Video Game Database Discussion / Ratings on Items with Multiple Ratings

« on: December 28, 2023, 07:13:39 pm »

Hey

I had a recent rejected edit on an item because I used the wrong rating (USK) on it, even though it was a general European release ( https://vgcollect.com/item/142190 ). So ELSPA would have been correct since it's not a German exclusive. - This one is clear to me.

I  just created the German entry for Persona 5 Tactica on Switch ( https://vgcollect.com/item/259181 ). Without a second thought I used the USK rating since everything on the box is German and I bought it in Germany.  After creation I saw the PEGI logo on box and after the recent rejected edit I wasn't sure if I need to switch the rating of the entry.

Looking into the Advanced Style Guide and the explanation for ratings with the example of Baten Kaitos, I'd say the info provided is correct (To save the search: https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,10837.msg178222.html#msg178222 ). But looking into Baten Kaitos ( https://vgcollect.com/item/151319 ) the rating was changed from USK to PEGI even though this entry is the example for using the USK on multi-rating-entries. Since someone had to approve the edit, I'm not quite sure if I miss something here, the Style Guide should be updated or if the edit should be reversed.

Video Game Database Discussion / Editing entries with mixed PAL-regions

« on: April 18, 2021, 03:07:10 pm »

Hey all,

first post, I hope it's okay to start a new topic for this, I didn't find something for this in the forum.
I hope this is not to incomprehensible, I'm from Germany and there are definitely better Englisch speakers.

I was wondering what I should do when I encounter an item with mixed regions.

As an exaple I take this item: https://vgcollect.com/item/11756

Front Box Art:
Represents the German version (SNSP-AXOP-NOE). It has the gray "PAL VERSION" printed beneath the red "SUPER NINTENDO". The French / Benelux version (SNSP-AXOP-FAH) has something printed in Dutch and French. The European version (SNSP-AXOP-EUR) has nothing beneath.

Back Box Art:
Represents the French / Benelux version. It's the only one with two languages. The German one has only German, the European one has three languages (English, Spanish and Italian).

Cart/Disc/Media Art:
Represents the French / Benelux version. There are two lines printed above the item number. The German and European version has only one line above.

Item number:
SNSP-AXOP-NOE, therefore the German version. But it doesn't match the Back Box- / Cart Art.

Should I change
 1. title, front art and item number to the FAH-version, because it matches the cartridge which has the item number
 2. title, back art and cart art to the NOE-version, because it matches the item number
 3. front art, back art, cart and item number to the EUR-version, because the Style Guide wants the general European / UK version without TLDs in the title?

I hope someone can help me.

Thanks!
