Logseq/Entity/Game/Type

• Game Type

  • In this garden, Game Type pages model reusable categories used to describe games, such as genres, families, mechanics, modes, and design patterns — pages whose primary identity is a type of game, not an individual playable work or system.

  • What counts as an instance

    • Genres and families — reusable catalog labels such as Game/Video/Platformer.
    • Mechanics and modes — recurring game-design categories when the page is about the game-design lens itself.
    • Not individual titles — pages such as Game/Video/Cookie Clicker or Co/Nintendo/Game/Super Mario are Logseq/Entity/Game instances when their primary identity is the playable game.

  • Relationship to other entity types

    • Logseq/Entity/Game — Use for individual playable works or systems.
    • Logseq/Entity/Concept — Use when the page is a cross-domain explanation or general paradigm article rather than a game-catalog lens.
    • Logseq/Entity/Software/Project — Use for tools, engines, SDKs, libraries, or apps whose primary identity is software infrastructure rather than a category of games.

  • Finding and deduplicating

    • Search for an existing page before creating a new game type entity. Stop early only when a result is clearly the same game category, genre, mechanic, family, or mode.
    • Search namespace-flexibly: exact expected page title; aliases; singular/plural and medium-specific variants; page-body mentions; and sibling or related game taxonomy branches. Do not assume every game type entity lives under the Game namespace, though that namespace is often a strong candidate.
    • Classify as: existing, similar (needs human judgment), new, or blocked.

  • Frontmatter

    • On instances, set logseq-entity:: Logseq/Entity/Game/Type so backlinks list game type entities.
    • Shared frontmatter conventions live on Logseq/Frontmatter.

  • Page shape

    • Use garden-wide Logseq Flavored Markdown and naming conventions by reference; this type page only adds game-type semantics.
    • Lean hub: H1 with the type name, Overview, optional Context / Examples / Subtypes / Links as the topic warrants.
