:I absolutely respect your opinion, but I don't believe that having two separate Eras damages the wiki in any way, as it is very each to talk about both eras together or the HD universe as a whole. I believe that grouping all existing and future IV and V era games into one package would cause problems. I'm sorry if there's something I'm missing here?

::No, you're not missing anything, but I still disagree. Your favourite argument is saying that "we'd have to put tons of effort to explain why something only appears in a half of an era". What I don't understand is: in the GTA III Era, some characters appear only in San Andreas. Others only in Vice City, or in Liberty City. The GTA III Era has more games than the GTA IV Era + GTA V. And still, we don't go saying "Lance Vance is a character in the Vice City part of the GTA III Era." You just don't make sense here. Just the same, we would say: "Niko Bellic is a character in the GTA IV Era". Why need to say more? This indicates the reader in which games he may have appeared, and in which games he may appear in the future (DLCs). Whether GTA V is part of GTA IV or not, saying he was a character in the GTA IV Era is not completely accurate, since Chinatown Wars is also part of the GTA IV Era, and he's not featured in it at all. Really, I don't get your logic here at all. | |||
::Besides, I think basing an Era on the number of the game's title is completely irrelevant. The number was chosen only for commercial purpose. When they came up with GTA V, they weren't trying to tell "Guys, this is gonna be different from GTA IV", they meant "This is gonna be just as big as GTA IV, if not bigger". A title is just a title, we should not use it as irrefutable evidence for the bases of game classification on the wiki, like you do. | |||
::One last thing; I've seen a lot of people disagree with you, but with all due respect: I don't think your opinion here matters more than mine, or anyone's because you're the owner. This is a wiki, a small community; we do and discuss things together. That matters on encyclopedic websites more than anywhere else. Just a small, and as friendly as possible, reminder. I may be wrong though, I may have got the wrong impresion.--[[User:Loadingue|Loadingue]] ([[User talk:Loadingue|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Loadingue|edits]]) 01:35, 1 May 2013 (BST) | |||
