==Overview==
This template is used in game pages. If you are creating a new page, you must include only basic info and emulation related details. Some tags also need some rules, listed below:
*<tt>|title =</tt> always will be the American game title (page title also must be the same), unless the game was not released in the USA. Japan-exclusive titles should use their rōmaji transliterations.
*<tt>|image =</tt> must have the thumbnail size tag based on software type. We use 300px size for GameCube and Wii games, 350px size for Wii Channels  screenshots and 175px size for WiiWare titles. If you image doesn't resize, only add some garbage in the end of tag such as the image name (for example <nowiki>[[File:FlingSmash.jpg‎|300px|</nowiki>'''FlingSmash''']]).
*<tt>|developer =</tt> must include only the developer of Dolphin emulated platforms (for example, the Playstation 2 and Xbox version of Mortal Kombat Armageddon was developed by Midway but the Wii version was developed by Just Games Interactive, so in this case we include only Just Games Interactive).
*<tt>|publisher =</tt> and <tt>|released =</tt> must use the VGrelease template (for example, on Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins Of The Moon, the publisher tag use <tt><nowiki>{{vgrelease|JP=Namco Bandai Games|NA=Xseed Games|EU=Rising Star Games}}</nowiki></tt> and released tag use <tt><nowiki>{{vgrelease|JP=January 22, 2009 |NA=March 16, 2010 |EU=March 19, 2010}}</nowiki></tt>).
*<tt>|compatibility =</tt> ALWAYS need to point to the Ratings template. (for example, <tt><nowiki>{{RatingsGC|name=Gamecube game name}}</nowiki></tt>,<tt><nowiki>{{RatingsWii|name=Wii game name}}</nowiki></tt>, <tt><nowiki>{{RatingsWW|name=WiiWare game name}}</nowiki></tt>, <tt><nowiki>{{RatingsVC|name=Virtual Console game name}}</nowiki></tt> or <tt><nowiki>{{RatingsWC|name=Wii Channel name}}</nowiki></tt> and NEVER inline rating such as <tt><nowiki>{{rating|4}}</nowiki></tt>).
 
==Reference pages==
You can refer to the pages below, all are using the appropriate rules and fields:
*[[Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins Of The Moon]]
*[[Disc Channel]]
*[[Adventure Island: The Beginning]]</noinclude>

About

Infobox VG is used on all game pages to display a title's compatibility rating along with various other information, including the title's GameIDs, release dates, and box art. Categories are also generated depending on the parameters to indicate information about the title, and flag parts of the infobox that may need improvement. When creating a new page, the infobox should be fleshed out with as much release information as possible.

Example

The following parameters are considered required on all pages: 

{{Infobox VG
|image     =
|developer =
|publisher =
|released  =
|genre     =
|modes     =
|input     =
|forumlink =
}}
