Maybe the reviewer's main page in a folder?

I feel this could use a more formal discussion at Wiki Talk if "list of works a channel played/discussed" helps the site with crosslinking.

Main page is not a bad idea in itself, but after a few years it gets really crowded.

But yeah, maybe it's worth a discussion.

yeah i believe standard practice was to list them in a folder; i know Zero Punctuation does something similar

looking at it now, zero punctuation has a dedicated page for games reviewed; not sure if recreating it there would breach any Edit War clauses though

I copied the contents to Sandbox.Joueur Du Grenier in case anyone wants to move them somewhere more appropriate (such as a folder on the main page, as suggested).

Is the Zero Punctuation page valid? I believe I page for works reviewed by Bob Chapman was cut due similar reasons.

I do like the idea of a "Reviewed Works" subpage like the Zero Punctuation one, and it does avoid the issue of conflicting with the purpose of Recap pages, but yeah, I'm waiting to see if that's considered objectionable as well.

For what it's worth, I think that other page may have been cut because it was indexing the films, but we'll see about that.

Main.Films Discussed By Moviebob was at least partially cut because the Main/ namespace is not appropriate for pages associated with work or creator pages, since that's what subpages are for. As for the larger discussion regarding these types of lists, Wiki Talk would be more appropriate for that.
