* Before creating a new game article please verify whether the game is already present in the wiki - use the search box on the left panel. As you should know many games have multiple releases, depending on revision and region. Therefore each game article may contain several infoboxes: one for each revision/region. For example the page for [[Drakan - The Ancients' Gates]] contains two infoboxes, one for the PAL release and another for the NTSC release. Thus there is no need to create new pages for each different region or release of the same game - instead, just add new infoboxes on the exisiting page as necessary.<br />

CRC is not particularly important but for the sake of completeness it can be provided (PCSX2 will identify your game and apply [[Game cheats|patches or cheats]] using it).

Let's say you found the game's page here on the wiki and it already has some information that you don't feel needs updating, but you'd like to mention that it plays better/worse on your computer. For this kind of information, find (or add) your platform and append '''Template:TestingEntry''' right before '''<nowiki>{{TestingFooter}}</nowiki>'''. It will look like this:
