The purpose of this section is to track discussions and changes from the moderation team, regarding systems, conventions, etc.

  • 2022 08-26: Discussed Unlicensed editions when multiple exist, or something other than standard. Use parenthesis such as: Unlicensed (Limited Edition) to identify the specific edition.
  • 2022 06-09: Discussed bundled discs and updated the disc contributions FAQ. Most movies aren't accepted unless they are based on established video game IP. Mod discretion will be used for content allowance.
  • 2022 06-06: Discussed compilation discs with multiple games/titles on them. They should be recorded in the database separated by the '/' character, unless another character is used on the item.
  • 2022 06-04: Official pressed Photo CDs are all eligible, regardless of content.
  • 2022 06-04: Discussed hybrid discs, where one system is eligible for redump and one isn't. For example, a PC/Amiga hybrid that isn't game related. In these cases, the disc will be eligible if any system is eligible, and it will be added to the (eligible) system's dat. In this example, Amiga.
  • 2022 05-26: Discussed and confirmed that for transliterated Russian titles, only the first letter of the transliterated title is capitalized, and/or Names / first words in sentences. It should effectively follow the capitalization used in the Russian title.
    • For example, "Анабиоз: Сон разума" should be transliterated to "Anabioz: Son razuma.
  • 2022 04-03: Discussed and confirmed use of the GOST 7.79-2000 standard for transliteration of Russian titles
  • 2002 03-13: Discussed NUON enhanced DVDs, and all are permitted due to the low quantity.
  • 2022 01-27: Discussed ordering of tags in comments and contents, and updated full list here: http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Special_Site_Codes

Special / Unique Situations / FAQ:

  • 2022 05-18: If a disc is dual-sided, where one side of the disc contains gaming content, but the other does not, since the disc cannot be separated and contains gaming content, both sides are eligible for addition to redump.
    • Example: a Cartoon Network PC disc that has games on one side and some cartoons on the other.
