One other thing this template may need to account for would be accreditation. In general we try to avoid such, but a few folks have thrown major fits over their codes being credited to them.

:We could just follow GeckoCodes.org's naming scheme, they have hacker's name as part of name of the code, for example, "60 FPS [Lucario]". I'd rather not to implement some kind of credit system to this template. [[User:Lucario|Lucario]] ([[User talk:Lucario|talk]]) 00:09, 4 January 2018 (CET) | |||

:Well if there's no good standard identifier that will work in all cases then it seemed like it should just take anything. From that you could still add back in checks using regex later if you wanted. Though right now it has no limit on how many codes it can take and they're ordered horizontally, so the codes may look squished if there's more than 3 or 4. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 10:32, 3 January 2018 (CET) | :Well if there's no good standard identifier that will work in all cases then it seemed like it should just take anything.

::Well, I'm not used to GameID as header of the code table. Maybe I'm just too used to the likes of "NTSC" and "PAL". I think those disc revision could be merged into NTSC column as part of title of the code. [[User:Lucario|Lucario]] ([[User talk:Lucario|talk]]) 00:09, 4 January 2018 (CET) | |||

If you want to turn gecko codes into a template (not a bad idea), it might be good if you're going to try and integrate quality checks to hook it into [[Template:Problems/GC Widescreen Auto]] and [[Template:Problems/GC Widescreen 16-9]]. If the game supports 16:9 already but also has widescreen codes for whatever reason, then the template should generate flags to show that the widescreen gecko codes aren't needed. That would give the template tangible benefits rather than just style compared to the current way of doing it. I don't know how to handle that with Wii though, but I don't really know how widespread the creation/desire for widescreen Wii codes is when most games already support it (I think?). - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 04:17, 30 December 2017 (CET) | If you want to turn gecko codes into a template (not a bad idea), it might be good if you're going to try and integrate quality checks to hook it into [[Template:Problems/GC Widescreen Auto]] and [[Template:Problems/GC Widescreen 16-9]].

:Good idea, if this new template is going to make it to game pages then we can add additional qualility checks regarding games that already support widescreen. We may like another category for whether it's used in Wii game pages.
