User talk:Rala72/Chronological Order

Sources?

The source you cite doesn't offer any explanation as to how each piece of content within the overall timeline - it is quite literally speculation. How do mods factor into chronological order when they are not canonical? There's a clear divide in community and official content on this wiki, and this article doesn't follow it. i-ghost 23:27, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

It's true that I don't really have sources, but I think it would be nice to have an (inaccurate) timeline somewhere. I thought marking it as community content with the nav bar in the footer is enough to not be presented as official. Is there some way we can have it on the wiki in some form? I hope it is at least allowed, to have the page in my area: User:Rala72/Chronological Order --Rala72 (talk) 18:20, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Of course, you can put whatever you want in your user space. It is your user space after all. So here are my thoughts on having a chronological order page:

• The chronology of the official games is already implied in their names (Portal, Portal 2), and article consisting of three rows in a table for official content (Portal, Portal 2, Co-Op) isn't very useful.
• Unless it's the same mod author for multiple mods and they explicitly define a timeline for their mods, there isn't any real continuity between mods. If there was sufficient evidence to suggest a chronology between unrelated mods, then a page like this might be useful. As it stands, nothing like this exists.

Overall I don't think it is very useful to readers. If there were many Portal games and spin-offs, then it would be useful to have such a page. i-ghost 22:48, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
