Template:Game help

The following article or section is in need of assistance from someone who owns '.

This template is to be used whenever an article or section is lacking in information regarding a specific game or region/version. For instance, suppose an European editor creates an article for a gameplay mechanic for Pikmin that is known to be different in the US version of New Play Control! Pikmin. Because this editor does not own the later game, they can leave this template with the parameter "npcpu" to alert users who own that game about the missing information.

The first parameter is the game code. This comes in the format of the game's acronym followed by the region's letter, if any, without spaces in-between. The game acronyms are:

• p: Pikmin.
• p2: Pikmin 2.
• npcp: New Play Control! Pikmin
• npcp2: New Play Control! Pikmin 2
• p3: Pikmin 3.

The region letters are:

• j: Japan.
• u: US.
• e: Europe.

So, for instance, for the Japanese version of Pikmin 3, this would be "p3j". The region is optional, so if, for example, you write an article on a common gameplay mechanic that is different in Pikmin 3, and you do not own that game, you can just use "p3", to refer to any version of Pikmin 3.

The second parameter is optional, but recommended; you can use it to provide detailed information on what is needed.
