For templates to use in the ''released'' parameter, see [[:Category:Release date templates]]. For templates to use in the ''ratings'' parameter, see [[:Category:Rating templates]]. The ''requirements'' parameter should only contain a call to ''pcreq'', whose usage is explained [[Template:Pcreq|here]].
For templates to use in the ''ratings'' parameter, see [[:Category:Rating templates]].
 
Note that you shouldn't include data (such as release dates, consoles, etc.) for the game as part of a compilation. This data should be put in the ''compilation's'' infobox. Additionally, you should only fill out the "input" parameter of the infobox if it's non-standard for the consoles on which the game runs — for example, if the game uses a custom controller.


Note that you shouldn't include data (such as release dates, consoles, etc.) for the game as part of a compilation. This data should be put in the ''compilation's'' infobox. Additionally, you should only fill out the "media" and "input" parameters of the infobox if they're non-standard for the consoles on which the game runs — for example, if the game uses a custom controller. Finally, do not put "custom" as the "engine" parameter, as that tells nobody anything.
If the game had an different editions released, without significant gameplay differences, you can include details on each additional release with a numbered section. Some examples include different editions of the game for different systems, or remasters with improved graphics.

For templates to use in the ratings parameter, see Category:Rating templates.

Note that you shouldn't include data (such as release dates, consoles, etc.) for the game as part of a compilation. This data should be put in the compilation's infobox. Additionally, you should only fill out the "input" parameter of the infobox if it's non-standard for the consoles on which the game runs — for example, if the game uses a custom controller.
