::: Of course, the GlobalProblems template and its subtemplates for each VC system are very important to have, but with them around, this template isn't much to me. I don't think the loss would be too devastating with this template purged either. For example, it's going to be extraordinary for us to even find issue that applies to all Virtual Console either way, and even if so, the GlobalProblems for each VC system can relay the duplicate problem information into game pages pretty well. I had the urge feel to purge out [[Virtual Console#Virtual Console Global Problems]] to feel consistent with [[Main Page]]... well, idk.

:::: If that's your only motivation for purging this template, I still prefer making it hidden by default (just like in the game pages), adding the section in [[Virtual Console]] only when we have active entries than completely purging it. It's actually very easy to do that. - [[User:mbc07|mbc07]] ([[User talk:mbc07|talk]]) 05:11, 16 August 2017 (CEST) | :::: If that's your only motivation for purging this template, I still prefer making it hidden by default (just like in the game pages), adding the section in [[Virtual Console]] only when we have active entries than completely purging it.

:::::You could make GlobalProblems completely consistent on platform pages with the way it works on game pages like [https://pastebin.com/mQ8hfneP this], only adding a header when necessary, or just remove the header from [[Virtual Console]] only and add a check to GlobalProblems to add it back when there's a problem, like [https://pastebin.com/kE7935p2 this]. The first one seems cleaner to me than page specific behavior. Actually if you make the behavior the same between both types of pages, you could collapse a lot of this code. You could take out the whole switch statement and page type checks and just have [https://pastebin.com/ | :::::You could make GlobalProblems completely consistent on platform pages with the way it works on game pages like [https://pastebin.com/mQ8hfneP this], only adding a header when necessary, or just remove the header from [[Virtual Console]] only and add a check to GlobalProblems to add it back when there's a problem, like [https://pastebin.com/kE7935p2 this].

I kind of understand removing it since it's been empty for [https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Template:GlobalProblems/Virtual_Console&diff=70176&oldid=69962 four years] and the Virtual Console page looks a little less attractive with the blank header, but since there were actual global VC problems in the past which spurred having this template, conceivably it could happen again. I'm not really in a position to make a prediction like that, though. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 09:31, 15 August 2017 (CEST) | I kind of understand removing it since it's been empty for [https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Template:GlobalProblems/Virtual_Console&diff=70176&oldid=69962 four years] and the Virtual Console page looks a little less attractive with the blank header, but since there were actual global VC problems in the past which spurred having this template, conceivably it could happen again.
