Description

The purpose of this template is to group generic information for games on a game's page.

Arguments
  • title
Optional. Add if game title is stylized in some way and therefore varies from page name.
  • cover
Just put the cover in there.
  • developers
All information included under this argument must be related to developers and porters of the particular game. Possible rows include:
{{Infobox game/row/developer|1|2}}
This row defines Property:Developed by. The first argument should contain the name of the developer, and the second, if necessary, a subtitle as to what the developer was responsible for.
{{Infobox game/row/winporter|1}}
This row defines Property:Ported to Windows by. The only argument should contain the name of the porter.
{{Infobox game/row/osxporter|1}}
This row defines Property:Ported to OS X by. The only argument should contain the name of the porter.
{{Infobox game/row/linporter|1}}
This row defines Property:Ported to Linux by. The only argument should contain the name of the porter.
  • publishers
All information included under this argument must be related to publishers of the game. Possible rows include:
{{Infobox game/row/publisher|1|2}}
This row defines Property:Published by. The first argument should contain the name of the publisher, and the second, if necessary, a subtitle specifying the region or the OS the publisher was responsible for.
  • engines
All information included under this argument must be related to engines used in the game. Possible rows include:
{{Infobox game/row/engine|1|2}}
This row defines Property:Uses engine. The first argument should contain the name of the engine used, and the second, if necessary, what component was it responsible for.
  • release dates
All information included under this argument must be related to release dates of the game. Possible rows include:
{{Infobox/game/row/date|1|2}}
The first property should define the OS the date is related to. Possible options include:
DOS - defines Property:Release date DOS;
Windows - defines Property:Release date Windows;
OS X - defines Property:Release date OS X. Remember that OS X isn't the same thing as Mac OS!
Linux - defines Property:Release date Linux
Mac OS - defines Property:Release date Mac OS. Remember that Mac OS isn't the same thing as OS X!
other - defines Property:Release date Other and Property:Release date Other label. This is in case the above options do not cover the system in question. If used often enough, please raise the question of inclusion of the additional release date in the forums.
The second property should specify the date the game was released on the system in question. The date must be in a valid format to be recognized ("21 February 2001", "February 21, 2001", "2001", "February 2001" and additionally "TBA" will work but will not define a property).
