All of the templates did exist before I was an admin. To be honest, I've been using them since they were already in use, but that's about the only reason. I guess they're sort of nice, but I'm not really sure if they're necessary. I agree that the more general ones aren't really needed.

I see your point about the specific templates. I was thinking about that before, and I guess my only concern with that is, doesn't that mean that a template would have to be made for every game and activity? It sounds like a bit of work, and I'm really not that experienced with templates, so I'm not sure if I'm an ideal person for the job. I'll try to learn more about them though, and see what I can do. I have to admit, the other wiki I've worked at the most didn't really use those kinds of templates much, except for things like stub notices, or a notice about a page having no images. Still, I'm open to the idea.

On kind of a side note, I do like the idea of using the games' icons. I wonder if we could still incorporate that elsewhere if the template thing doesn't work out. Perhaps we could create a space in the infoboxes for it?
