The infobox looks odd with MonoBook skin, is there any good solution for this line... --BB 21:39, 14 August 2006 (CDT)


 * I've fixed it now, pretty much. The font size still isn't the same as BlueCloud's, but other than that I think it's fine. GarrettTalk

Other headings
Might I suggest adding optional Version and Input headings. Actually, quite a few of the headings from Wikibooks:wikipedia:Template:Infobox_CVG would probably be useful. -- Prod 23:13, 13 September 2006 (CDT)


 * I can't see much point in them. For most games we have here, there is only going to be one version (console games don't have versioned releases), and we're more a wiki for game guides, rather than game information. If you feel strongly about this, bring it up in community issues, otherwise, I'd just mention those pieces of information in the introductory text on the game's main guide page. --DrBob (Talk) 11:59, 14 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Actually console games used to have versions, though usually thats minor bug fixes, so not really important. However, adding them as optional headings (like requirements) wouldn't really get in the way of anyone else. -- Prod 13:02, 14 September 2006 (CDT)


 * Go ahead, then. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 13:53, 14 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Is there any reason not to copy wikibooks:wikipedia:Template:Infobox_CVG and change some of the heading names (or since we don't have #if this older version)
 * I think our current one is fine, unless you think we could add some headings? --DrBob (Talk) 13:34, 1 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Most of the optional stuff, much of which is only useful for PC games. -- Prod 13:36, 1 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Do you feel up to adding them? Make sure to make them optional using qif. --DrBob (Talk) 14:47, 1 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Done -- Prod 20:49, 1 October 2006 (CDT)

Interesting, switch to monobook and check out a page that includes this, then go back to bluecloud. Why do you think the monobook has a full line break? -- Mason11987 (Talk - Contributions) 00:38, 2 October 2006 (CDT)

Please add EOCS ratings
EOCS ratings are: General, R, and 18+. Thank you. -Afker 02:43, 25 February 2007 (CST)
 * Done. Use the "EOCS" parameter with G, R, or 18. :-) --DrBob (Talk) 05:55, 25 February 2007 (CST)

ELSPA
I'm sorry, can someone change the ELSPA so it is right, our own article asys it has an 11+ category but there is nothing there, the pics are new PEGI ones, I'm doing this for Black and White so I'll leave it for a bit but can you please change it or get rid of it?--Rocky http://media.strategywiki.org/images/thumb/7/78/Rally-X_Rock.png/25px-Rally-X_Rock.png (Talk - Contributions) 18:01, 23 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Good point. I'll change it now.  Do you know if there were images to go along with it? -- Prod (Talk) 18:38, 23 March 2007 (CDT)
 * This is the only reference I have for current ELSPA images/rating categories: http://www.elspa.com/docs/aag_leaflet_artwork.pdf sucks don't it? --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 01:21, 24 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Those are the new PEGI images (mixed in with BBFC???) :/. -- Prod (Talk) 02:17, 24 March 2007 (CDT)
 * I assume they are the same since the leaflet (the first link I gave) has advertisements for askaboutgames.com which when scrolling to the bottom has the same images with links that say "elspa.com/rating/" followed by the rating, 3, 7,12,16, etc. After following one (http://www.elspa.com/rating/7.htm), a better account is made that both the ELSPA and PEGI have the same ratings now. (See the notices about PEGI and both banners in the bottom right.  Hope my deduction is correct.  According to Wikipedia, as I said, it's the same http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELSPA --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 10:17, 24 March 2007 (CDT)
