== 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.

::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.

== 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)
