Nintendo seems to prefer calling it "Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3". It refers to the Wii version but it's the same game.

I would think if you wanted this to be a database for games, the priority would be preserving data as is and not based it on scrapability. I do understand the need to be able to scrap titles but couldn't this be done with additional fields? Couldn't the No-Intro data be Incorporated into the game data base? Same with EmuMovies, have a way to save there titles into the database for better matching. As for Super Mario Advance 3, I find it hard to believe that they really wanted it called "Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island". All indications point to them wanting "Yoshi's Island" as the main title, and lesser importance to the series name "Super Mario Advance 3", You can check out the images from the database and on MobyGames.

Hello everyone, Just trying to see if it's worth editing in the database. I've submitted a few edits to see how well it goes. Not sure how I like the anonymous thing. Makes it hard to keep track of problem mods. But with enough active mods, guess this shouldn't be a problem? I'm use to editing being open, MusicBrainz. Just wanted to as a few questions. 1) How do you guys like to handle subtitles? Example: Tomb Raider: The Prophecy Would you guys like... All colons (MusicBrainz style): Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: The Prophecy Colon and Dash (this is what I submitted): Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Prophecy Colon and Parenthesis (don't think you guys would like this): Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (The Prophecy) 2) How would you guys like to handle series naming and naming in general (altered is OK or as is): Example: Super Mario Advance Currently, it's what I call series friendly. 3rd in series has been switched around and the 1st has added text not in the title. But all conform to a series format for easy sorting. or do you guys prefer as is (my preference): "Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island" becomes "Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3" "Super Mario Advance: Super Mario Bros. 2" becomes "Super Mario Advance" Thanks in advance

Thanks, just what I was looking for.

Is there some sort of style guide I can take a look at on how to format titles? Also, is there a way to add links/notes to submissions to help moderators?
