Advanced Style Guide update and feedback thread

[dhaabi]

Can the original style guide be updated once more to clarify specifically that, just like with Steam, game bundles found on any digital storefront are not permitted to add as entries? There have been recent attempts to submit these types of items, but I am not able to explain properly to those submitting them that this rule extends beyond just Steam.

What Steam items can be added to the site?
Games, Demos and most DLC can be added.

DLC that we do not track (no entries should be made)
- Soundtracks
- Digital Artbooks
- Workshop items
- Season Passes

Also do not make entries for Steam Inventory items such as cards, pack, gems, icons, wallpapers, coupons or in-game items such as CS:GO crates/skins, or other game cosmetics such as for CS:GO, H1Z1 or TF2 (just to name a few examples).

Game packs or bundles should not be added. All Steam items we add must have the word app in the Steam URL, for example:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/49520/Borderlands_2/

It may also be beneficial to combine the existing Digital Games section with specific information about Steam into one post as they're currently separated which, in my opinion, results in making the guide disorganized. Personally, some of the information outlined in the latter post seems unnecessary to mention as it's repeating general rules already outlined further above in the guide.

Made the mention at the beginning here:

I put it on my list to redo that portion of the Style Guide to combine those sections in the future.

Symbols
Sometimes an item will use a symbol in its branding and sometimes it is a letter replacement. For item name, the representative letter should be used. In the case where a symbol is present and is not a letter replacement, it should be omitted.
Watch Dogs not Watch_Dogs.
Gal Gun: Double Peace not Gal☆Gun or Gal*Gun
Idolmaster, The not Idolm@ster.

For the purposes of our site, would instances of numbers replacing letters be subject to the rule? I have found no evidence of D1AL being an acronym within the game in question. If so, could this entry be added to the list of examples, or could it instead be made clear of this circumstance in the rule description?

I'm sure there are other examples and I'd want to compare those first. I don't know whether those are using numbers like that or not. But if so, then the "word" they are supposed to represent should be in the alt name.

Not that we need to be concerned with game content for the purposes of our entries, but an LP of the game indicates D1AL-ogue is a named location within the game, named in the opening cut-scene.
