Revision as of 00:41, 23 April 2022


Sources for expanding

Some sources I found for expanding and adding new games to the article.

I found these on Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Search engine. If anyone else wants to find anything, you should search things there. Panini!🥪 12:21, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion criteria

I've done the quick write up of the expected inclusion criteria detailed in the split discussion at Special:Diff/1022788992 (Using diff as it'll eventually be archived). -- ferret (talk) 14:00, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Expanded it a bit by clarifying further; explained in a bit of detail because I expect younger editors to add stuff in the article. Panini!🥪 14:10, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mention of a game being a classic on Roblox

Do any sources say that some of these games have been considered classics on Roblox? I feel like Work at a Pizza Place is one considering its been around for a while but if it's not mentioned in the sources then we shouldn't mention it (I'm pretty sure its not mentioned already). Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Wikipedia Editor (talk) 14:50, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Blaze The Wolf, This is the best that I could find.
"This roleplaying game is one of the most longstanding on the platform (launched in 2008), and other successful Roblox creators like Callmehbob say it was among top favorites before they came up with her own ideas."
In addition, I'd take an additional look at The best Roblox games for a developer (Dued1) comment. There are additional snippets of content that can be used to expand multiple game sections in this list. Both of these sources are in this article already; if you're looking to expand, I'd suggest going through each source already on this article and seeing if there is other content that wasn't explained to its fullest, such as developer comments and reviews from the writers who made those "Top Roblox Games" lists. Looking through a few, I found a lot that goes unmentioned. Panini!🥪 14:59, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Could be helpful. As long as the source is reliable though Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Wikipedia Editor (talk) 15:00, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I don't see the need to include the Roblox Studio logo when the page makes no mention of it. Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Wikipedia Editor (talk) 15:01, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In the lead, "... has had numerous games created by users of their creation tool, Roblox Studio." In addition, the image caption is there to explain what it is as well. Panini!🥪 15:44, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ah ok. Cool (Fun fact: The Roblox studio logo used to just be the Roblox logo, but Blue) Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Wikipedia Editor (talk) 13:30, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Brookhaven RP

Looking at the entry for Brookhaven RP, I question that it has enough sourcing for this list. The coverage cited is not actually primarily about the game, it's about other games, with Brookhaven being mentioned only in passing. Since there does not seem to be enough actual content about the game in reliable sources, I reckon it should be removed from the article. Devonian Wombat (talk) 23:09, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We aren't exactly trying to meet GNG on any of these. They'd have their own article in that case. Four mentions across reliable sources of being one of the biggest games and challenging others in player counts is enough to show sources are aware of it. A little more in-depth would be nice, but there's enough secondary mention. We're also no where close to where we'd need to look at an edge case as potentially be removed for size reasons, etc, either. -- ferret (talk) 23:42, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Other Games

Disclaimer: below is just some comments, no hate towards the creator of this page.

This is not a full list of roblox games, this is just popular games that have been existed in roblox, other games may include: Tower Defense Simualtor, Aimblox, Gucci Garden, etc. Bacony Playzroblox (talk) 10:12, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm the creator of the article. And no worries, I dont feel hated.
Yes, this article does not contain every game in existence. If it did, that would be horrible for our servers. So indeed, emphasis on the popular; while it's a list, we still have to adhere to WP:GNG, our notability guidelines. In simple terms, it must be sourced by reliable sources and received significant coverage in order to be included. Panini!🥪 13:22, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In addition to what Panini said, you should probably look at the inclusion criteria. Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Wikipedia Editor (talk) 17:55, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Bacony Playzroblox: yes it is only popular games. There are hundreds of thousands (maybe millions idk) games on roblox. Listing every single on of them would be impossible. TigerScientist Chat > contribs 23:24, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article Name/Deletion

Hey, So this article is a bit.. odd. The name suggests that it contains every single Roblox game in existence which is impossible and implausible because as a platform it has hundreds of thousands of different places and experiences, all of them can be considered games in their own regard. Now had the name of the article been List of NOTABLE Roblox experiences/games, this might have worked, but there would have been issues with some developers with notable games, asking why their game was excluded. Also due to the recent Apple v Epic Lawsuit, Roblox has renamed Roblox places from "games" to "experiences" and as a result the article no longer correlates to the name of the page. Maybe recreate this page under a different name or simply move the article? EVaDiSh (talk) 00:27, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We don't name articles that way, such as putting "notable" as it means in Wikipedia context in the title. We also don't really care if a developer is bothered their game isn't listed. Regardless of what Roblox is calling them, COMMONNAME will still be simply "games". As for why it's not "every game ever", see the inclusion criteria at the top of the page. WP:LISTCRITERIA for more information. -- ferret (talk) 00:30, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oh alright then, my bad. EVaDiSh (talk) 00:33, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

NDS controversy

A while ago, Natural Disaster Survival added 3 new maps, and a particular disaster called 'virus'...I think we all know where that came from. It has received not a lot of popularity in the Roblox community. Is there any reliable sources talking about it and should we include them here? Cha010 (talk) 13:07, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You can try searching for reliable sources via WP:VG/S's custom google search. -- ferret (talk) 13:13, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Major games that could be Included.

I have a list of notable games that should be included.

