:::::I don't even think that this instance is rewarding enough in the long run. Essentially, we're talking  about  a set far too large - at least, what, three-quarters of the 2k pages on the wiki? - and prone to vary in the future to viably set as a #switch list in the template itself (or a meta-template connected to it).
:::::That means doing it as an #if [i.e., "if the category and ssb/ssb64 variables are both filled out, then add to "Cat:*category* (SSB)"  and similar #ifs again for the other games]. Which involves just as much work/risk of typos/risk of miscategorisation as simply adding the category/ies to the bottom of each page and thus works against the natural way the categorisation system is built without a clear benefit (whereas the Unofficial lingo and Featured article categories should always be present when the icons are and vice-versa, and so it makes things  simpler rather than more complicated to include them in the template). - [[User:Reboot|Reboot]] ([[User talk:Reboot|talk]]) 17:54, 30 June 2011 (EDT)
