=== Game Page Status Template ===
=== Game Page Status Template ===
We should probably generate a template to track "completion" and frequency of different tasks for game pages, it could exist on each page's talk page and assist with maintenance. I'd like some help to scope such out here.

:How are we supposed to do this exactly? I don't understand the mechanics of what you are trying to accomplish. What level of automation would be involved, and how much work does it take of an editor to fulfill everything? - [[User:MayImilae|MayImilae]] ([[User talk:MayImilae|talk]]) 00:26, 1 February 2013 (CET)

::This has been started at [[Template:Page Status]]. It's nowhere near complete though, it just shows that it's possible. It's actually fairly easy to automate finding missing sections, though the regex can behave kind of weird (pulling in garbage sometimes, transclusion errors?). Since the actual output isn't required, just existence or nonexistence, it still works ok. When I made it I didn't realize that this was on Project:To Do, so I didn't see the following section of suggestions, or the previous DPLs that accomplish a lot of the same things. I still don't really understand how some of these are supposed to be handled. The infobox information has to be confirmed by hand, and Kolano and I were the only people who ever did it, so that seems pretty pointless for the template. There's other things where it's like, if someone's going to report about it, they could instead just fix it themselves rather quickly, like the title's description can easily be copy/pasted from GameFAQs by anyone. Anything else I thought was questionable or I would like expansion on, I marked with a (?) in the list below. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 02:31, 21 August 2017 (CEST)


====Proposed "Game Page Status" Template Fields ====
====Proposed "Game Page Status" Template Fields ====
*Developer is accurate
*Publisher is accurate
*Release dates are accurate
*Modes are accurate
*Genre is accurate (unclear about this one, I fear it may lead to fights about genre labels, but I'd also like to avoid mislabeled games)
*Series is accurate
*Rating is accurate for revision XXX
*Navigation template is in place if appropriate (default to NA)
*Navigation template is in place if appropriate (default to NA)
*Page includes a full set of sections (Adding in the Gameplay Images sections will be a big part of this)
*Page includes a full set of sections
*Title applied if page title post-fixed (i.e. GC/Wii indicators)(default to NA)
*Title applied if page title post-fixed (i.e. GC/Wii indicators)(default to NA)
*Description is: accurate, brief, provides info beyond what's found in the infobox.
*Compatibility checked in version XXX (Unclear if we shouldn't just use the testing field for this though).
*Forumlink is in place
*Forumlink is in place
*Wikipedia link in functional/accurate: Date of last review
*Wikipedia link is functional/accurate: Date of last review
*Date of last forum page review
*Date of last forum page review
*Date of last Google issues scan (unclear this shouldn't just be handled with more regular review of the Google issues list, see section below)
*Date of last issue tracker scan (unclear this shouldn't just be handled with more regular review of the issues list, see section below)
*Linkages to patches, texture packs, etc are in place and still valid (We still need to work out how to handle these generally, I think it's typically in an arbitrary section before Problems)
*Display and track unconfirmed [[GameIDs]]
*Linkages to patches, texture packs, etc are in place and still valid
:: The "Patches" section in [[Xenoblade Chronicles]] is something like this. We could adopt this as template (and then add this in [[Project:Wiki Conventions]]) [[User:mbc07|mbc07]] ([[User talk:mbc07|talk]])

...please add other suggestions...
*(?)Infobox contains accurate information regarding the game (zero way to automate, unless we started doing cross site stuff with databases)
*(?)Description is: accurate, brief, provides info beyond what's found in the infobox (if you notice it's bad, just copy paste from gamefaqs? this seems really slow and pointless)
*(?)Time since last compatibility check (there is currently an implementation of this in the testing template)
*(?)Rating is accurate for revision XXX (how? just look for the words "playable"/"perfect"/"ingame" in test entries or something? what's the purpose of that?)
