Template talk:Release

Maybe it would be better to make the order free, so that the regions can be sorted by release date. Something like. Would be better for games like Mario Smash Football. It could work with #switch-commands - 16:17, 14 September 2008 (EDT)

The template I have transfered here with a few tweaks was sort of a rush. So there's room for improvements by observing how Wikipedia goes with the flow with their own piece. What do you mean exactly? I think there is a limitation with your concept, the flag images. How to insert them properly?

I think it would work. I haven't tested it yet. - 16:37, 14 September 2008 (EDT)

Ah, let's test it in the test room. Maybe yours. My test room is full of beta stuff to experiment, XP See User:RAP/test if you are curious enough to know what I'm doing. The last section, the updated interface from Game Sightings is in the process of making it to the final version, adding info there. :P Before I start going off-topic, let's test this concept rawr. Some people believe this wiki is corrupted. ;o


 * I think I might have it. Check here, and it turns out like this. 16:54, 14 September 2008 (EDT)

The concept (Cobold's idea) you tested (SR) is not good as I felt, unless it had something that is better than the other version; the original concept doesn't repeatedly use the template repeatedly. Here's a piece of the example of how it normally looks like when used whole:

Basically it can be slotted in any order regardless within lack of repeation of the other concept. (See coding SR linked into, test and test template for details) Any comments or anything? XP School's tommorrow, :<


 * Possibly take that back from that previous comment, SR had talked to me about this in my talk page, the concept is using just one template for all the entries. Should be good, wondering how it will work. ;) But it seems SR is still working on it. Gonna do the ironing.

If this concept is too bothersome, the current state of the template can be used, no problem with that. - 17:36, 14 September 2008 (EDT)

Good job doing this, everyone! :) 20:30, 14 September 2008 (EDT)

N/A
N/A means not applicable, not "Not available." So, is it really wise to use it when you don't have information about a particular release date region? It makes it seem like the title wasn't released instead of us just not having the info. "???" Might be better. 00:34, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * True. I didn't think about that. You could also try "Unkown", rather than "???". 00:39, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Either way. :) 10:39, 16 September 2008 (EDT)

North America
Since Canada gets games the same as the United States does, it makes sense to bundle them together as North America in this template. I don't know what kind of flag we could use to represent the continent, though. -- Kamek at the disco 03:26, 12 October 2008 (EDT)
 * I don't really mind, and I'm Canadian aswell. Well, we can't have two flags in one, so I think we should leave it.
 * There was a proposal on the subject, and no one seemed to mind the USA covering the release dates for Canada as well. 04:15, 12 October 2008 (EDT)
 * US/CAN release dates differed for this game, right? 15:44, 12 October 2008 (EDT)
