It's an index, Android counts as a platform.

I see, it really is an Index; but then shouldn't IOS Games be moved to Main because it is an index rather than a Useful Notes page, too? For consistency. It doesn't make sense that of these two similar pages, one is considered an Index and the other a Useful Note...

Yeah, it should. You'd need a mod for that, though, since they're the only ones that can make new articles in the Main namespace.

Constanton 11 moved IOS Games to UsefulNotes/ with seemingly no discussion or warning. I think what should be done is someone starting two TLP drafts for IOS and Android so it actually fits the namespace and has info about the operating systems.

In fact, I just started a TLP draft for IOS here, help would be appreciated, a draft for Android may be made as well.

I moved IOS Games because it was in Useful Notes Pages In Main.

We don't need Useful Notes pages for the operating systems...

Well, we have pages on Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. I think that if we had pages on every single version of an operating system that would be overkill, but just having general overviews of them would be fairly smart. Plus, the IOS Games page actually states how its games are affected by iOS mechanics and Apple's relationship with gamers, which makes it more important to the medium and probably better than those PC OS pages. If I find something like that for the eventual Android draft, I'll add it too. And I ask you to please keep an open mind before just shutting my idea, because what if I actually manage to make a good page that describes the OS and its games?

Also, I'll move it to Sandbox.IOS and Sandbox.Android instead because TLP really doesn't have the best enviroment for huge pages.

Android 10 came out today, so I'll take it as an opportunity to ask about what people think about my Sandbox.Android draft and how it can still be improved. Please share your thoughts.
