Template:Shortcut Welcome to the Video games WikiProject on the English Wikipedia! We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to video games.

  • serve as the central point of discussion for issues related to video games on Wikipedia; and
  • maintain the Video games portal.

  • The assessment department evaluates the quality and importance of video game related articles.
  • The essential articles page identifies the most important topics in the scope of this WikiProject.
  • The reference library is an archive of high-quality sources that may be used to support development history, critical reception, and other sections of articles.
  • We have task forces within our project that provide centralized information and discussion for topics that have a sufficiently large scope, but would not benefit from having a separate WikiProject with all of the associated bureaucracy.
