::I found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_2_online_games. I'm actually not a big fan of having more icons to be honest, I'd rather it just be a category at the bottom. Text is preferred over images IMO. I'm still a big advocate of keeping the wiki professional-looking. -[[User:Karasuhebi|Karasuhebi]] ([[User talk:Karasuhebi|talk]]) 00:20, 26 August 2015 (BST) | ::I found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_2_online_games.

:Okay, looks like a nice list, thanks (although probably incomplete as mostly every list in Wikipedia)! Don't worry, these games will also be added in a corresponding category, but I have to disagree with you about Wikipedia professionalism. The more I look the more I understand what harm this "free" resource has done to the free internet. But it's not a topic to discuss here, isn't it. --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 06:35, 26 August 2015 (BST) | |||
==Which region's game cover to use?== | |||
From what I've seen we mostly use NTSC-U covers, but what if the NTSC-U cover is inferior? Should we go for the NTSC-J cover or the PAL cover? I would imagine if the NTSC-J and the PAL covers are basically the same, as is the case with [[ICO]], then we use the NTSC-J cover since that the original cover. But what about when the cover from the PAL regions is different than the one from NTSC-J, as is the case with [[DMC3: SE]]? Which one do we use? -[[User:Karasuhebi|Karasuhebi]] ([[User talk:Karasuhebi|talk]]) 00:33, 11 September 2015 (BST) | |||
DMC3: SE - NTSC-J cover: http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/930014-devil-may-cry-3-special-edition/images/box-70216 | |||
DMC3: SE - PAL cover: http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/930014-devil-may-cry-3-special-edition/images/box-76306 | |||
:I think any cover will do (but we can put cover arts in the galleries). The infobox can only contain one cover unfortunately, no way around it. If I will get the permission from Game FAQs to use their cover arts for those titles that do not have covers, I'd instruct my bot to download the first available I guess. --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 06:58, 11 September 2015 (BST) | |||
==Missing game entries== | |||
Just noticed that certain games are completely absent from the official compatibility list and the wiki itself(namely Super Robot Wars titles). Any reason why?. [[User:Vibhor|Vibhor]] ([[User talk:Vibhor|talk]]) 21:26, 3 April 2017 (BST) | |||
:Super Robot Wars = Super Robot Taisen (titles are usually copied from GameFAQs, no matter how wrong/incomplete the translation is). | |||
::Ah that explains it. [[User:Vibhor|Vibhor]] ([[User talk:Vibhor|talk]]) 22:47, 3 April 2017 (BST) | |||
:Putting aside an obvious exaggeration about wrong titles (most of the titles were possibly copied as transliterated from retail listings; at the time no "correct" translations might have even existed) we can always add AKAs, create redirects and rename the most offending titles. --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 18:44, 4 April 2017 (BST) | |||
