The Fangames section can be augmented with a Cargo table and infobox, that makes data entry easier with a form, and allows metadata to be queried by third-party apps and more importantly, search engines.
Fields
title- The title of the game.platform- The game platforms that were supported by the game: Windows, Mac, Linux, or maybe even actual consoles (if it is a romhack).romhack- Whether the game is a ROMHack or built from scratch. (Default: No)franchise- The original franchise the game is based on (e.g. Metroid, Mario, Chrono Trigger).- If it is not a fan game, you should use an actual Game template instead (also needs to be made).
release_date- Date the game was released to the public.takedown_date- Date that the game was issued a DMCA takedown notice, if any.homepage_url- Homepage of the game.community_url- Primary community/subreddit for the game.download_url- URL where you download the game.
Use categories in the free text section to function as tags. Category:Fangame is automatically applied (maybe that page should be the new main page for this).
