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 here.
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.
