Template talk:Sidebar videogame

OK, this was a mess... :) I moved the template to a standard title and updated the instances of the template that were already in use. Some used elements that didn't even exist in the template, probably by being copied from Wikipedia? Anyway, before this is used, I think we need to discuss the contents some more. -- Cid Highwind 13:29, 22 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * Great idea! I'd like to help on this.
 * The "system requirements" template obviously does not apply to console games, only PC. Is it possible to do with the current wiki software (a conditional template or something)? Also, it would be nice to have a "Genres" template (genres, as in plural form, allowing more than one to be specified, since there exist games that encompass more than one genre).

"Conditional templates" seem to be possible using some ugly hacks, but those are resource intensive and probably not worth it. At least, I'd rather not use them here, considering some of the Wikipedia discussions related to this. It might be best to just leave that field empty in those cases. Something like "Genre(s)" could be added without problems, though. -- Cid Highwind 21:42, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
