Should the theory channels get their own page now when MatPat has retired form them?

He dosen't work on them anymore so there is no point in linking the channels to him. Bonnie198387 (talk) 12:54, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MatPat's Full Retirement

So, MatPat retired FULLY from GTLive a month ago, but no one seemed to care. Can someone please update it? GuysIamReal (talk) 09:02, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't say Mat is retired because he is still running the LoreFi channel. Anonymous29345 (talk) 14:49, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 11 January 2025

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at MatPat. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

in the part in the begining of the article it says "He is the creator and former host of the YouTube series Game Theory, and its spin-off series Film Theory, Food Theory, and Style Theory," were it says series i believe would be better if it says channel, so it would read "He is the creator and former host of the YouTube channel Game Theory, and its spin-off channels Film Theory, Food Theory, and Style Theory," Somkdetector (talk) 02:31, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
