*|series - Series are <nowiki>''italized''</nowiki>.
*<tt>|series = </tt> Series are <nowiki>''italized''</nowiki>.


*|release - Release dates use the {{tl|vgrelease}} template, and should be in chronological order. We cut out any outside systems from our release date entries, as it doesn't matter to us when a game came out on the PS2, for example. Usually we can copy paste these straight off wikipedia, but if the page uses the "vgrelease new" template, it'll have to be adapted.

:The final code for a release date will look something like the below. Note that the last call is disconnected from the others; sometimes it has to be done to keep the list in chronological order.

*|genre - Just get it off wikipedia
*<tt>|genre =</tt> Just get it off wikipedia


*|modes - Simple-player, Multiplayer, Co-op, WFC. That's all the modes we use here. Modes are presented one after another, with a comma between, going through in that order. WFC is of course the "WiFi Connection", the Wii's online system.

*|input - Displays all input combinations, shown with commas inbetween. For example: '''Wii Remote, Wii Remote + Nunchuk, GameCube Controller, Classic Controller'''. Wikipedia doesn't have this information, but a quick google or looking up a review will usually find it very easily. The Wii Zapper, Wii Wheel, and the like are accessories for controllers and not controllers themselves, so they should not be included.

*|forumlink - There is no standard for Forum Links; they are used and not used sporadically throughout the wiki. It replaces the "Search Dolphin Forums" link in the infobox with a specific link to a thread. Whether it's there or not no one really cares, so it is up to the editor. But if you do use it, make sure it points to the right thread.
*<tt>|forumlink =</tt> The forum link directs the user to the forum thread that has the same wiki page embedded within it.
