You misunderstand my intention with that edit. The row under which you listed the free trial is for games which can be played, in their entirety, start to finish without any limitations - ergo, not shareware, which PCGamingWiki considers a type of demo, which is, to my personal understand, not how the rest of the gaming Internet interprets the term. The section of the editing guide I linked to in my edit notes shows where such versions of games should go and how to describe them as the trial version/shareware/demo,etc. version of a game should absolutely still be mentioned.

As to the question of 'correcting' MobyGames, don't. They have their own definitions of things (which PCGamingWiki used as the basis of its taxonomy system), and that should be respected. It's merely a matter of translation between the two sites.

Think you misread my 'concerning' title with correcting. Definitely still agree as that's definitely not worth the hassle ;)

The pc gaming wiki page says that 1920x1080 resolution is 'widescreen', so the game has partial widescreen support, but you remove this page edit? If you think you know more about hunting unlimited, why didn't you fill out the page? Don't hinder people's work buddy.

If you took the time to complain about my edits, you have the time to correct them. As I said, as far as PCGamingWiki is concerned, there is no partial widescreen support. Either it does, or it doesn't. To quote from the editing guide: Most modern games will automatically configure the in-game resolution to the desktop resolution of the active monitor. In some cases, the resolution cannot be manually set. Support does not count if the resolution is stretched. If widescreen resolution support works correctly but cannot be configured (the game sets the resolution automatically) set this field to always on.

If you interfere with people's business, no one will want to organize this place. You know about pcgamingwiki but not about the game. So leaving the editing to me will help point people in the right direction. The resolution in this game is not what you think.

Article 'interference' IS my business - and the business of everyone else on this wiki, staff member or regular user. If you can't stand the idea of someone 'interfering' with your work on this site, then I don't know what to tell you.

The problem here is not not being able to withstand interference in the study, but changing the correct information. Anyway, the decision is yours. So let the pages remain blank.

Restored the "limited" widescreen designation after realizing not only it IS a valid value for that row, but that the error it was throwing is that it requires a note, which, after looking at screenshots taken when the game was first released in 2001, I was able to write up. Feel free to correct the note if there's more to it than just the HUD stretching in widescreen.

Tunahan cevik41 (talkcontribs)

Yes, as I told you, the content looks correct now. Don't mind if I overreacted a bit. Frankly, I don't know how to use the forum as well as you do. I'm making a few more edits right now. You can edit the widescreen section of the second game in the same way.
