Template talk:Beta

There has to be at least some data on the RS (FRLG?) beta and DP beta. TTEchidna 09:04, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Can someone change it to "Prototype" in the template's header please? MK 03:44, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Beta refers to them in the stage of development that they're advertised in. When we got the Platinum reveal, all those screenshots were from the beta. The public never gets pre-beta stuff unless there are leaks OR someone STEALS it (cough Sonic 2). TTEchidna 07:45, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Alright, I've decided to move these because really it's the correct term, and who knows when a leak will occur or what development stages these are in. Please edit this template to acomodate that. MK 05:04, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

You wish.--FF(edits-talk) 05:07, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Please don't be hostile like that FF. MK 05:09, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

FF and TTE are right. Sorry to be mean, but "beta" is more right. --Clarky13 05:10, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

By the way, "prototype" refers to the original model, while "beta" refers to the preliminary testing stage. If they were prototypes, then the creators probably wouldn't have the unused data in there, since it's a model for the final product. Beta is the better choice. — eA 05:14, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

But we're talking about more than 1 version, not a specific build of the game. In fact, the articles cover both unused information in the games, which can be from any version, as well as stuff from published media that were unused which could have been in an early alpha stage.
