Swapping to #ifexist did [https://i.gyazo.com/e6b54ec1b6337189893ac6eaa529115a.png remove all the warnings] caused by infobox, but it also [https://i.gyazo.com/fbc88a2eb3517fcdc5aa1dcc93bdcef6.png breaks wanted pages]. There's a bit of a pro/con situation here and it's hard to choose which is better. {{tl|exist}} is a lot slower than #ifexist [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Exists#Efficiency] and throws those MediaWiki warnings, but wanted pages works ok, and the MediaWiki warning category can be marked hidden. #ifexist is faster, keeps the warning working as intended without cluttering the category unnecessarily, but breaks wanted pages. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 03:45, 22 July 2017 (CEST)

:If nothing else works, we could always be more traditional and replace that code into actual parameter, then list alternative system version of the same game in each infobox. It'll even add non-existent page to the Wanted list if we so choose too. This seems manageable, there aren't many games to update and we have almost completed game list if not already.
