This template is designed to be used in conjunction with the |gameid parameter of the vginfobox template. This template will allow every game ID mentioned in the infobox to be linked to its respective forum thread and ird file (if available).
Syntax
{{ gameid | id = GameID1, GameID2, GameID3 | oid = GameID1, GameID2, GameID3 | ird = Option }}
- |id = is used to mention the game IDs separated simply by a comma and a space. Only game IDs that are present in the compatibility list and forums are to be mentioned here. Game IDs that were never tested in the forums should NOT be mentioned in this parameter as the template will produce broken links to non-existent forum threads. Use
oidparameter for such game IDs. - |oid = is used for game IDs that are NOT present in the compatibility list and forums. Similar to
idparameter, game IDs are separated by a comma and a space. - |ird = is used to capture details relating to the availability of IRD files for a particular game at FlexBy IRD Database. The following options are accepted by this parameter:
- Yes - Blu-ray game ID is present and the IRD file for the same is available.
- No - Blu-ray game ID is present but the IRD file for the same is not available.
- NA - No Blu-ray game ID exists for the game (PSN exclusive).
In case the game IDs for a game need to be distinguished from each other (e.g. when one ID pertains to a demo), the template can be used twice with breaks added in between. Similarly, where a few game IDs have IRD files but other game IDs for the same game do not, the template can be used twice with the corresponding ird parameter as Yes and No respectively. Do note that when using the template twice without breaks in between, you will have to manually add a comma and space between the templates to maintain formatting.
