The magazine ''[[Mean Machines]]'' differs from ''[[Mean Machines#Mean Machines Sega and Nintendo Magazine System|Mean Machines Sega]]'' which came about after ''Mean Machines'' split into two, along with ''Nintendo Magazine System'' (see the article for more info). The lack of a separate reviewer for Mean Machines has lead to inaccuracies in ''Video game reviews'' template data such as in the [[ActRaiser]] article which lists it as having being reviewed by ''Mean Machines Sega'' instead of the original ''Mean Machines''; this is somewhat preposterous given that ActRaiser was a game for a Nintendo system, ''Mean Machines Sega'' is a magazine exclusively for Sega games, and the rivalry that existed between the two companies at the time. Please consider adding ''Mean Machines'' to the list of reviewers so that inaccuracies such as that of the ActRaiser article can be easily fixed. I also noticed that the ''[[Mean Machines Sega]]'' link provided by the template is a redirect rather than an article, so you may want to fix that too. Also consider adding ''Nintendo Magazine System'' to the list of reviewers for completeness and to help fix other inaccuracies where ''Nintendo Official Magazine'' is listed instead.

Request to add reviewer
I wish to suggest Final Weapon. I was planning to add this review of Concord. ISD (talk) 18:28, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- This source needs evaluated by WP:VG/S first. -- ferret (talk) 18:32, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Request to add a reviewer
I would like to add Pure Xbox (Abbreviated as PX). It is the Xbox version of Nintendo Life and Push Square, both of which are already in the template, and it has already been evaluated by WP:VG/S. MK at your service. 14:07, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
Request to update title parameter
Is there a way to change the title and subtitle parameter? The text for these does not show well in dark mode. See Berzerk_(video_game)#Reception for an example (through Dark mode obviously!) Andrzejbanas (talk) 11:39, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
Request change in the 1Up.com wikilink
I noticed that 1Up.com had been merged to form the 1Up Network a few years ago. Can you consider changing it to "{ "1Up.com", '1UP' }" in Module:Video game reviews/data to avoid a redirect? --Angeldeb82 (talk) 21:46, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- IMHO, the rename of the article should be reverted. It is principally about the website. The podcast network is a subtopic. IceWelder [✉] 18:57, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- When I try to get to the 1Up.com article link, it always redirects to the 1Up Network article instead. Angeldeb82 (talk) 19:38, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
- Yes. It was moved. IceWelder [✉] 20:14, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

The magazine Mean Machines differs from Mean Machines Sega which came about after Mean Machines split into two, along with Nintendo Magazine System (see the article for more info). The lack of a separate reviewer for Mean Machines has lead to inaccuracies in Video game reviews template data such as in the ActRaiser article which lists it as having being reviewed by Mean Machines Sega instead of the original Mean Machines; this is somewhat preposterous given that ActRaiser was a game for a Nintendo system, Mean Machines Sega is a magazine exclusively for Sega games, and the rivalry that existed between the two companies at the time. Please consider adding Mean Machines to the list of reviewers so that inaccuracies such as that of the ActRaiser article can be easily fixed. I also noticed that the Mean Machines Sega link provided by the template is a redirect rather than an article, so you may want to fix that too. Also consider adding Nintendo Magazine System to the list of reviewers for completeness and to help fix other inaccuracies where Nintendo Official Magazine is listed instead. 186.30.182.176 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 19:53, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
