TaTaCon?
I thought I could quickly add in the TaTaCon controller, but it doesn't seem to be working out. Not clear what's going wrong. Here's an example: Taiko no Tatsujin: Chougoukaban. Kolano (talk) 04:31, 16 June 2019 (CEST)

Namco Bandai Games
In a very very specific situation, where there's both  and   in the same section of an infobox, in that exact order, Namco Bandai Games wont link properly; "Namco" alone gets detected, and the "Bandai Games" part is unlinked. For an example, see Tank Force. Both separately work fine, but only together and in this order does this occur. I think the problem is that the replacement regex is a bit too overzealous and dips into the second vgrelease since it found the word "Namco" in there. - Xerxes (talk) 14:52, 3 September 2017 (CEST)

GameIDs Link
The links we currently provide for GameIDs are just to our internal redirect pages, and thus just loop back to the page one is currently on. Should we revise them to link out to GameTDB or someplace else that provides region specific info on titles? Kolano (talk) 03:10, 20 November 2016 (CET)


 * I like the idea. Redirecting to GameTDB seems doable as well since it's just a matter of passing the Game ID (e.g. http://www.gametdb.com/Wii/)... - mbc07 (talk) 04:20, 20 November 2016 (CET)


 * In the meantime it might be more useful to at least make all the GameID links in the infobox not redirect. I filled in a lot of the pages for weird IDs with some information when I was going through awhile ago (Target/Best Buy special editions, regions of release, game languages etc), and currently there's no way for someone to even know that exists without going out of their way to the ID page with a redirect=no. Those notes were mostly for future editors scratching their heads at the IDs (like I did), but it could give them additional marginal benefits. - Xerxes (talk) 11:22, 30 May 2017 (CEST)

Category:Shared GameIDs
Would we want this category made for games with shared IDs in placement of Category:Disambiguation pages... I have a better idea how to check for shared IDs for the games that need it but will need this category, ideally want to revise to remove the if statement and then add |redirects=include to dpl for abilities to pick up the shared gameids from either redir/non-redir to get along with the non-shared GameIDs especially for Action Replay (GC) to acquire GNHE5d and other games to pick up their shared GameIDs. Though this sounds like it'll create a duplicate GameID problem. But for starter, would this new category be a good Category:Disambiguation pages replacement?
