:There's no separate Chinese regionbox template in the infobox, all Asian serials go to the NTSC-J regionbox (so no separate Taiwanese+Chinese). A separate template is relatively easy to add, but I'd advise against it for two reasons: (1) there aren't too many PS2 game titles with Traditional Chinese support to warrant its own regionbox (correct me if I'm wrong here) and (2) We could also add many more regions like Australia (different but compatible PAL type), Korea (NTSC-K), Brazil (PAL-M), even some European countries (like PAL-G, etc.), this would make it a fine mess. The current system is simple: North America (NTSC-U), Asia (NTSC-J) and the rest of the world (PAL), I'd like to keep it that way.

:Nevertheless, we can correct region box caption to address your concerns, so instead of "Region: NTSC-J" it would say "Region: NTSC-J/C/K" or "Region: NTSC (Asia)". Each serial can have a note (like this [[LuluRara vol.2: Powered by Ziller.net|Korean only title]] has notes "(Korea)"). What say you? --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 19:43, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

::I suggest only separating NTSC-C out from NTSC-J, and keep others like you said. The main reason the actual region-lock implemented on PS2 console. i.e. An NTSC-J machine cannot play NTSC-C games, vice versa.
::By the way, actually my discussion is more focusing on the language (those country flags) displayed in the infobox, since Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese usually are more considered as different languages. Some games provided only Simplified Chinese version, some games provided both. What do you think? :) [[User:SiuMing|SiuMing]] ([[User talk:SiuMing|talk]]) 09:34, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
:I don't see how adding a Traditional Chinese language flag icon could be a problem from any perspective. Should I add the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_Republic_of_China.svg flag of Taiwan] for this? I, however, will not be able to correct existing articles because of the scarcity of information, my main source for the languages is redump and it doesn't have a lot of Asian discs, so if you can correct at least some articles, please do.
::Sure, I can help on this part after adding the flag for Traditional Chinese. I think either Taiwan flag / Hong Kong flag or a mix of them will do. [[User:SiuMing|SiuMing]] ([[User talk:SiuMing|talk]]) 15:23, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
:As for isolating NTSC-C to its own regionbox (despite a region-lock), I still don't see a necessity. There are only so many games in this region, and regionboxes do not have to follow Sony's footsteps. As I said before, I can alter the name to be more descriptive to avoid confusion. --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 18:48, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
:: I am okay to keep the current design. My main suggestion is the language (flag) part only indeed. But I believe it is always a good idea if the name is altered for avoiding confusion :) [[User:SiuMing|SiuMing]] ([[User talk:SiuMing|talk]]) 15:23, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
:Done and done. I added Taiwan flag if you want to mix it with HK flag, it's [[:File:Traditional Chinese.png|all yours]]. I also updated every game that had Chinese flag to have the Mainland China flag. In all probability, '''SLAJ/SCAJ''' serials are Taiwan/HK related and '''SCCS''' are simplified Chinese versions, but there are a number of totally different cases. If you have any questions, please holler! --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 16:54, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Method 2 is the cleanest looking one to me, it has no button nor any borders, while still maintaining a clean looking setup. -- [[User:Ryudo|Ryudo]] ([[User talk:Ryudo|talk]]) 09:42, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

:"I don't want the Wiki to have testcases like this: https://i.imgur.com/996Cbc8.png" -- Me neither, that's why I added a note about walls of text. Besides even this example looks better than a lot of text in the narrow "Graphics" column (which is encouraged now by the "How to contribute" article). I'm committed ''NOT'' to remove/alter current and future test entries containing those buttons, you seem to like, I just don't want to encourage people to use them. Let's keep my revision and see what will happen. If the walls of text will become bigger and messier than it will be an indication to alter the article again. Deal? --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 10:35, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

I have taken a [https://i.imgur.com/lUeO2tk.jpeg photo] of it. I will also submit it to redump.org once I have the account and permission. I have changed it again.

:Thank you! I'm just a bit overprotective when it comes to accepting nomenclature changes, I always try to verify it. It's not the first time though that the Internet is wrong, and probably will not be the last. :\ --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 18:01, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
