::Interesting. Thank you for the heads-up about IGN too! I wonder if there’s a way to stop it, or archive a copy that won’t change the date. Good find with those posts too, I really like the idea of using these to help sort out release dates ;) [[User:CartridgeCulture|CartridgeCulture]] ([[User talk:CartridgeCulture|talk]]) 16:42, 15 April 2021 (EDT)

Hi!... I will not lie... we really appreciate all the help we can get... and you are full of opinions and ideas to make this place better... we like all that enthusiasm... but... can you please tag the files before uploading them? ... we only have two active "Wiki Sysops" ... and they have a huge and heavy burden on their backs already... our wiki is big and it's easy to lose track of untagged files in this "big ocean of knowledge"... just paste the respective tags on the "Summary" box before uploading them... no offense... best regards...--[[User:Asagoth|Asagoth]] ([[User talk:Asagoth|talk]]) 09:07, 22 April 2021 (EDT)

IGN dates

It seems that IGN "localises" the dates depending on where the page is accessed from. Accessing from the UK gives a date of December 31st for Batman Returns, but when using a US proxy I got the date of May 19th that you referenced. Not an issue as you linked an archive of the page, and the Internet Archive is based in the US, but could be an issue if someone wanted to reference the UK page. That "UK" date is obviously a placeholder though, it released in September going by the official Gallup charts.Pirate Dragon (talk) 11:50, 15 April 2021 (EDT)

Image tagging

Can you please tag the files before uploading them? Just paste the respective tags on the "Summary" box before uploading them... best regards...--Asagoth (talk) 09:07, 22 April 2021 (EDT)

Anytime, you're super welcome! And I'll absolutely start tagging my uploads. My bad! I didn't even know tagging was a thing. I'll go back and tag my older uploads too. ;)
As always I genuinely appreciate the help, thanks again Asagoth.
