Since this is a foreign-language game, even though there is an English-language title, it appears to be based on the Japanese title from reading the article. If that is true, then should we add either of these templates to the top or both to show the translation? Aasim (talk) 09:25, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
- Awesome Aasim, this is definitely an unusual situation. The reading for the characters 原神 would be genshin in Japanese, which would lend more support for using {{nihongo}}. Maybe it'd be easier to solve this by not using a template and just use (原神 in Chinese and Japanese)? —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 16:04, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
- Love it. Thanks for the change. Aasim (talk) 20:20, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
The phrase "online-only" appearing on the opening sentence of this article
Hi, I'm relatively new here, and may not be aware of all of Wikipedias many rules, please excuse my breaking of the "3RR" rule. I am not also not familiar with the concept of several editors reverting a factual and critical portion of information which seemingly belongs exactly where I placed it within the opening sentence. I don't wish to make offensive assumptions, but it seems like this page is guarded by several individuals who may be particularly like-minded in their interest of this topic? I don't know how else to put it, please excuse me. May I ask why any of you may believe my edit is out of place and should be consistently removed, despite my reversal of your actions, which also have no valid excuse as to why my edits were removed in the first place? Again dont wish to seem offensive, but this seems highly unnatural and a bit suspicious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.82.51.145 (talk) 23:26, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
It also seems that people are specifically taking turns in some kind of coordinated fashion in order to not violate this "3RR" rule. This is only an assumption due to reasonable suspicion, and I certainly don't wish for anyone to take offense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.82.51.145 (talk) 01:12, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- I think you may be directing this comment in part at me and to be clear - I stumbled across these edits while doing anti-vandalism patrol. I reverted purely on the basis that the content was being repeatedely re-added that was clearly disputed without a discussion having occurred here. I have no opinion on the actual content dispute, nor do I believe I have interacted with any of the involved editors previously. I would suggest to remember to assume good faith when interacting with other editors.
- The onus is on the individual who seeks to include disputed content to justify why that content should be included - the purpose of this talk page discussion should be to discuss the content, not the editors - so I'd encourage you to elaborate on why you feel that this content should be added.

Ah yes, thanks for clarifying, I had thought the opposite for some reason with regards to justifying my edit. But anyway, there has been discussion to some degree about this matter, but done entirely in the comments section. To where a person reverting my edits provided an excuse which I would consider highly inaccurate. Again, reasonable suspicion. Also, if you pay attention to my previous comments here in this discussion, I do specifically ask why the edit has been consistently removed. What is the reasoning behind this? The excuse given in the comments section by a single editor also seems highly inaccurate to me. I would even say obviously inaccurate. So please, discuss. Do you wish for me to copy and paste the comments for you?
@75.82.51.145: The introductory paragraph states that it is a gacha game. All gacha games are online only, so I fail to see how Genshin Impact is so unusual that it requires a 'Online only' NightFire19 (talk) 01:39, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
Right, so why do you feel the urge to consistently revert a minor clarification of this games mechanics? This game shares similarities with other titles too, I also believe more people think this titles shares more similarity to "The legend of Zeldaa, Breath of the Wild" which I can source from multiple sites as proof of this similarity. Zelda, and just about all other mainstream titles similar to Zelda, such as Skyrim and many others, all do not require internet access, so I certainly feel this clarification I added was needed. Im still not seeing why this needs to be consistently reverted in a such fashion which also seems to be a coordinated effort to me. Whyis this topic fiercely guarded? Is it a commercial interest? I don't wish to make offensive assumptions, but this certainly is what my logic dictates. How else would you explain this?