This includes- Arsenal (2019). Super Bomb Survival (2014/2015). Hide and Seek Extreme (2014/2015). Tornado Alley (2009), Prison life (2009), Welcome to the town of Robloxia (2009), Sword fight on the heights 3 (2009), and many others from old Roblox. MoonlightVector 15:21, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Read the inclusion criteria at the top of the page and provide reliable secondary sources. -- ferret (talk) 15:50, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The only issue I can see with "Welcome to the town of Robloxia" is it's been copied so many times that the original version has practically been lost, so there might be some issues with finding secondary sourcing for that one (and it might have been copied so much that people didn't bother creating secondary sources for it because they're like, "oh great, another one that's barely changed, NEXT!"). Other than that some of these (especially Prison Life) could be a bit easier, Prison Life because it's the basis of JailBreak so maybe people have created secondary sources for it because of that factor. The only other one that I could see having secondary sourcing would be Super Bomb Survival. But you're welcome to try and find secondary sourcing for them! Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Wikipedia Editor (talk) (Stupidity by me) 16:01, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have multiple reasons for including these.
Arsenal- Most popular game of 2019 and 2020
Super Bomb Surival- First Roblox game for the Xbox One Version
Hide and Seek Extreme- Most Popular game of 2014 and 2015
Tornado Alley- Popular game from 2009 to 2017 (Shut down in 2021)
Prison Life- As you said, inspiration for jailbreak, but also one of the most popular games of 2009
Welcome to the town of Robloxia Classic- Same as you said, but also again one of the most popular games of 2009
SFOTH3 (Sword fight on the Heights 3)- Most popular game of 2006 to 2009 MoonlightVector 16:07, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also, Due to the lack of third party news, most of the research has to be self-published. Especially for games like Prison life and SFOTH3. Roblox in 2009 was kinda not cared about. MoonlightVector 16:10, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
MoonlightVector, To prove basic notability on Wikipedia (see WP:GNG), content must have sources that are reliable, (mainly) come from secondary sources unrelated to the material (WP:Primary sources). There needs to be a good-sized amount of this, too (WP:SIGCOV). From the looks of it, these possible new additions sadly do not pass these thresholds. Panini!🥪 16:39, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I know that some might, but not all i said. MoonlightVector 16:42, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
MoonlightVector, I'll look around and see what I can find. Panini!🥪 16:44, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you good sir. MoonlightVector 16:45, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Super Bomb Survival: [1]
  • Hide and Seek Extreme: [2]

The rest of the games don't bring up good results. They exist, but aren't of the best quality, per se. Panini!🥪 16:52, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I figured you would find sources for Super Bomb Survival, although I"m a bit surprised you found some for Hide and Seek Extreme. Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Wikipedia Editor (talk) (Stupidity by me) 18:16, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have my ways... Panini!🥪 15:47, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You're smart. Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Wikipedia Editor (talk) (Stupidity by me) 15:48, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

generic roleplay gaem.- A popular game from 2020-present. Also, the typo is intentional. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C6:6F34:401:3DCB:8C4B:142B:4E97 (talk) 15:54, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

More games!

I think somebody should add these games: SharkBite, Epic Minigames, Loomian Legacy (same to Brickbronze, maybe it is brickbronze after some copyright media removing), Ninja Legends, Flee the Facility , Bakon, and Guesty. Leomk0403 (talk) 09:50, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You'll need to provide sourcing then. See the inclusion criteria at the top of the page. -- ferret (talk) 14:44, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The only ones I could see possibly having sourcing would be Loomian Legacy (being Brick Bronze but without copyright) and Epic Minigames (due to its age). Otherwise I don't think any of the others would. ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:58, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

NASCAR?

I feel like that it is noteworthy to mention that NASCAR and Jailbreak have a limited time partnership together, I am just typing this just to check if that partnership is noteworthy, any thoughts?TTTTRZON (talk) 06:44, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 20 January 2022

I would like to add some more recent games and some new installments for PIGGY. BingoBangoYong0 (talk) 21:18, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Diversity in this article

Other upcoming popular games should be mentioned, and ones of different genres such as bee swarm simulator or clone tycoon 2 to represent other common genres. Additionally, the ridiculous number of randomly themed obbys is something that still baffles me today. I would suggest there also be a part of the arrival explaining how even “free robux” games can’t give robux for free as robux are not free 90.216.183.231 (talk) 06:13, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

These will not be added as long as the games don't fit the inclusion criteria. Also, if you don't know that the "free robux" games are scams then I feel sorry for you. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 11:52, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New game for the list

Pet Simulator X, due to having sources to put it in the list.190.142.225.208 (talk) 02:58, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

3008

A popular survival horror game that takes place in SCP-3008, an infinite IKEA store.

Neither of those sources make it notable. Those are both lists of Roblox games that are about games in a horror-like category. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 21:04, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Piggy's 'citation needed'

Currently, § Piggy has a 'citation needed' for: "The full version is currently being worked on by a 16 developer team." The same editor added this developer count as 14, later changed it to 16. That editor User:BingoBangoYong0, who is blocked indefinitely, initially added as source a Getrevue.co article that (currently) lists 15 people under a "Development Team" heading. Getrevue.co is Revue, a Twitter-service,[3][4] and newsletter platform. Most likely, the article author, "Piggy News", is a primary source (WP:USINGPRIMARY) in Wikipedia context. I'll leave it up to other editor(s) to decide what is the correct action here, but that's where the claim in the article comes from. --77.162.8.57 (talk) 16:01, 27 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Add Camping

Yeah, make it 2012e (talk) 10:55, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@2012e, while the Camping series may be popular on Roblox, it lacks outside notability beyond just the game (WP:SIGCOV). Therefore, it currently doesn't meet the Inclusion Criteria, listed at the top of this page for reference. Panini! 🥪 13:20, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Add The Normal Elevator

Yeah, it's a good game 2012e (talk) 13:51, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@2012e, please refer to my statement above. Panini! 🥪 13:52, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
