  • Do not add dump to DoM unless you are going to add it properly+fully and have got as much info off the dumper as you reasonably can.
  • Serials should be separated with a comma and no space
  • Box barcodes should be added on their own line in Comment+ like
    Box barcode: X XXXXX XXXXX X<tab>XXXXX
    (preserving spaces if there are any and putting an actual tab to represent gaps between different "barcode boxes"). Put a comma (no space) if the two barcodes are completely separate.
  • Publisher/developer serials on carts should be recorded in their own line in Comment+ like
    [Company name] serial on [box/cart] [front/back]: XXXXXXXX
    • For consistency, list Company names used in DoM for this purpose here:
      • Activision
    • If you don't know what code company (if any) they are for, just put them down as for example Additional cart front serial in the Comment+
  • If the language hasn't been checked, make a discussion called !langs-not-checked. The body of the discussion doesn't have to the same.
  • HTTP response headers should be added in the Comment+, ma starting with !http-response-header-start and then a newline and ending with a newline and !http-response-header-end.
  • PC game platforms should be added like !platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux a line on the sticky note (in that order)
