Split into UK and AUS/NZ

I think it is a good idea to split them up as they are actually two separate magazines with their own editors. This would be further reinforced if the release dates for games are significantly different. Anthony 1l (talk) 15:11, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can't get any third-party references for this, but the articles in the AUS/NZ version are near-identical to the UK version, and the only difference is their date of publication 182.239.142.226 (talk) 11:26, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The first stage to splitting would be to build two distinct sections within this article - one about the UK magazine and one about the Oz magazine. When one of them becomes large enough because it has enough sourced essential information, that can be split out in WP:Summary style. Currently there is not enough material to do a merge.

Disambiguation needed?

"...a hatred of...Hull ^{[disambiguation needed]}"

Seems pretty clear to me. Hull is Hull, right? onyx ³²¹ 07:46, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Other -- trivia?

Methinks it is. onyx ³²¹ 13:24, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, what question are we supposed to be commenting on? Salvidrim! 19:36, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Second that. If you believe the Official Nintendo Magazine § Other to be violating MOS:TRIVIA, you might want to close this RfC and tag it with {{trivia}} instead. Using pretty heavy-weight dispute resolution process without actual dispute is an overkill. Once there would be a dispute, you might still prefer WP:3O instead. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 17:43, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Heck, half of this "problem" section could be deleted without any issues. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:48, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Review scores

The article currently states that 98% was the highest score awarded. This is incorrect. Donkey Kong Country 3 was given 99% in a 1996 issue. I can't remember which issue but I know I still have a copy of it lying around somewhere.

Considering the article states that ONM started 10 years later then that, I'm not sure that information is really relevant. Thanks, DarkToonLink^Heyaah! 07:07, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Club Nintendo

Does anyone remember the original official British magazine, "Club Nintendo"?Halbared (talk) 10:25, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
