I saw [https://strategywiki.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Castlevania&diff=next&oldid=806723 this] change and it seems to rearrange things significantly from what the "story order" had. I've been thinking of what the main goal of our series templates should be. It could either be to show story, release order, or genre. Generally, those all match, but sometimes prequels/sequels/etc get released in different formats which make things more complicated. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 14:39, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

: I usually choose to organize by <u>genre</u> (e.g. [[:Template:Mega Man]]). If a series includes games belonging to different genres, I think a player is more likely to play only those whose genre he/she likes. If you loved ''[[Castlevania: Symphony of the Night]]'', you are willing for more of the same; the old template showed it next to ''[[Castlevania: Rondo of Blood]]'', but it has completely different gameplay: if you were looking for another ''Symphony'', you would be sorely disappointed. --[[User:Abacos|Abacos]] ([[User talk:Abacos|talk]]) 15:57, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
