This WikiProject banner uses {{WPBannerMeta}}, a meta-template for easily creating and maintaining banners and talk-page notices. Any recently-appearing error or display issue which is not obviously caused by a recent edit to this template is probably due to an error in, or recent update to, Template:WPBannerMeta or one of its subpages. Please report any such errors to Template talk:WPBannerMeta, so that any errors can be fixed for this and other projects.

This WikiProject banner uses a custom class mask.

Template documentation

Usage

The {{WikiProject Video games}} project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the project. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner. All pages should include class and importance, when possible. These parameters will put the page into the appropriate subcategory in WikiProject Video games.

Syntax

Shortened version
{{WikiProject Video games \|class = \|importance = \|cover = \|screenshot = \|needs-infobox = }}

 {{WikiProject Video games |class =  |importance = |Arcade =  |Atari =  |Atlus = |BioWare =  |Castlevania =  |Command&Conquer =  |D&D = |DQ =  |DestroyAllHumans! =  |DevilMayCry =  |DragonQuest =  |GearsofWar =  |GrandTheftAuto =  |idSoftware =  |MegaMan =  |MortalKombat = |MU* =  |Nintendo =  |RedFaction =  |Progaming =  |Retro =  |Sega =  |SilentHill =  |TheSims =  |Soul =  |StarCraft =  |Suikoden =  |SuperSmashBros. = |Valve =  |Visualnovels =  |Warcraft =  |attention =  |needs-infobox =  |magazine =  |cover =  |GCOTW =  |old-GCOTW =  |listas = |peer =  |old-peer =  |screenshot =  }}

Stub for articles which are Stubs
List for articles which are Lists
NA for articles which are Not Articles (such as project articles).

listas - This parameter, which is the equivalent of the DEFAULTSORT sortkey, is a sortkey for the article talk page. Use this parameter when the title of an article begins with "the", "a", and "an", i.e. A Tree of Palme, you can instead have "listas=Tree of Palme, A" — so that it will show up in the T's... Also used to properly sort names based on surnames instead of the first word ("Cloud Strife" --> "Strife, Cloud"), and "List of" articles based on the series name and type of article ("List of characters in Metal Gear Solid" --> "Metal Gear Solid characters"). Note that this parameter only affects categories used by this banner and will not affect the sortkey of other banners and templates.

To avoid needlessly cluttering up talk pages, it is usually appropriate to remove any unused parameters from the template.
