::::: 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 actual information itself. Since this wiki is an information resource, auto-generating 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]]

I think it is an overkill to enlist each game. Especially because those lists are not correct. I.e. many games were ported to more than one version of SPUTM engine, and thus, they have different list of files. I would do it this way: add something like "Generic HE game" and enlist there *.HE?, *.(a), .(b). And then for several games like mustard add additional entry which enlists special resources and/or directories. --[[User:Sev|Sev]] 11:36, 9 April 2007 (CEST)
