About type

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)
