The proposed WikiProject was created at Wikipedia:WikiProject Extended reality. Using WikiProject name from discussion. Scope is small but support is there. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 19:53, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Description[edit]

WikiProject Virtual reality and augmented reality would be a child project of WikiProject Video games, WikiProject Software, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing. The main purpose of this WikiProject would be to improve and create articles related to virtual reality and augmented reality. For the past couple of years, the virtual reality industry has grown and with it is the amount of Wikipedia articles related to virtual reality. This Wikiproject will both maintain and create articles related to virtual reality. Pizzaplayer219TalkContribs 18:47, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Pizzaplayer219TalkContribs 18:47, 26 May 2023 (UTC) as proposer.[reply]
  2. I support the creation but wouldn't join; I'd still make a barnstar and userbox though. Jerium (talk) 22:10, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Support it's creation, but I probably wouldnt participate until they start making more traditional games for VR (Mario, Sonic, Final Fantasy, etc). Sergecross73 msg me 15:41, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  4. I support the creation and I would join. Blitzfan51 speak to the manager 18:58, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  5. I support the creation as it's a growing niche and being used for more and more in the past few years, but wouldn't join; might contribute on occasion to VR articles as I'm pretty familiar with the consumer hardware and gaming elements, but I have other focuses. DarkeruTomoe (talk) 20:34, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Support. I wouldn't join, but it should exist. QuicoleJR (talk) 18:55, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

  • Comment I would just call this proposal WikiProject Virtual reality, since augmented and mixed reality still require virtual stimulation to help produce the results, and virtual reality is the significantly common topic amongst society. Jerium (talk) 22:07, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I think this might be better as a task force than a WikiProject Blitzfan51 speak to the manager 18:55, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Eh, I feel like the scope is big enough for a WikiProject. If you look through the categories, you can see lots of pages and sub categories that this project can cover. Pizzaplayer219TalkContribs 19:06, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do you have other editors interested in this project? - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 03:20, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The proposed name is too long. I suggest Wikiproject Extended reality. Merko (talk)
That could work. Pizzaplayer219TalkContribs 12:56, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
