Template talk:Game

Can someone fix this thing, please? It seems the rating scores appear in the release date area. IfIHaveTo 02:55, 22 November 2007 (EST)

Unforeseen problem
So, uh... hm. It would appear that this new format doesn't easily allow for re-release dates to be listed -- well, if we WERE to list them, it'd look like
 * NA: Month Day, Year (NES) - Month Day, Year (GBA) - Month Day, Year (VC)
 * JP: Month Day, Year (NES) - Month Day, Year (GBA) - Month Day, Year (VC)

So on and so forth. This doesn't look too pretty, at least in my opinion. I looked at how Wikipedia does their listings, and they do them as such:
 * "NES version { {vgrelease|JP=November 21, 1991|NA=April 13, 1992|EU=September 24, 1992}}
 * GBA version { {vgrelease|NA=December 2, 2002|JP=March 14, 2003|EU=March 28, 2003}}"

And so on, with the vgrelease template automatically sorting out the dates like you see on the existing game or system templates here, only sorted by re-release versions. Before moving on, I think I'll re-write the game template to utilize this (the system template doesn't need it as a system is only released once!), as it seems like a good, concise way of doing it. Normally I'd wait for input, but the template's already been re-written and pages are in need of editing. 19:11, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

edit: Scratch that -- not editing the system template as well would only create inconsistencies. So that will be edited as well. 19:14, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
