[edit] Accessories

Clearly I do not understnad how the Accessories line makes it look better. Can anyone explain that to me? Jedi6 21:24, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

It's there as part of the fictionality for the sub template. I designed the template originally so that the accessories sub templates could be written without any formatting. Add an argument to the template, like {{Nintendo hardware|NES}} and you will see the NES accessories displayed with it. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 13:13, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. I understand now. Jedi6 02:57, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Did the sub-template stop working? KMS (talk) 20:06, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] proper footer format

Would anybody oppose this version? It is much closer to the usual footer format found across wikipedia.

I can also restaure the "subheaders", but I think it makes the template takes excesive evrtical space (and absence or presence of color doesn't change that.):

--They are both good. Personally I like the second one but it doesn't really matter. Jedi6-(need help?) 19:32, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Accessories

When the accessories are listed for GB/GBA and GC, the Game Link Cable is linked to a redirect page. Please capitalize all three words in the link to correct this (change from "Game Link cable" to "Game Link Cable"). Thanks. - Everchanging02 04:04, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind. I fixed it. - Everchanging02 04:08, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
