Cleanup
This has been in "Cleanup" since 2008, with the note in the cleanup tag as follows: "Game Aids are a separate article from rules. They are physical items sold by the various publishers of the game. Rules and concepts should be moved to a different, new category, or outright removed". Rather than remove the cleanup tag, I am putting the note here so in 2022 we can discuss what we want to do with this category.--Talvin (talk) 10:23, 19 March 2022 (EDT)
- Talvin, Thanks for your note. Some progress was made on this back in 2021. The definition of Game Aids is intertwined with the definition of many of the product categories. For a page regarding the more general issue (and more top down classifcation approach), see Product Type Classification Tree and Talk:Product Type Classification Tree. --Dude RB (talk) 12:21, 19 March 2022 (EDT)

- Mind-reading from from the past decade is always a challenging endeavor. :-) In this case, I think that the issue was that the cateogry was being used for game rules as well as for products that would be properly termed games aids. [This is the conclusion I came to in reading through the pages listed here. But when I checked the clean-up tag I learned that it was added three years ago and its stated reason was this conflation between game rules pages and game aid pages. Perhaps I should have read the clean-up note in the page code first.]
- I have since recategorized the game rules articles under their own (new) category Category:Game Rules and added an official definition for Game Aids. This appears to resolve the clean-up tag regarding this page and thus I have removed it. --Dude RB (talk) 15:15, 19 March 2022 (EDT)
