 * This page is not actively maintained.
 * Completed move requests will be removed entirely, but other things will be struck out to preserve the text and section anchors.

Original batch
parameter of Template:Bob should generally be italicized, with a few exceptions.

Atlantis no Nazo
The wording "The mind boggles" in the lede would seem to violate the policy about editorializing. (If you disagree, please create a policy discussion about how critical reception of a game should be cited.)

Castle Shikigami 2 (PlayStation 2)#Debug Display
This is likely an arcade leftover but isn't yet described as such. "Main" and "media b(oar)d IDs" were conventionally displayed by games on the NAOMI and other Sega arcade system boards of the same era.

Danger Zone
Sega published this game in Japan; see this flyer.

In the Groove (PlayStation 2)
Unused memory-card debugging features

A Bugs page should be created for the Topgrade issue mentioned on the talk page.

TODO: Does the StepMania engine's usual logging code exist anywhere? Can it be enabled as devkit output with a GameShark code?

Sega Saturn
The word "four" in the lede should link to Category:PlayStation 4 games.

Sega Titan Video
Please add a  parameter to the Bob with a link to Sega Saturn; don't italicize this because it isn't a single game.

The King of Fighters '97 (Game Boy)
Per precedent from 7 Grand Dad, do not list the original developer in the Bob.

The Punisher (Genesis)#Unknown Debug Menu
This appears to be an arcade leftover (cf. the excerpt from  in ROMs pse_27.12e+pse_31.12f in The Punisher (Arcade)/Unused Text) but isn't yet described as such.

Taito Legends (PlayStation 2)
The mention of RayStorm should be RayForce (RayStorm is the subsequent game in the series).

The emulation code is generally believed to be based on MAME; TODO: Verify whether it is specifically MAME 0.87, as this text seems to imply. There was a point in MAME's history when "disabling sound" would disable emulation of any sound CPU; this is no longer the case and should be explained.

Triforce
Please add a  parameter to the Bob with a link to GameCube; don't italicize this because it isn't a single game.

If Sega handled all the manufacturing and distribution, perhaps they should be listed as the sole publisher.

Umihara Kawase (SNES)
The bob is inaccurate because both TNN and NHK SC are technically publishers; the developers were not part of a formal company at this time (explanation unfinished; one developer went to Agatsuma Entertainment, and another founded Studio Saizensen; TODO names)

The sound driver is by Atelier Double, but please see "Policy discussions" below before boldly adding this.

Bugs:Yume Nikki#Speed Glitch
The glitch described here works only in fan translations, because they remove the "Move while seated" message. This section should be about the hyperspeed glitch, which works in all versions based on 0.10a (TODO: check unpatched 0.10).

TODO: there are some unfixed cosmetic bugs specific to the official English release; for example, the "Tool: RPG Maker 2003" text in the ending does not fade in as intended

Categorization of articles
TODO: NEC Avenue vs. NEC Interchannel; ambiguous "IGS" abbreviation (Information Global Service vs. International Games System, only the former of which currently has articles); corporate hierarchy of Kadokawa Dwango; Square Enix owns Taito; etc.?

Category:Games developed by Incredible Technologies
The current description says "Not-so-incredible games," which would seem to violate the policy on editorializing. It should be rewritten/expanded.

Category:PlayStation games
The words SNES "Play Station" CD-ROM attachment in the lede should link to Super Disc Boot ROM.

Category:Sega Ages 2500 series
This category should be mentioned as a "See also" in Template:Sega series.

I have withdrawn my previous request for a merge.

Category:Unlicensed PlayStation 2 games
The italicized "Yes, these exist" text qualifies as editorializing and should be removed.

Akumajou Dracula
Akumajou Dracula may refer to:
 * The NES game, also known as Castlevania.
 * The MSX2 game, also known as Vampire Killer.
 * The arcade game, also known as Haunted Castle.
 * The SNES game, also known as Super Castlevania IV.
 * The Sharp X68000 game.

Policy discussions

 * Should developers of sound drivers be credited in the bob? (TODO: Examples) We obviously don't want to credit Nintendo, Sega, or Technopop for every use of N-SPC, SMPS, or GEMS, but just about any other sound driver should be noteworthy enough if it has a verified developer who is not the developer of the platform on which the game runs. (TODO: Amend this rule so GEMS does not need to be treated as an exception.)
 * Are arbitrary-code-execution exploits such as those used in these tool-assisted speedruns considered valid content for the Bugs namespace? (Per my understanding of existing site rules, exploits that require a save file to be modified outside of the game itself are not to be considered.)
 * Should the developer and publisher of the original game be listed for pirate hacks? Compare The King of Fighters '97 (Game Boy) with 7 Grand Dad; look at their edit histories.

TODO: "(Wii)" vs. "(WiiWare)" naming convention needs to be decided upon and applied consistently

Templates
TODO: "Simple series," "Sega Ages 2500 series," and similar should include game titles

Template:Bob
There probably ought to be a  parameter to show plug-and-play hardware platforms, the same way we are doing with.

Template:Madou Monogatari series
Add a "See also Puyo Puyo" line
