→Game Page Status Template

My intention was really for some sort of manual review to be established, beyond just establishing that a few fields were present. I'm not clear the current template accomplishes much that couldn't be handled via some additions to output similar categories in the infobox template (oe as already seen here). I'm guessing it's a heavier query, so perhaps it is better to restrict it to talk pages. Though I'd guess pre-generation/caching would mean there's little real difference.

:Well, if this template is planned for mass addition when it's completed, <i>all</i> of the error handling and maintenance categories for the different templates could theoretically be moved to Page Status. The intention was mostly to show that that sort of thing would be possible, missing sections isn't really that useful of an application. User-input sections like "I fixed this on this date" would be trivial to add, just something like |infobox=timestamp, then have some check that infobox exists, and if it does output "This page's infobox was last checked on timestamp", if not "This page's infobox has not been checked". I don't know about date handling tools available in particular, but that seems like a common operation so I'd be surprised if they weren't included with MediaWiki. I know there's magic words related to it. | |||
:The one thing that's actually completely functional in the template is the unconfirmed ID reporting, so if the rest falls through, there's potential to just keep that as its own template for tracking IDs. I intentionally did that part first and fully fleshed it out because I wanted it the most, and it has immediate application without requiring mass editing. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 06:34, 21 August 2017 (CEST) | |||
