| Is there any specific reason [[Portal:Role-playing games]] is referred to as Games on this template? Or can I change this to Roleplaying Games? --[[User:Rgladwell|Ricardo Gladwell]] 11:26, 9 May 2006 (CEST) | | Is there any specific reason [[Portal:Roleplaying Games]] is referred to as Games on this template?

| :It was just a stylistic decision to keep the titles around the same length. Feel free to change it if you don't like it. [[User:Angela Beesley|Angela Beesley]] 12:17, 9 May 2006 (CEST)

| ::Perhaps a better alternative would be to use RPG instead of either Games or Role-playing games? [[User:Angela Beesley|Angela Beesley]] 05:40, 10 May 2006 (CEST)

| :::I'm not sure people would be familiar with the acronym. Of the top of my head I can't think of an alternative. --[[User:Rgladwell|Ricardo Gladwell]] 09:22, 10 May 2006 (CEST)

| :::RPG often means Rocket-Propelled Grenade in shoot'em'up games. Also the abbreviation would be difficult to understand for non-native English speakers. --[[User:Antoine|Antoine]] 13:07, 10 May 2006 (CEST)

| ::::That's interesting. I'd assumed "RPG" was more commonly used than "Role-playing games" by non-English speakers. Perhaps [[Template:Portals]] should be translated anyway to avoid that problem.
| |
| | |
| ::::MMORPG certainly seems more widely used that the full term "massively multiplayer online role-playing game", so perhaps I was thinking the same applied to RPG when it doesn't. [[User:Angela Beesley|Angela Beesley]] 19:47, 10 May 2006 (CEST)

| :::::In French the full form is often used, that is "Jeux de Rôles", and there is an abbreviation but it is JDR not RPG ;-))
| |
| :::::But perhaps Role-Playing Games and Video Games should really be subcategories of a broader category named Games? --[[User:Antoine|Antoine]] 20:15, 10 May 2006 (CEST)

| ::::::I'm not sure there are a lot of non-RPG games in the free content arena: AFAIK only RPGs are working in this area at the moment. Free content video games would come under the heading of free software, would it not? --[[User:Rgladwell|Ricardo Gladwell]] 18:22, 12 May 2006 (CEST)
