Todo/Magazine check
From Sega Retro
Crude but workable way of determining how magazines are being referenced on Sega Retro.
It takes a while to compute:
{{MagCheck|code=smf}}
Sega Master Force (UK) #1: "August 1993" (1993-06-24):
Sega Master Force (UK) #2: "September 1993" (1993-07-22):
Sega Master Force (UK) #3: "October 1993" (1993-08-19):
Sega Master Force (UK) #4: "Autumn 1993" (1993-09-16):
Sega Master Force (UK) #5: "November 1993" (1993-10-14):
Sega Master Force (UK) #6: "December 1993" (1993-11-11):
You can also specify a single issue:
{{MagCheck|code=mdag|issue=1}}
Sega Mega Drive Advanced Gaming (UK) #1: "September 1992" (1992-xx-xx):
The "gaps" are filled by any template that calls Template:MagStore: magazine article rows and print advert galleries. The idea is to fill in the empty squares.
Things it probably isn't handling properly:
- multi-page reviews
- reprints
- pages that cover multiple topics - e.g. if there's an advert for three games, it'll just show the one
- you'll get the occasional red square because it gets confused with some punctuation. The issue is fixed, but it might take some time for the wiki to update.
