Could someone add The Daily Telegraph / The Telegraph (London) to the Module:Video game reviews/data (in the local reviewers section).
{"[[The Daily Telegraph|''The Telegraph'']]", 'TELE'},
The Daily Telegraph / The Telegraph (London) frequently publishes video game reviews [1] with a 5 star rating system (simliar to other UK broadsheet, The Guardian, with respect to video game reviews). It is considered reliable per WP:RSP. Regards Spy-cicle💥 Talk? 00:20, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello! I'm working on improving the Euro Truck Simulator 2 article and was told that I could use the awards parameter for the video games review template to get rid of the awards section, however for whatever reason when I attempt to add the publisher of the award, it results in the publisher section for that being blank. Anyone know what I"m doing wrong? (reposted after being told I should ask here first before asking at WP:VPT) ― Blaze Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 00:13, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
The article Among Us uses this template. When not commented out the article uses up all the possible lua memory. When commented out it dramatically reduces the amount of memory used. The two parser reports are below (first not commented out and second commented out):
Lua time usage: 2.003/10.000 seconds Lua memory usage: 52428781/52428800 bytes Lua Profile: Scribunto_LuaSandboxCallback::getEntity 320 ms 15.8% Scribunto_LuaSandboxCallback::getEntityStatements 300 ms 14.9% ? 200 ms 9.9% Scribunto_LuaSandboxCallback::gsub 160 ms 7.9% Scribunto_LuaSandboxCallback::getExpandedArgument 160 ms 7.9% Scribunto_LuaSandboxCallback::callParserFunction 140 ms 6.9% <mw.lua:690> 120 ms 5.9% items <Module:Timeline_of_release_years:4> 100 ms 5.0% dataWrapper <mw.lua:668> 80 ms 4.0% Scribunto_LuaSandboxCallback::match 60 ms 3.0% [others] 380 ms 18.8% Number of Wikibase entities loaded: 0/400

I have no idea why this is being caused as this doesn't seem to be using all possible memory elsewhere, but to prevent lua errors I've commented out the use of the template on this page. Dreamy Jazz talk to me | my contributions 12:58, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

How is ASM's scores in the 1980s supposed to be entered into the template? They don't give an overall score. They give a score to 5 different parts: graphics, sound, gameplay, motivation, price/performance. Mika1h ( talk) 12:46, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
Since there are agreed definitions on "generally positive", "universal acclaim" etc, how about something automatic in this template that indicates by way of a red/amber/green icon which it is? 92.19.132.214 ( talk) 20:45, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
I'm in the process of translating a lot of the Famicom Disk System articles over from Japanese Wikipedia and a number of major (in Japan) outlets have no code. The ones I need most urgently are:
These are major enough in Japan to have their own articles. Etotheipi ( talk) 08:33, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
Tilt must have the most convoluted scoring system in gaming history: "interest" is scored on a scale of 0-20, "graphics, animation, sound effects, +dozen others" seems to be a 6 star system (not 5), and then there are "language and price" that for some reason get a letter grade (A to F, but why are they using that when academic grading in France is 0-20). I guess "interest" is the overall score but some games like Ultima 4 don't get even that. Mika1h ( talk) 23:20, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
Could we add a number of generalist outlets, at least for their reviews of AAA+ titles? For example, there are "scored" reviews for Tears of the Kingdom from major generalist sources not in the module atm:

I was just wondering what other people thought about possibly adding OpenCritic as a review aggregator next to Metacritic. For the last few years OpenCritic has been gaining a lot more attention on social media, forums, websites and basically any other place used to discuss video games. I think it would be worth considering, also because OpenCritic does not use weighted average, unlike Metacritic. Poklane 12:10, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
