I propose that this template be changed to make the game status rows not appear if a parameter is not supplied. As an example, currently if someone doesn't have a <code>p3d</code> parameter in this template on their userpage, it will put "Don't own" next to the ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' icon. I don't think this is a good thing, as it may be incorrect if someone hasn't updated their userpage in a few years. Other people put interesting statements in each of the parameters, but a "Don't own" appearing when a new game comes out is a bit odd in comparison. Changing the template to make the row not appear if there's no parameter for a game would fix these issues. Now, there are probably some people who intend for it to say "Don't own" in some these spots, so before making this change, someone would have to go through and update userpages where there's a clear intent of certain games appearing as "Don't own". But in other cases, this change would be an improvement.

:Agreed. Even if some users were relying on that default value, it's not like the infobox will be wrong after this change, it will just be missing some info. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:06, December 24, 2021 (EST) | |||

Don't own
I propose that this template be changed to make the game status rows not appear if a parameter is not supplied. As an example, currently if someone doesn't have a p3d parameter in this template on their userpage, it will put "Don't own" next to the Pikmin 3 Deluxe icon. I don't think this is a good thing, as it may be incorrect if someone hasn't updated their userpage in a few years. Other people put interesting statements in each of the parameters, but a "Don't own" appearing when a new game comes out is a bit odd in comparison. Changing the template to make the row not appear if there's no parameter for a game would fix these issues. Now, there are probably some people who intend for it to say "Don't own" in some these spots, so before making this change, someone would have to go through and update userpages where there's a clear intent of certain games appearing as "Don't own". But in other cases, this change would be an improvement. What do you think? — Soprano(talk) 23:56, December 20, 2021 (EST)
