Why create a page for a mod pack (re: GTA SA Next Gen+)

Have you read the PCGW rules?

Trust me, this is unofficial release available for free.

Phyziyx, you could have said this nicer. But indeed Phyziyx is right here, see deletion tage on the page itself. PCGW rules indicate that mods almost never deserve their own pages, only in very very specific circumstances.

Also, for your future edits, your page contains quite some tiny mistakes, so it would be wise to just read through the PCGW editing guide fully once more and look through some well-maintained pages like Sackboy, Uncharted and Spider-Man: Miles Morales for good examples. It is quite hard to make a brand new page from scratch correctly when you don't have much editing experience on this wiki so far :)

@Johnmooth: Thanks for contributing, though sadly this is the wrong way of doing so. The wiki disallows links to copyright protected material, so the archive.org link with a full copy of the game is not allowed.

Further on, based on the pack itself it seems to mostly be a bundle containing various mods prepackages alongside the game. As a result, we ended up questioning its inclusion further, and I have deleted the page as a result.

I recommend that you allow the mod package to at least grow in popularity and awareness somewhere else as a start, and if/once it becomes prominent enough, the mod bundle itself (meaning the mod data without the game files themselves) can be linked from the existing main Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas page in the Other Information > Mods section where it would be more appropriate.

@johnsmooth Again, see you just created a new page for GeneRally, please look through the editing guide and look on other example pages as for example the taxonomy is wrong, availability should be indicated differently, "This game runs only with OpenGL adapters in the game." is a weird note honestly, how is FoV editable by editing tracks and using zoom?, ref has an error etc. Would really advice you to first get some more editing experience before making more pages to improve your skills first....

Again, your last few edits were again of bad quality, as said, please improve this (and ask us anything you want on Discord) or I will have to report you for bad practices. Get the feeling you are refusing to read the editing guidelines and don't put much effort in to get things right. So, please prove me wrong :)
