Age ratings needs to be a part of the standard template for video games. I think this should be obvious. (Can someone fix? I don't know how) 2A01:563:128:700:DCA4:4385:D7F4:3F67 ( talk) 19:06, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
I have looked through some of the links in the header here about adding new parameters, and see that there seems like pretty solid agreement that some stuff (i.e. repository link, release version etc) shouldn't be included. But I do not see any real in-depth discussion of licensing; there is stuff like Template_talk:Infobox_video_game/Archive_15#Add_license_field? and Template_talk:Infobox_video_game/Archive_15#missing_fields where somebody just says "this field previously existed and was removed by consensus", but doesn't link to the consensus; either way these discussions were five and seven years ago respectively. Somebody proposes making a separate infobox for open source games and then including the fields in there, which I don't really see having much response.
I do see the argument against putting in a param for license, which is that it wouldn't be used very often, which is true, although I don't really see why it would be a big deal (almost every infobox on the project has multiple unused parameters). What is the story on this? jp× g 🗯️ 23:34, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
