How will this average feature work: will it need to be updated manually when a new score is added? I know MediaWiki has a basic system that we can use to automate everything, but how will this extend to multiconsole and Template:Num?
Hell, we should probably automate the magazines that don't use a single number...- Andlabs 16:33, 14 August 2011 (CDT)

I just calculated things by hand - I think there was an attempt at automating things when we first made this template but it didn't work out. Besides, if you're working with multiple consoles it'll probably get a bit confused. It's tedious, but hunting out old magazines in the first place probably takes longer.
More of an experiment to see if it would look nice really. Tons of pages use this template and it would take a while to go through them all and add avereages -Black Squirrel 05:03, 15 August 2011 (CDT)

or is this too much like Metacritic

the idea here is that it would be one per system and you'd be able to show/hide each list, thus reducing clutter. Probably needs tweaking. Probably not easy to convert into a proper, working template either. But yeah -Black Squirrel 16:20, 9 December 2011 (CST)

If we do go with that one, there might be a way to automate taking the averages but it might involve an extension and might not work with the average at the top; I'd have to look into it - Andlabs 16:35, 9 December 2011 (CST)
I really like this, but we also -really- need it to do averaging automatically. If we have to get an extension to do it, so be it. - Scarred Sun 14:35, 15 December 2011 (CST)

Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".
If you see 7 2 5, then we have both ParserFunctions and Variables extensions, which should be all we need (as far as I can tell)
Maybe we can also make it slightly fancier by providing things like an automatic GamePro score calculator that one can show the original score as a popup, but IDK if/how that would work - Andlabs 16:50, 15 December 2011 (CST)
