Infobox Clean Up
Thanks for looking into the infobox clean up. It would be good if you can also help note/fill in missing GameIDs as you go, see my prior edit related to Cooking Mama: World Kitchen. Kolano (talk) 06:23, 27 November 2016 (CET)


 * Yeah I can do that. Is there anything that has to be done manually for the ID to show up in the infobox, or is simply making the redirect enough and then it'll come up automatically? I'm not too familiar with the GameID system on the wiki. - Xerxes (talk) 06:42, 27 November 2016 (CET)


 * Simply creating the appropriate redirect will show them. The GameIDs page provides some details on how GameIDs work that should help in identifying missing or inappropriate ones. Kolano (talk) 00:48, 28 November 2016 (CET)

XYZ Region GameIDs
Here's a DLP to pull the full set of currently registered XYZ region GameIDs...

There a way to list this alphabetically so I can keep track of my position easier? I can't do wiki magic lol..

I got it to order by last edit which works too. So nevermind on that one. - Xerxes (talk) 18:29, 30 November 2016 (CET)


 * There's more of these than I expected starting out and I keep finding more. The X is the most common, used to denote different language PAL releases, so noting those has become pretty mechanical. Sometimes it's used instead of P for the only EU release of a title which is nonsense. The Y/Z are much rarer and are always (? nope) used for even more PAL languages; the logic here seems to be avoiding having one giant menu of languages for a standardized European release. I even found a U in there for a retail Wii game, maybe to denote Australia since that game seems to break the mold of AUS release being the exact same disc as the Brit release. When I'm done looking at all of these and have a good deal of the infoboxes looked at, I'll look into other non-WiiWare U IDs. - Xerxes (talk) 08:47, 8 December 2016 (CET)
