I don't think the edits you've been making on the Infobox template will be well supported anyway. We currently only list "Platform" on VC titles, so we would never generate a "Category:Wii titles that use Classic Controller" as there should be no pages that list "Wii" as a platform. In the case of the VC titles, the supported controlled are almost never different, so these categories would just become duplicates of the pre-existing VC categories. In general, if we want something like this, I'd think it might be better to look into adding an [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Category_intersection_extensions "intersection" extension] to the wiki, which would allow for auto-generating sub-categories based on the inclusion of other categories.

:My original intention was to create a list that show all Wii games with controller specific support. For example, "Wii titles that use GameCube Controller". I think it's nice addition to this Dolphin wiki. In earlier edit in sandbox I've added them instead of replacing the existing controller set. It should work out of the box. Then they ultimately replaced them as I think it's bit odd to see like this:

:While I know "GameCube titles that use GameCube Controller" is very silly and redundant, but that can be kept separated from other platforms, and as an replacement for "GameCube Controller (Input supported). Indeed, the current controller categories are a mess at the moment, at least in my perspective. If one user want to view Wii titles that use GameCube Controller, they will have to read through list of irrelevant platforms. Some titles don't use GameCube Controller, while others do, so it's realistic to see platform x controller categories to exist.

Come to think of it, why link to [[:Category:GameCube Controller (Input supported)]] in GameCube game pages? It's sheer obvious that every GameCube titles will use GameCube controllers. They're basically a duplication of GameCube games, with other platforms to emphasize its uselessness.

:I've created "|system=" because due to my limited coding abilities, I can't parse each system into "[SYSTEM] that use [CONTROLLER]", such as if there was Nintendo 64 and Virtual Console in the infobox.
