To mimic other templates, how about we change "true" to "yes"? "true" makes sense to programmers but not as much to the average editor. Gary King (talk)03:54, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Could the Mac be considered a console? I'm working on a PC game article with a Mac port, and toying with the idea of adding a Mac column in the reviews infobox. Maybe not important enough, but if anyone has any thoughts about it, don't be shy. — Levi van Tine (t – c)16:32, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think it would be a good idea to add a "general" console for reviews that cover the game in general, not on a specific system. Or at least a way to merge cells in the row of that reviewer. Tezkag72 (talk) 14:48, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I totally agree. I am not sure how to do it, but maybe if, for example, there was a reviewer ABC. ABC only reviewed the game, not the game on a console. If we could set up a parameter for "|ABC=X/Z" which would count the number of consoles in use: "*", apply a colspan="*". I think that would work. BOVINEBOY200814:58, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
After merging some articles I noticed that we cannot add awards. For the article in question, I decided it wasn't nessasary because it wasn't a major award, but in the future there may be those. If it cannot be done with this template, we should have one that can be wrapped with this template.陣内Jinnai17:09, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
They are basically so bad they've been ruled like IMDB that determining what, if anything, is reliable has been so tainted by unreliable user submitted content that it is impossible to tell. Therefore nothing on the site is reliable, although you can still link to the site as an external link.陣内Jinnai23:44, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've added iOS to the template. I've checked it out with some test edits, and I think it's all okay, so someone who knows more about this material can probably confirm that for certain. 86.45.58.68 (talk) 08:40, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Could someone add VITA & documents
There isn't a table for what code is what. For some it is easy to see others it isn't. So can someone update the documents to show a table of what is what. And also add VITA. ThanksCky2250 (talk) 13:05, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
the handiest thing for you to do would simply be to revert my edit and check it out yourself, I'd recommend the first Dark Alliance game as your test because that has four platforms in it. That way you could see exactly what's wrong. If you can't fix it though don't forget to revert your revert. Bertaut (talk) 04:10, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Found some spare time to look at the code and I have to say LOL. I found the problem. On the page true is spelled True. The code is case sensitive. I will remove this to make it idiot proof.Cky2250 (talk) 00:12, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Haha. That is pretty funny. Well, the pages it was broken on are all fine now. As regards your question, not really, I think it works pretty well as it is. The only minor thing I would say is when I first started using it, I found it a little strange that it puts the Aggregate scores at the bottom, whereas the single platform table puts them at the top. But that's nothing major, and I got used to it. Bertaut (talk) 00:22, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I can move it to the top. I think it should be there as well, since aggregated scores holds all of the information about all of the reviews. Users would want to see that first. But on the other hand it looks like an excel sheet when it is at the bottom.Cky2250 (talk) 01:14, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
