Should we use the original engine branch or current engine branch on software page template?

(using Template:Message)  Hey there, I was wondering whether or not we should use the current engine branch for the game on the software page template or the original. For example, should we use src04 or hl2 or src13? Equalizer5118, an idiot who cant spel (talk)  --Equalizer5118 (talk) 12:21, 28 March, 2023 (UTC)

(using Template:Message)  {{Src13}} and others don't give exact information about what exactly the game is based on. If you specify {{Src13}} for the conditional Half-Life 2, it turns out that the game is based on both versions at once - Singleplayer and Multiplayer.

I don't see any problems in using {{Src13}}, {{hl2}} and others if it will give enough information to understand what a person should use to create a similar game.  --THE OWL (talk) 5:45, 29 Mar 2023 (UTC)

(using Template:Message)  Aight, cool. Thanks man!  --Equalizer5118 (talk) 8:10, 29 March, 2023 (UTC)

hidden categories for Software page template

(using Template:Message)  Hey there, I have a question about the hidden categories for the Software page template. The current links that you have in the section link to categories with the abbreviations in the title (eg Ps3) instead of the full name from the /strings subpage (PlayStation 3). When I added automatic categories a little while back, I used the strings for the titles instead of the abbreviations. Should we use the existing full name categories or should we use the abbreviated categories?  --Equalizer5118 (talk) 20:46, 7 Apr 2023 (UTC)

(using Template:Message)  It would be more correct to use full names. Wiki should not take abbreviations as a basis, but it can use them for redirects.  --THE OWL (talk) 21:26, 7 Apr 2023 (UTC)

(using Template:Message)  Hmm, interesting. Your time zone is displayed incorrectly (I see UTC+7 instead of UTC-7)  --THE OWL (talk) 21:39, 7 Apr 2023 (UTC)

(using Template:Message)  Yeah, I noticed that as well. Thought it was a slight mistype on the user settings page that I fixed yesterday but apparently not. It displays correctly on my settings page though...  --Equalizer5118 (talk) 16:06, 7 Apr 2023 (UTC)
