== Replace/automation work that may be considered for future endeavors ==
* <s>Set page playability statuses according to new test cases ([[:Category:Temp new test case]], [[:Category:Temp new test case too long]])</s>
* <s>Sort test entries (new test entries were inserted at the top of test tables). Such a work can possibly only be done by hands and it is pretty time consuming.</s>
* Use [http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/list-999 Game faqs] to <s>create still missing titles</s>, update developers/publishers, <s>serials, release dates, AKAs</s>, genres, multiplayer status. I'd even get boxarts from them but I'd need their permission for that. So no luck here I guess.
** Use http://www.sonyindex.com to include additional serials (game FAQs does not have all of them)
* Automatically set Wikipedia links (where possible) -- not that hard
* Automatically update game descriptions from Wikipedia (where possible) -- pretty hard considering Wikipedia articles are not uniform.
* Automatically update Developers/Publishers from Wikipedia (where possible) -- not that hard; but it will surface many non-PS2 developers so this is questionable.
* Automatically update release dates from Wikipedia (where possible) -- seems like a doable project.
* Automatically update genres from Wikipedia (where possible) -- also looks doable.
* Automatically update box arts from Wikipedia (where possible and needed) -- many of Wikipedia images aren't PS2 box arts, although it does not matter THAT much it's still a bad thing, additionally this project would require a certain amount of work, so it's kinda hard and questionable.
* Automatically link game review fields (where needed) to Metacritic or some other similar site -- difficulty is not obvious atm.
* Finish with all needed navboxes. This can only be done by hands (although I could imagine myself doing some sort of automation here but it would kill all the fun I suppose).
