EventGameList

From Sega Retro

The idea behind this is to get a list of events which a game appeared at.

e.g. Bug Too

Game Event Name Start Date End Date
Bug Too E3 1996 1996-05-16 1996-05-18

eee it's awkward.
E3 2000 - it's picking up the third-party company names and adding them to game titles. My attempts at getting it to ignore headers have so far failed. More thought is needed.

It's also ignoring colons for some reason. -Black Squirrel (talk) 07:43, 23 November 2018 (CST)

I made it so it only reads text between italic tags (''). It'll break if anyone tries to use bold tags (which they shouldn't) and it won't pick up accessories or consoles. - Hivebrain (talk) 09:42, 23 November 2018 (CST)
Apparently bold was used for consoles, so I fixed that. Now it only ignores accessories. Maybe there could be an "other=" parameter for non-game stuff. - Hivebrain (talk) 09:55, 23 November 2018 (CST)
