Can we protect this article from anonymous IPs? Just look at all the edits that have had to be reverted over the last few months. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 20:52, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What I propose is the entire article to be condensed to simply a list of games, with the platforms as a separate field, like this. Having it separated by platform is highly redundant and hard to navigate. ~ Dissident93(talk)16:24, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm aware, but I think the article would be better as a list of games by release date, rather than platform. See List of Square Enix games for how this would ideally work. The only issue is that it would require a large amount of work, so I haven't really got around to it yet. ~ Dissident93(talk)22:47, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Should Atlus's in-house developed games be included with games they only published, like List of Square Enix video games, or should they be separated into their own table?
Should we group by year, or keep the exact release date? Exact release dates for some of these more obscure games are almost impossible to find, but generally the year is known.
Should we keep the regional release info? Like above, some games might have been released in Australia, but it's a no here because it wasn't really reported.
Other than that, it just needs all the repeated games removed, more references, and a platform field, which is probably the hardest part as it can't be automated like all the previous edits. If anybody wants to help, go ahead, but I should get around to it over time. ~ Dissident93(talk)22:50, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This is really good formatting, thanks for the hard work. Personally, I don't think that games published solely by Atlus USA should be on this list. I created the table for that on the Atlus USA page. Everything on that page should be games that have been published by Atlus because they own all the intellectual properties that they publish. Games solely published by Atlus USA on the other hand are just distribution agreements. Iftekharahmed96 (talk) 11:31, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, I was going to do that anyway. As for an update, I'll probably end up removing the regional release data and merge release dates by year instead of day if nobody objects, as it's just easier and cleaner to maintain. ~ Dissident93(talk)08:27, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
By the way serge, you can go ahead with the manual merging of the Atlus games articles. There doesn't seem to be any other feedback outside of mines. Iftekharahmed96 (talk) 17:13, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi everyone, I'm okay with investing some time in this project. Looking at the current draft in User:Dissident93's sandbox, I think the biggest chunk of work is adding a Platform column. I don't mind fixing that. I personally prefer to keep the exact dates in the 'original release date' column for a clearer overview. TheLegendaryN (talk) 17:51, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What's the current situation of the merge? I think the merge should be implemented now. As mentioned earlier, all games published solely by Atlus USA is going to be on their page regardless if it's physical or digital (as they're a separate legal entity despite being a regional division).

I have something on my sandbox page, which is based on Dissident's version on his sandbox page back in January (see my message above). So I got it merged, I think it's complete and clear of duplicates, but it's not sorted on release date. TheLegendaryN (talk) 23:28, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Once the dates get sorted, it should go live. That's the only thing that kept me from finishing it, as it's such a large amount of manual work. EDIT: Oh, and there still exists some redundant games that should be merged, but that should be done after the dates. ~ Dissident93(talk)23:34, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have time for it today, but I have sorted the dates using the dts feature, so I can write a small program to sort the whole table. I will have to manually restore all Japanese references then (any reference with non-Unicode characters), but I think that's less work then manually sorting the whole table by date. I think I can have that done in a couple of days. TheLegendaryN (talk) 09:31, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The whole thing is sorted and can be found on my sandbox page (link above). I still need to fix the references that contain Japanese (non-Unicode) characters. Once I'm finished with that, I'll put everything up in this article. TheLegendaryN (talk) 15:50, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The only real thing left to do is replace the GameSpot profile pages (which are supposed to be unreliable), with third-party articles. ~ Dissident93(talk)23:44, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed that Studio Zero is listed as the developer for their games (Catherine: Full Body & Project Re Fantasy) since they were established, instead of Atlus. I was wondering if the same should be done for P-Studio's games since they were officially established in 2012. The P-Studio logo appears on the back of the boxes on these games:
