There is an issue with this template - [[:Category:Pages with reference errors]].

The "printpage" arguement, which I added to make sure no data was lost in game ratings, can conflict with standard magref references. Both create a reference pointing to the same place, but with slightly different names, causing a reference error.

Should be named "magref" unless you're going to use it for things other than magazines. - Hivebrain (talk) 17:31, 19 October 2018 (CDT)

This is a wiki task that requires more thought or peer review. An important issue that needs to be solved, which will appear at the top of Sega Retro:Todo until this message is removed.

There is an issue with this template - Category:Pages with reference errors.

The "printpage" arguement, which I added to make sure no data was lost in game ratings, can conflict with standard magref references. Both create a reference pointing to the same place, but with slightly different names, causing a reference error.

e.g.

{{magref|cvg|1|1}}
{{magref|cvg|1|1|printpage=2/3}}
