux universe ==
Although the games featuring Tux are each set in their own storylines or have no back story at all, there are many common elements. Most of these are based on real life penguins or perceptions of them in popular culture. Many feature Tux living in Antarctica, often with other penguins ([[SuperTux]], [[Pingus]], [[Extreme Tux Racer]] etc). Typically Tux and his fellow penguins are after herrings and other types of fish, and as such these are usually bonus or vital items ([[Tuxedo T. Penguin: A Quest for Herring]], [[Extreme Tux Racer]], [[Tux Typing]] etc). Repeated, often one-sided, references to the market and ideals conflict between Microsoft Windows and Linux, and [[free software]] and proprietary software are also common in these games ([[XTux]], [[FreedroidRPG]], etc), similar to games like [[XBill]].

In [[Pingus]] the penguins have to venture out of Antarctica to try and figure out the force, global warming, that is destroying their world. In other games such as [[SuperTuxKart]] and [[Wormux]] there is no backstory and no real environments related to Tux or penguins, just the addition of Tux and/or multiple Tux-like penguins. In [[Frozen Bubble]] there is no back story, but graphically it appears to be set in Antarctica with a Tux-like penguin trying to save his igloo from being crushed by the downward coming bubbles. [[SuperTux]] and clone [[ReTux]] features Tux trying to save [[Tux#Gown and Penny|Penny]] after she is kidnapped by [[Nolok]]. [[IceBreaker]] has the player capturing penguins to be shipped to [[:wikipedia:Finland|Finland]] as part of a plan for world domination. In [[Tux!]], Tux is a fairy penguin (the species that [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tux_(mascot)#Origins bit] Linus Torvalds) from Australia, who sets out to search for Sardinia. [[FreedroidRPG]] has one of the more creative uses of Tux in a video game - as an extraterrestrial. There, Tux is a member of a race known as the Linarians who is stranded on Earth in the middle of a major conflict between humanity and evil conquering "MS Bots".

=== Gown and Penny ===
In many games there is also a, sometimes playable, female side character. The most common of these being called Gown or Penny. These are sometimes hinted as being Tux's girlfriend or just close friend (they have been described as being similar to Princess Peach in the Mario series<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Tux_(mascot)#So_what_*is*_Tux's_relationship_with_Penny,_then? Discussion on Penny and Tux]</ref>). Gown is sometimes depicted simply as a pink version of Tux (eg [[XTux]]) or as having a slightly skinnier figure and wearing items of female clothing including a red and white short skirt and a hair bow, according to [[Steve Baker]] inspired by Daisy Duck (eg [[TuxKart]] and [[Tuxedo T. Penguin: A Quest for Herring|A Quest for Herring]]). Her name is supposed to be a pun on Tux being short for tuxedo and gowns being another form of clothing.<ref name="g&p">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Tux#Gown_and_Penny Steve Baker on Gown and Penny]</ref> Penny in the games [[SuperTux]] and SuperTuxKart is purple and white (SuperTuxKart once featured Gown and still has a map called "Gown's Bow"). Penny has been suggested as a pun on "PENguin".<ref name="g&p"/> In [[Freeciv]], the default female leader name for the Antarctican civilization is "Tuxette". The female penguin in [[Tux!]] is called Trixi. Steve Baker, creator of A Quest for Herring and TuxKart has stated that he prefers his original character of Gown. <ref name="g&p"/>

Doom

Modanung: Extend page link to full word and fixed typo

'''Doom''' (stylized DOOM) is a first person shooter game developed by id Software in 1993 to critical acclaim, persevering over the years due to its technical prowess, large modding scene and near-timeless qualities.

The engine's source code was released by [[id Software]] under the [[GPL|GPLv2]]. It has been used to create several "source ports" that use the game's data, like [[PrBoom]] or [[Chocolate Doom]]. However, the data remained proprietary, which inspired projects like [[Freedoom]] to create libre assets for these FOSS engines to use, to liberate the game entirely.
