When creating a new page, copy-paste this, edit the right fields, and remove the categories that don't belong. Simple as that.

Legend

• noscreen: Use this to omit the title screen/default placeholder entirely. Generally, this should not be used, with very few exceptions.
• bobscreen: Screenshot filename (e.g., "Filename.png"). This can be omitted, in which case you just need to click the "no image" placeholder to upload an image.
• screenwidth: Width of the above screenshot, in pixels (e.g., "320px"). Leave blank for auto. Screenshots that are 400px or wider should be resized to 320px to keep the bob at a decent size.
• title: The game's title. If blank, it'll use the page's title.
• aka: The game's title in other regions (e.g., "Super Contra (JP), Probotector 2 (EU)").
• base: Occasionally, instead of directly localizing a game, a developer will opt to build a new, different game based on its code/assets (e.g., "Flying Warriors (US)" is largely based on "Hiryuu no Ken III: 5 Nin no Ryuu Senshi (JP)"). In this case, put the title of the original game it was based on here.
• developer: The game's developer.
• developers: Developers that made the game for multi-developer games. This should be a comma-separated list of invocations of Template:Developer.
• publisher: The game's publisher.
• publishers: Publishers that made the game for multi-publisher games. This should be a comma-separated list of invocations of Template:Publisher.
• system: Platform the game was released on, for single-platform titles only.
  • arcadesys: If the system is "Arcade", place the specific kind here (e.g., "Sega NAOMI").
• systems: Platforms the game was released on for multiplatform games. This should be a comma-separated list of invocations of Template:System. Only add multiple systems if each version has the same unused content!
• Dates - Use the Date template for these.
  • world: The game's international release date. Use this if there is only one global release date. If not, use the following countries where applicable:
  • japan: For Japan.
  • usa: For the United States.
  • europe: For Europe.
  • germany: For Germany.
  • aus: For Australia.
  • rus: For Russia.
  • korea: For Korea.
  • brazil: For Brazil.
  • china: For China.
  • hongkong: For Hong Kong.
  • taiwan: For Taiwan.
• Categories - If the game falls under one or more of these categories, include the respective parameter(s) and give it/them a brief value, like "y" (e.g., piracy=y). The actual value is not important.
  • animations: Unused animations (cat).
  • areas: Unused areas (cat).
  • characters: Unused characters (cat).
  • code: Unused code (cat).
  • source: Uncompiled source code (cat).
  • devmessage: Hidden messages from the developers (cat).
