== layout is not clear enough. ==
{{Resolved|A mixed version has been made by Torchiest to eliminate confusion and retain the sub-category information.}}
I changed the layout to be more clear, but [[User:Niemti|Niemti]] seems to be claiming ownership of the template. And hasn't provided any valid answer to reversion. Standard layouts of these templates across other games, with film, television are seperated as I have done. But Niemti seems to reject what appears to be across projects as a default standard. [[User:Govvy|Govvy]] ([[User talk:Govvy|talk]]) 12:10, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
It is "clear enough", it's adapatations (listed in chronological order). While you falsely claimed the only adaptations was the comic series, which was "unclear enough" - as in, totally misleading. --[[User:Niemti|Niemti]] ([[User talk:Niemti|talk]]) 12:48, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
maybe it's clear enough for you, but it might not be clear enough for other people, sometimes too simple isn't simple enough, it was divided to be specific for each gene, where as producing information for those readers who require ease of navigation. So are you going to change it back to what I did? Or are you going to keep the more, (General user says "wait, whats all these now I need to click on each article because I was looking for the second or third film.." Then they try to work out which one is the internet show! It's all for ease of navigation! [[User:Govvy|Govvy]] ([[User talk:Govvy|talk]]) 13:22, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
:Nobody had ever a problem. And no. There's also no "third film". --[[User:Niemti|Niemti]] ([[User talk:Niemti|talk]]) 14:13, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
::Bet you never asked if anyone has a problem with it, I have a problem with it as it is. I was following standard template style when I changed that. You are one stubborn individual! :/ [[User:Govvy|Govvy]] ([[User talk:Govvy|talk]]) 14:25, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
::"Nobody ever had a problem" doesn't strike me as a valid argument; it seems rather clear at the very least Govvy had a problem with it. I can't attest to the inaccuracies that Niemti speaks of - I'm not especially knowledgable in the MK extended universe type stuff - but I do think that at the very least the cluttered "Adaptations" should be split out some, considering it seems to cover several different mediums.

== [[Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe]] ==
Should it really be in the spinoff section since the most recent game is sometimes referred to as "Mortal Kombat 9" implying that DC Universe is the 8th main installment? --[[User:Mika1h|Mika1h]] ([[User talk:Mika1h|talk]]) 19:09, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
:Not really, the actual [http://kotaku.com/5026290/ed-boon-we-scrapped-mortal-kombat-8?tag=mortal-kombat-vs-dc-universe "MK8" project] was canceled in favor of vsDCU and was never released. --[[User:Niemti|Niemti]] ([[User talk:Niemti|talk]]) 02:28, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
Doesn't make sense to me, as it's not technically a "spin-off" in terms of gameplay. It's still very much a fighting game. [[Special:Contributions/85.210.179.215|85.210.179.215]] ([[User talk:85.210.179.215|talk]]) 22:23, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
It's an uncanoncial crossover side game, something like [[Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter]]. --[[User:Niemti|Niemti]] ([[User talk:Niemti|talk]]) 23:40, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
:So why are Mythologies and Special Forces listed in the "spin-offs"? They're technically part of the main story. [[Special:Contributions/85.210.179.215|85.210.179.215]] ([[User talk:85.210.179.215|talk]]) 18:06, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
Well, looks like we've come to some sort of compromise, at least. "Spin-offs" just wasn't working. [[Special:Contributions/85.210.179.215|85.210.179.215]] ([[User talk:85.210.179.215|talk]]) 21:53, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
== Need to mention ''Injustice'' in the template? ==
I honestly don't see it. It is only tangentially related to MK9, and that's a single game in the series of 15+ games. --[[User:UKER|uKER]] ([[User talk:UKER|talk]]) 19:24, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
==Characters==
Removed a host of improper additions that redirected to the main MK character article. As a reminder, characters must have '''their own articles''' before they can be added into the template.

== list of characters ==
Seems incomplete, where did Tanya go? Why do people keep removing some of the characters? Trying to find them on wiki at times can be a pain at times if you keep removing them. [[User:Govvy|Govvy]] ([[User talk:Govvy|talk]]) 16:46, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
:In order for characters to have their own articles, they need to pass [[WP:Notability]]: basically recognition of these by third party sources. See [[Ermac]] as an example. The article has a big reception section where publications for gaming talk about him. If you don't like this guidelines I suggest you moving to the Mortal Kombat wikia where all characters have articles for themselves. Cheers.[[User:Tintor2|Tintor2]] ([[User talk:Tintor2|talk]]) 18:32, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
== Injustice and War Gods ==
A couple threads up someone questions the inclusion of Injustice: Gods Among Us in the template. I'd actually been wondering if the template shouldn't include [[War Gods (video game)]]. The basic rationale for including Injustice would seem to be the same as that for including War Gods: same developer as Mortal Kombat, and frequently described in the press as being an unofficial follow-up to the latest Mortal Kombat game. I'm not sure whether Injustice and War Gods should be included in the navbox or not, but it seems a bit odd to have one but not the other.--[[User:Martin IIIa|Martin IIIa]] ([[User talk:Martin IIIa|talk]]) 02:41, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
:I think the reason why Injustice is linked here is because some Mortal Kombat characters appear as DLCs. Don't know about War Gods though.[[User:Tintor2|Tintor2]] ([[User talk:Tintor2|talk]]) 10:28, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
::Ah, okay. I didn't know about the DLC characters.--[[User:Martin IIIa|Martin IIIa]] ([[User talk:Martin IIIa|talk]]) 15:23, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
== 2D and 3D ==
