:::::: I figured, but should be possible to call appropriate [[Template:GlobalProblems]]|<system> inside Problems template using the matching system type the game page is using. I can't figure how to retrieve system type from Category:<system> from game page which would've left least editable to the general editors & pure automatic if implemented correctly. If that's not possible, maybe try make use of |type= parameter... IDK. Last resort is to duplicate [[Template:Problems]] codes into [[Template:GlobalProblems]]|<system> templates under a new template name and don't let VC pages have [[Template:Problems]].

::::::: The point isn't whether it's possible or not (it certainly is), the point is that I see no reason to merge those sections nor I think they should be merged. The current separation is already clear enough (Global problems edited at a specific place which reflects on all game pages of that platform vs Problems specific to that game page) and works well enough. Doing what you're suggesting would just require extra work, would make problems editing more confusing and wouldn't provide any advantage compared to the current setup. If all you want is to take advantage of accurately problem state tracking in the categories (which is the main advantage of {{tl|Problems}} BTW) it can be ported directly to {{tl|GlobalProblems}} (and I already have plans to do so). Just don't expect both sections being merged because I won't do that, at least not until you provide me a good enough benefit that we'll have if they get merged, compared to the current setup (until now, you haven't provided any). - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) 02:59, 26 November 2016 (CET)

:::::::: I thought you already knew it will benefit of not leaving the Problems section empty or writing some awkward sentence to make it not empty. I didn't think it will require more work from us once the global problems was merged into Problems template. The game list will use familiar Global Problem template while Problems template will call appropriate Global Problem template into the game page. And since you said it's bit confusing, perhaps use comment tags suggesting a way to edit the global problem? If you think this benefit isn't enough then never mind. I'm cool with what we have now.
