<s>I could ask delroth</s> I asked delroth about making a script for putting the global problems template into every VC game page. As soon as we get thing settled on how it should be used, he should be able to commit the global problems to every VC game page. To that end we might want to double check as make sure all the virtual console games are in [[:Category:Virtual Console]], as that's what I was going to suggest he use (unless you guys have a better idea?). As for the options, I vote for the first one. A "global problems" section in each game would be better; having the global problems inline could cause some confusion. - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 09:35, 3 August 2013 (CEST)

Ok, if we're going to use the first suggestion, we'll need to add the following in every VC game page:
<pre>
{{GlobalProblems/<system>}} <!-- To edit the <system> VC Global Problems, navigate to "Template:GlobalProblems/<system>" (copy to the search box)-->
</pre>
This way I can code the template to only show the Global Problems section if there are global problems for that platform so I can get rid of the <no problems placeholder> -- any objections?
About the automation, I'm unsure if we can use [[:Category:Virtual Console]], because the text above changes from platform to platform... We need to replace <system> with N64 in N64 VC game pages, SNES in SNES, etc. Do we have category based on platform for the VC titles? If this doesn't work, I'm ok in doing this manually (we haven't a lot of VC game pages created, anyway)
Furthermore, the global problems will be shown before or after the specific problems? I think before is better, so we have Global Problems section (it'll show only if there are at least one global problem for that platform), and after that, the regular Problems section like we have now. What do you guys think? [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]])
