== Other ==
<!-- TODO: also "Requested redirects"? -->
=== Article content ===
(includes bugs, notes, and prototype pages)<!-- ignore the namespace prefix when alphabetizing, but do not ignore grammatical articles -->

"Namco System 21" and "Namco System 22" [[tcrf:Category:BIOS/Firmware ROMs|BIOS]] articles could probably be created for the strings in the DSP ROMs; this necessitates the moving of information from some existing articles and possibly the deletion of some articles.

The value provided to the <code>base</code> parameter of [[tcrf:Template:Bob|Template:Bob]] should generally be italicized, with a few exceptions.
==== [[tcrf:Atlantis no Nazo|Atlantis no Nazo]] ====
The wording "The mind boggles" in the lede would seem to violate the [[tcrf:Help:Contents/Rules & Guidelines#Editorializing|policy about editorializing]]. (If you disagree, please create a [[#Policy discussions|policy discussion]] about how critical reception of a game should be cited.)
==== [[tcrf:Castle Shikigami 2 (PlayStation 2)#Debug Display|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.
==== [[tcrf:Danger Zone|Danger Zone]] ====
Sega published this game in Japan; see [https://www.flyerfever.com/post/172501710838/danger-zone this flyer].
==== [[tcrf:In the Groove (PlayStation 2)|In the Groove (PlayStation 2)]] ====
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKDVJWQSKIg 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?
==== [[tcrf:Raimais|Raimais]] ====
Some of the audio files aren't actually unused; the "scrapped" ending is accessible under obscure circumstances ([[User:Eighty5cacao/sloppy|TODO]])
==== [[tcrf:Sega Saturn|Sega Saturn]] ====
The word "four" in the lede should link to [[tcrf:Category:PlayStation 4 games|Category:PlayStation 4 games]].
==== [[tcrf:Sega Titan Video|Sega Titan Video]] ====
Please add a <code>base</code> parameter to the Bob with a link to [[tcrf:Sega Saturn|Sega Saturn]]; don't italicize this because it isn't a single game.
==== [[tcrf:The King of Fighters '97 (Game Boy)|The King of Fighters '97 (Game Boy)]] ====
Per precedent from [[tcrf:7 Grand Dad|7 Grand Dad]], do not list the original developer in the Bob.

==== [[tcrf:The Punisher (Genesis)#Unknown Debug Menu|The Punisher (Genesis)#Unknown Debug Menu]] ====
This appears to be an arcade leftover (cf. the excerpt from <code>0x279AC</code> in ROMs pse_27.12e+pse_31.12f in [[tcrf:The Punisher (Arcade)/Unused Text|The Punisher (Arcade)/Unused Text]]) but isn't yet described as such.
==== [[tcrf:Taito Legends (PlayStation 2)|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.

==== [[tcrf:Triforce|Triforce]] ====
Please add a <code>base</code> parameter to the Bob with a link to [[tcrf:GameCube|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.
==== [[tcrf:Umihara Kawase (SNES)|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 ([[User:Eighty5cacao/sloppy|explanation unfinished]]; one developer went to Agatsuma Entertainment, and another founded [[tcrf:Category:Games developed by Studio Saizensen|Studio Saizensen]]; TODO names)

The sound driver is by [[tcrf:Category:Games developed by Atelier Double|Atelier Double]], but please [[#Policy discussions|see "Policy discussions" below]] before boldly adding this.

==== [[tcrf:Bugs:Yume Nikki#Speed Glitch|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 [[wikia:yumenikki:Effects#Hyperspeed Glitch|hyperspeed glitch]], which works in all versions based on 0.10a.

TODO: there are some unfixed cosmetic bugs specific to the official English release

=== 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 [[wikipedia:Kadokawa Dwango|Kadokawa Dwango]]; Square Enix owns Taito; etc.?

=== Category pages ===
==== [[tcrf:Category:Games developed by Incredible Technologies|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.
==== [[tcrf:Category:PlayStation games|Category:PlayStation games]] ====
The words ''SNES "Play Station" CD-ROM attachment'' in the lede should link to [[tcrf:Super Disc Boot ROM|Super Disc Boot ROM]].<!-- the [[tcrf:PlayStation|]] article says "bad falling-out with Nintendo"; should we do the same there? -->
==== [[tcrf:Category:Sega Ages 2500 series|Category:Sega Ages 2500 series]] ====
This category and its corresponding template should be merged with [[tcrf:Category:Sega series|Sega series]].
==== [[tcrf:Category:Unlicensed PlayStation 2 games|Category:Unlicensed PlayStation 2 games]] ====
The italicized "''Yes, these exist''" text qualifies as editorializing and should be removed.
=== Disambiguation pages to create ===
==== Akumajou Dracula ====
'''''Akumajou Dracula''''' may refer to:
*[[tcrf:Castlevania (NES)|The NES game]], also known as ''Castlevania''.
*[[tcrf:Vampire Killer (MSX2)|The MSX2 game]], also known as ''Vampire Killer''.
*[[tcrf:Haunted Castle|The arcade game]], also known as ''Haunted Castle''.
*[[tcrf:Super Castlevania IV|The SNES game]], also known as ''Super Castlevania IV''.
*[[tcrf:Akumajou Dracula (Sharp X68000)|The Sharp X68000 game]].
=== Policy discussions ===
*Should developers of sound drivers be credited in the [[tcrf:Template:Bob|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.
*Are arbitrary-code-execution exploits such as those used in [http://tasvideos.org/Movies-C3050Y.html 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.)

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
==== [[tcrf:Template:Bob|Template:Bob]] ====
There probably ought to be a <code>pnpsys</code> parameter to show [[tcrf:Category:Plug & Play games|plug-and-play]] hardware platforms, the same way we are doing with <code>arcadesys</code>.
==== [[tcrf:Template:Madou Monogatari series|Template:Madou Monogatari series]] ====
Add a "See also [[tcrf:Category:Puyo Puyo series|Puyo Puyo]]" line
