Confusion
I don't understand parts of this template. For example, "sequel-to" results in "has a sequel to [game name]". What does that even mean? Going by the structure, it's probably supposed to mean that [game name] is the sequel to the game the template is placed on, but the parameter makes no sense the way it's worded. There's more in there like that; can they be reworded in some way?--Vellidragon 03:01, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
- The idea of this template is to help manage all of the releases of a specific game, along with all of its squeals, prequels, partners, etc. as per our page here. However, it might be phasing out all together, as I convinced there was another way by Tinsatu. Please read that, and if you agree with, please help remove its use in favor of actual text.
