No, they can be used as an entire gallery if you want: arcadepreservation.wikia.com/wiki/Track_21Just scroll down a little for it. I think there's also an "add a gallery" button at top right, as you can just hit that. Plus, I think your question is in regards to when you make a new page and they have headers and crap come up automatically. Personally I just highlight the whole thing and hit delete and just start off with a blank page. I also think switching to the Source mode is easier too. Nice start so far, just what I'm looking for  |

Wondering if you'd want anything international and over the pond.

Of course, there's only been arcades added in just five countries so far. |

It'd have to exist in the entertainment world, like a book or movie. The purpose of the wiki isn't to just make up arcades and put them in. BUT...another possibility could be that you could do that in an arcade blog, I suppose (note: that's mine, but it's reeeeeeal long, even though all of the arcades I just put in brief comments on). Maybe you can mix comments about real arcades with info on the RPG site in a separate section. |

Not sure what you're asking. You'd need an account to put up something unless you're going to do a page and are not going to seek credit without an account by posting anonymously.

No I mean say part of a movie takes place in an arcade and I wanted to add that arcade to your site, but the arcade wasn't a central part of the movie and may not have had a name like Joe's Arcade. Do I list it under the movie? |

Oh, I've got several pages on there known as "Unnamed ___ arcade" or whatever, such as "Unnamed Lanford bowling alley" (for a Roseanne episode), "Unnamed Old Detroit Arcade" (from RoboCop 2), etc. If you know at least what city and/or state the movie/arcade took place in that'd help and it can be named (sort of  ) thusly. If the name of the arcade is discovered later (sometimes writers don't even bother putting that in anyway) I can just rename the article. |

I thought of it because GF was watching Pretty in Pink the other night and I know I saw an arcade in there. So I thought of you. lol. They probably pop up a lot in 80s films. |

^Probably! It's been ages since I saw that move but it's ironic I don't even remember an arcade scene in there though I just looked around its imdb entry and couldn't find anything with the name of a town or state where it took place at. |

^Heh!
According to Wikipedia the movie was set in a Chicago suburb. So that's a start (could just be entered as "Unnamed Chicago arcade" on the wiki).

^It says it takes place somewhere in New Jersey. Is that where the convenience store was located in the movie? (That's what it looks like from the photos. It'd have to have three machines to be included in the wiki though. Was there three?)
