Template:Infobox game

{{{name}}}

 

WIP Infobox template for games. Since {{Software}} had been reverted, game pages need a concise, simple infobox.

I decided that {{Infotable}} doesn't quite fit the bill (doesn't have some relevant sections), and {{Softwarebox}} is too complicated, and scripted more toward predetermined choices.

So I want to work on a new one, that gives both general data (date of release, platform, genre) as well as that most important to devs - AppID, engine/branch, what type of mods (gldsrc, sourcemod, addon), etc. At the moment it's just a copy of COW's but doesn't fit VDC, not the least reason being, it was meant to work with COW's bright background.

So, it's all one big ^[Todo] right now. I know I very vocally objected to overuse of templates, but this is quite different.
