Help:Platforms

From Videogame Morgue File

Revision as of 21:20, 6 September 2024 by MorgueFile (talk | contribs)

Rather than having to type out the name of each platform in a game page's infobox, there are a large number of templates you can use instead. Using these templates means machines can be named in a standardised way across the wiki (and universally renamed), and has the significant added benefit of adding the game page to an appropriate category page.

This list of platforms and template names is derived from the platform dataset used by IGDB, with some minor alterations. The list should (eventually) cover nearly all platforms, including many obscure ones, but if a platform is missing or ambiguous, please leave a message on the talk page.

Platform templates
Name Slug Template
PlayStation ps {{plat-ps}}
PC (Microsoft Windows) win {{plat-win}}
Dreamcast dc {{plat-dc}}

(full list to follow once I've scripted the creation of it)
