Since this is indeed the English Wiki, it makes sense that there's only a few non-English sources in the template. But a few more prominent ones wouldn't hurt, so I am requesting these two. Both are print magazines, they're already listed as reliable on WP:VG/S, and they have an extensive history (February 1996 for Strana Igr and January 1995 for Level). Thank!

Implement changes in Module:Video game reviews/sandbox and Module:Video game reviews/data/sandbox, which inverts the color scheme to support dark mode. Snowmanonahoe ( talk · contribs · typos) 23:09, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
I quickly browsed talk archives but couldn't find anything relevant (please link if discussed already)...
I stumbled upon the Ghostbusters (1984 video game) page which led me to Module:Video game reviews/data.
For some unfathomable reason it seems the support for 80s home computer reviews is very sparse. I could add "C64" for Commodore 64 reviews, but there is neither support for Apple II nor "SMS" (which I presume refers to Sega Master System).
There's an absolute TRUCKLOAD of 8-bit systems not supported by your module.
Is there a reason for this? Before I attempt to Template:Video_game_reviews#How_to_add_a_new_platform, could it be that computer games are meant to use a different template than video game reviews - at least, that's about the only reason I can come up with? CapnZapp ( talk) 10:12, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
Is there a reason for this?No one has asked for it thus far is the primary reason. Template editors can't necessarily be exhaustive or knowledgable on every possible system, and it's been added to as people request. -- ferret ( talk) 14:29, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
