Age ratings need to be implemented!
[edit]Age ratings needs to be a part of the standard template for video games. I think this should be obvious. (Can someone fix? I don't know how) 2A01:563:128:700:DCA4:4385:D7F4:3F67 (talk) 19:06, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Could you provide any arguments that transcend the previous discussion on the matter? IceWelder [✉] 19:19, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- There are too many age rating systems in the world to be able to include them all in infoboxes. Hence why we (as well as for movies and television shows) do not implement them. Masem (t) 19:35, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Late response, but I was thinking maybe we could draw from Wikidata and have it automatically populated in a small module in the release section like the review scores? But it definitively isn't infobox worthy. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 23:54, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Purchase/Download
[edit]There should be a column to redirect to official purchase/download page. I respect that this wouldn't be added due to large pirate communities. Xaelor (talk) 15:02, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- We don't link to storefronts, since for some platforms there are multiple places to buy a game. Masem (t) 15:18, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- And of course for every platform at least one. IceWelder [✉] 18:47, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Not only that, but it would violate WP:NOTPROMO. External links also work for games that are officially available online for free. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 23:46, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
