How to create pages and templates for media series?

[Mazryonh]

Okay, then I'd like to see a template made for the Sniper Elite game series. Maybe this thread could become a request thread for media series templates to be made.

The help page does talk about how to redirect pages, but should there also be a step-by-step guide? Moving a page breaks all the previous links to it, but making a new redirect page will "patch" the break and redirect those old links to the new page, right?

When you move a page, the option to automatically create a redirect is always checked. You can always uncheck it and not create a redirect, but that's usually due to typos in the page name or egregious errors.

As for Sniper Elite, we have one WIP page that hasn't had an edit in almost two years, and two incomplete pages. There's no guarantee they'll be sticking around.

The Sniper Elite games are available on Steam, which makes taking screenshots rather easy, and the games have many fans, so it's likelier than not for someone to finish those pages.

You'd think, right?

If what you're implying is that it's easy, I personally think a little more variety in game screenshots would be welcome too. Assuming you've finished the game and have a bunch of saves most places, it should also be easy to take screenshots of the firearms in a bunch of places and poses. That would certainly be more fun to look at than seeing all the screenshots on a page taken from just one level (usually the starting one) with only one pose.

Easy or not, no one has bothered to do it. That's the key.
