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 I ultimately replaced them as I think it's bit odd to see like this:

:But since you've deleted the categories that Infobox VG (with my edits) was going to take advantage of, my edits are complete pointless.

Any part of it that you'd like to detract other than the need to update every game pages to take advantage of my changes? [[User:Lucario|Lucario]] ([[User talk:Lucario|talk]]) 00:31, 21 September 2015 (CEST)
:Any part of it that you'd like to detract other than the need to update every game pages to take advantage of my changes? I'm thinking of just add subcategory [[:Category:Wii titles that use GameCube Controller]] to specific Wii game pages that support GameCube controller. Is that cool with you?

Please talk to us before doing big structural changes to the way our templates work... Even I won't change things like that without talking to everyone to make sure they are fine with it! Big changes that effect everything need to be agreed upon. Btw, if the idea is to allow for cross referencing of controllers, a plugin would be great for that! - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 19:56, 20 September 2015 (CEST)
