:::::: Well, a category with supported/non-supported games would be cool, to make things more organized. Another idea is to check if the "Support" bit is set. If it's not, then we could automatically set it to "Not supported" or something, and hide the datafiles link. In any case, the automatic creation of certain things is certainly useful, and it'll be good if some information could be filled in automatically (e.g. if the publisher is empty, set it to be equal to the developer) --[[User:Md5|Md5]] 13:16, 5 April 2007 (CEST) | :::::: Well, a category with supported/non-supported games would be cool, to make things more organized.

:::::: There is already an 'Unsupported Games' category on the wiki, so might as well add an 'Supported Games' category too. [[User:Kirben|Kirben]] | |||
::::: Remove the auto-generated links (for required data files) from the template, a link shouldn't be displayed at all, for games which currently don't have details available or for games which aren't supported. The use of templates is good for having a standard layout in specific areas of the wiki, but shouldn't be used for auto-generating the information itself. Since this wiki is an information resource, auto-generatoring the information, makes it much easier for errors to be displayed. It would be simpler to add links (for required data files) manually, if you still want to go ahead with adding links on each game's page. [[User:Kirben|Kirben]] | |||
