Heads up

Not that I know what the solution is, but, Star Trek:

This might not look so hot. Although given that it already looks like that (albeit with spaces between the icons), maybe it's fine. -Black Squirrel (talk) 14:11, 27 November 2018 (CST)

There is the option to hide icons:

Sega Electronics

Also, if you don't specify the system, it'll grab whatever's in the template:bob system list (for the cargo table only; no icons are displayed in that case). I could add an option to use text instead of icons with "|icons=text". - Hivebrain (talk) 15:52, 27 November 2018 (CST)

An idea

RE: I want to get rid of the originaldevelopers/originalpublishers fields.

Here's a thought - trees:

Double Dragon (development)

Technos Japan

Accolade

Arc System Works

Doom (32X) (development)

id Software

Sega of America

Even though development teams didn't necessarily work on Sega versions of a games, I think it's still important to credit them as developers, as they "developed" something that formed a foundation for the Sega port.

Tetris (publishing)

AcademySoft-ELORG
Mirrorsoft
Atari Games

Sega

Tengen

Sega

With publishers, those not directly involved in a port are probably more likely to be considered "licensors". You don't usually license a specific verison of a game though - just the IP, so no format icons needed.

This would neatly show the relationship between all the different companies involved, and the porting history without needing any more than two bob fields. The problem(?) is that it takes up a lot of space.

This way the licensor= field can be reserved for things like FIFA or Formula One - non-game properties.

-Black Squirrel (talk) 14:00, 23 December 2018 (CST)

I wonder if it might be better to make a new template for this stuff, and put it in the article itself (in the "Versions" section probably).

{{porttable|system=Arcade|company=[[Atari]]
|{{port|system=MD|company=|comment=|branch=1}}
|{{port|system=Steam|company=|comment=Emulation|branch=1.1}}
|{{port|system=PS3|company=|comment=Emulation|branch=1.2}}
|{{port|system=SMS|company=|comment=|branch=2}}
}}

This is just a quick idea. There might be better ways to do it. It could pull companies from the cargo table if "company=" is left blank. - Hivebrain (talk) 15:31, 23 December 2018 (CST)

Regions

This task is unfinished
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.

I've spent four months putting the above off, but there's another issue that will need addressing:

Streets of Rage 2 Original Soundtrack

There needs to be a way of letting the cargo table know that there are two record labels responsible here, Alfa Records for Japan and Mars Colony Music for the US. Currently I think it adds the company name as "Alfa Records (JP), Mars Colony Music (US)" - something will need to be written so that there are two additions to the table, and the regions in brackets are stripped away (assuming we still want to use this sort of notation to denote region).

Incidentally this has no way of knowing if the music being published is on CD or cassette or vinyl or whatever. Doesn't matter a massive amount in this case because "recordlabel" is unique to music, but it breaks down when trying to do the same for videos (some of the early stuff was distributed on VHS, Betamax and LaserDisc - again there's only one addition to the table when ideally we'd want three).

I haven't looked at this properly because it's awkward and I hate it -Black Squirrel (talk) 14:22, 18 April 2019 (EDT)
