Welcome to the Machinima work group of WikiProject Animation and WikiProject Video games. Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of machinima and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

Scope[edit]

The Machinima work group aims to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to machinima on Wikipedia, and to standardize, improve, and maintain machinima-related articles. For the purposes of this definition, machinima-related is intended to be fairly broad.

What the Machinima work group covers

Machinima productions and fictional elements thereof
Examples: Diary of a Camper, "Make Love, Not Warcraft", List of characters in Red vs. Blue
Techniques and production processes unique to or characteristic of machinima
Example: Digital puppetry
Production companies primarily or exclusively known for machinima works
Examples: Edgeworks Entertainment, ILL Clan
Voice actors, writers, producers, and other people primarily or exclusively known for their roles in machinima
Examples: Paul Marino
Other organizations, publications, events, and awards primarily or exclusively related to machinima
Example: List of machinima festivals

What the Machinima work group is not

The Machinima work group does not currently attempt to cover:

General filming and acting
Examples: Letterbox, voice acting
General articles about games, game engines, or fictional characters used to create machinima
Examples: Master Chief (Halo), id Tech, The Sims 2
Note, however, that any articles specifically covering the use of those assets in machinima would be covered.
