Good luck creating video game characters and items pages on Wikipedia instead of using a seperate wiki.

Like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_Strife or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crono?

Seems to be possible but those are backed up by 3rd party citations.

Nah, not like that.

Like this:

https://fallout.wiki/wiki/Sergeant_RL-3

https://minecraft.wiki/w/Amethyst_Shard

Wikipedia is indeed a place to collect factual information but their scope has limitations to it.

You mean where the sole citations are the game itself and the official game guide? I wrote "backed up by 3rd party citations" for a reason.
