Template:Video game multiple console reviews/doc

This template is based upon Video game reviews and provides an alternate version to display the reception/review scores of a particular video game. However with some games are released over many consoles and it can look ugly with the VG Reviews template like this article in the Reception section.

Usage
You first need to put any consoles that are being used: The code to use is as follows: Enter yes or true into any console used. If not used leave blank or delete the parameter.

Then enter:
 * XXX_YYY =

where XXX is the reviewer and YYY is the console.

The reviewers are as possible (sub XXX with a code following:)

How to add a new console
A complicated process:
 * Define a code for the new console (eg. “PS2” for PlayStation 2)
 * Determine its alphabetical order, and the console code preceding and succeeding it. (eg. For PS2, the PS precedes, and the PS3 succeeds)
 * Copy ALL of the code on the template into Microsoft Word or a word processor which allows Find and Replace. wikEd has this function.

Let the preceding console code be XXX, the new console code YYY and the succeeding code ZZZ. Substitute XXX, YYY, ZZZ. Do not substitute AAA.


 * Find: "_XXX|}}}|}}}}}|}}}}{{#if:{{{ZZZ|}}}"

That should do it. Though if it doesn’t, I hope you can figure it out. You then have to manually replace AAA, with the reviewer in that section of code.

You have to also increment the colspan on line 9 and line 12. You also have to add the new console to the header bar at the top section which starts on line 14.

How to add a new reviewer
A simple solution is to copy and paste an existing reviewer and then find and replace the old reviewer prefix with the newer one. A basic text editing program like Notepad can be used to accomplish this.
 * Click Wikipedia's edit button
 * Find an existing portion of code for a single reviewer
 * Copy the code and past it into the text editing program
 * Use the "find and replace" function to search for the original XXX prefix for the reviewer and replace it with the new prefix
 * Past the new code into the appropriate place (alphabetically) of the existing template code
 * Be sure to provide an appropriate wikilink if available
