References guide
The following is a list of commonly-encountered References issues.
- Notability: Most published or aired references to Sega are included. However, particularly in the Internet category, we require a certain level of notability for new entries.
- Sponsorships: Any officially-sponsored references, such as award shows or motorsports events, belong in Sponsorships.
- Recurring references: Any commonly-recurring references, such as a character in a television series, only need their first appearance listed. Ensure to note that said reference is a recurring one.
- Multi-game shows: Any television series which cover numerous games by different companies, like GameCenter CX, only need their first reference covered. Ensure to list any future references in the same listing.
- Hardware in Sonic references: If a reference features someone playing a Sonic game, and it shows them using hardware required to play the game (like a Control Pad (Mega Drive) or Game Gear), that reference doesn't need to be copied here as well.
To do
- Rename to Film, Television, and Web?
- Make a distinction between References and Sponsorships (may need content migrated between articles)?
- Limit entries by notability?
- Otto - Der Außerfriesische was co-financed by Sega. Check for product placement.
- Solar Opposites - Saturn appearance.
- Dream Team - Members of the Harchester United F.C. playing a Dreamcast.
- London's Burning - Firefighters browsing the internet on a Dreamcast.
- Two Guys and a Girl - Dreamcast in a character's apartment.
- Cheaters - Dreamcast appearance.
- Bodacious Space Pirates - Dreamcast appearance.
- I found the scene of Dreamcast in London's Burning. I'll upload it tomorrow! - Deathscythe
Mr. Robot
The logo uses same font as Sega. Is that qualify to this page? Geti3220 (talk) 14:02, 22 May 2024 (EDT)

This task is unfinished This is a wiki task that requires more thought or peer review. An important issue that needs to be solved, which will appear at the top of Sega Retro:Todo until this message is removed. |
I think it might be worth splitting this into separate "film" and "television" pages, because turns out there's a lot of films and television shows.
but
I also think it might be a good idea to copy parts of Template:InfoTable/Template:InfoRow - have a thumbnail we can actually see (on the left, so it's consistent with other pages), and have the tabs for multiple screenshots.
