So Gamebox2 is for games in the archive? Clever... course, we can make that a variable in gamebox if you like. :D -- Mr. Flay 13:38, 17 August 2007 (MDT)

of course you can... :P -- i don't understand what the {{{name}}} function does in the [[Category]] tags... LyingBrian 13:58, 17 August 2007 (MDT)
Unlike with wikilinks (where it changes what's displayed), piping a category changes the sort order. So putting Mafia 3 into [[Category:Large Games]] would sort it under M, while putting it in [[Category:Large Games|03]] will sort it under 0. Make sense now? I'm just repurposing the name variable that already exists, we probably ought to rename it if we want to use it this way... -- Mr. Flay 14:04, 17 August 2007 (MDT)
ok, i think i get it now... using Newbie 438 as an example, if i put |name=Newbie 438|, it will file it under 'N', but if i use |name=438|, then it will file it under '4', right?.. if that's the case, yes we ought to rename it, but i also see a potential problem... in New York & Little Italy you're going to have coinciding numbers... in New York, this is already present, 'Mafia 35' & 'Open 35', and in Little Italy they just need a few more Open Games to catch the lowest Mini Game... you probably have a work around for this, though :D -- LyingBrian 14:44, 17 August 2007 (MDT)
Actually, I don't. We could avoid sorting the "played by forum" categories, of course, which would eliminate that confusion in favor of a wholly different one (everything will be in M or O). Hmmm...
