Before I go digging through their entire edit history, do you have any specific examples you can provide?

War Jay 77, I apologize for this, but is this what you're talking about (this is for Power Rangers and Predator 2 on Sega Genesis)

Closer? But I'm just asking you to link the timestamp to specific edits. Look at other behavioral reports and see how those are formatted.

Yes, that's the ticket.

At a glance, it looks like they're removing redlinked works. Some pages are only for listing works we already have a page on (the entire Fan Works namespace, for example), but as we remember it, Useful Notes does allow redlinks and those should have stayed.

Red Link works are allowed and are recommended, period.

What I've noticed is that they unlink licensed games if they direct to a Film/ page that doesn't have a VideoGame/ page.

Hello. It's been a day since I last posted on here and I was wondering on if a decision has been made on whether or not the removed examples can be restored or does said decision needs more time for consideration.

As it's been a week since I've last posted on here, I've not only wondered on what the general consensus is about possibly restoring the removed examples, but I also thought about a potential solution to this problem and that being to create a sub-section on the specific pages for the Licensed Games in order to help separate them from the mainstream titles. Would that be able to suffice and help out in the long run?

I think it’s fine to restore the examples. Just link back to this ATT thread when you do.
