About type

The type field will sort the page to the corresponding category. The category list can be found at .../wiki/Module:Infobox_XXX_Homebrews (replace XXX with GB/GBA/DS/3DS/PSP/Vita/WiiU/Switch/XBOX).

Notes

The Homebrew Cartridge table was added quite late; to avoid complicating the database we used these Infobox fields for the data:

  • discussion (url for the Purchase info column)
  • portedby (Name of the url for the Purchase info column)
  • contributor (used for Availability, this has been removed from the table)
