• ... that Youtube Personality MatPat once gifted a copy of Undertale to Pope Francis, connecting the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy with the game's theme of mercy? Source: https://www.polygon.com/2016/7/6/12105428/pope-undertale-youtuber
  • Comment: I have never created a nomination like this before, I probably did it wrong and apologize in advance.

• Hi Cassie Schebel, thanks for your interest in DYK! Unfortunately, the Undertale article is not eligible. According to the DYK rules, articles can only be nominated if they meet one of the following criteria: (1) created or moved to mainspace in the past seven days; (2) prose text expanded at least 5x in the past seven days; or (3) promoted to Good Article status in the past seven days. Since Undertale was already promoted to Good Article in 2016, it can't be nominated at this time. Let me know if you have any questions! DanCherek (talk) 14:36, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

10th Anniversary Stream

What was the reason for deleting the section on the 10th Anniversary stream? The release of new content, battles, and music for the game is absolutely relevant and worthy of inclusion, especially if events such as the 5th anniversary concert receive mentions in the article. I feel that the quote from Fox is potentially superfluous, but provides good insight towards his attitude towards the community and encouraging fans to create additional content, AUs, etc. for the game. If it is poorly cited, then why delete the entire section rather than edit the article with better sources? Selina Dedalus (talk) 01:58, 23 September 2025 (UTC)

Maybe a sentence or two describing the new content cited to reliable sources, but a whole paragraph is excessive IMO.  novov talk edits 22:55, 23 September 2025 (UTC)

The following is the edit summary from the removal of this section, "Poorly cited section that doesn't really add anything constructive to this article. Not worthy of inclusion" and i agree with him. 1timeuse75 (talk) 12:32, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Why? The release of new battles, content, and music seems significant at minimum. It makes sense why content such as the Spamton Sweepstakes is not included in the Deltarune page since it merely concerns teasers for upcoming content, but the release of original content makes it relevant of mention on a comprehensive encyclopedia about the topic. Selina Dedalus (talk) 22:37, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

What determines of something is significant is generally not up to editor discretion. It is dependent on the sourcing, and how much weight the sources give towards those things. From what I can see, only one reliable source has discussed the contents of the stream at all . But it isn't exactly significant enough for a section as its one of the classic articles that mainly regurgitate their points from social media posts. It doesn't really say much at all. I would estimate maybe one or two sentences would be worthy of inclusion in the article regarding it at best. These things may be significant to the fandom, but not in an encyclopedic overview on the topic. I maintain my stance that the content is not worthy of being in the article. λ NegativeMP1 22:49, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Fair enough. Selina Dedalus (talk) 23:21, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

Asgore did not declare war after Asriel's death

Please someone fix this. I can't make significant changes to the article, because I haven't actually played the game, but I know this fact is horribly wrong. Fireflame888888 (talk) 05:51, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

It's not wrong. I have played the game multiple times, he declared war. λ NegativeMP1 06:05, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

He declared the war, but not before Asriel died. The text implies the barrier existed before the war. Fireflame888888 (talk) 07:21, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

There were two separate wars that happened. The first one started for (as far as I'm aware) unknown reasons, and led to the monsters getting trapped underground by the barrier. The second war was declared after the humans killed Asriel and is why Asgore started collecting the human souls. λ NegativeMP1 08:15, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

Really? I didn't know that. It makes sense now though. Fireflame888888 (talk) 07:36, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

This is true, look it up. play the game. Watch a walkthrough. ~2026-17497-36 (talk) 20:26, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

your wrong, i'm telling what to what's right. ~2026-17497-36 (talk) 20:27, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Add "(stylized as UNDERTALE)" at the beginning

The game is called UNDERTALE in all caps on their official website (https://undertale.com/), their YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@UNDERTALEOfficial), their Twitter (https://twitter.com/undertale) and their Spotify album (https://open.spotify.com/album/2M2Ae2SvZe3fmzUtlVOV5Z)

The same applies to DELTARUNE Slim Dread (talk) 14:13, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

I believe the more common thing on Wikipedia would be "(stylized in all uppercase)". I'll go ahead and add that to this article. Deltarune is a little different, since the logo does not have this stylization. Feel free to suggest the change on that article's talk page if you feel it's warranted, though! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 14:18, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

That is correct, even though on the official website it's referred to as "DELTARUNE", the Deltarune logo itself is stylized in all lowercase. Thank you for the edit and mention. Slim Dread (talk) 16:59, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
