2024-03-02: The wiki ran out of disk space, so things were not working. This has been resolved by adding another 5GB of quota ;-) Thanks to Tim Lindner for reporting the issues.
2020-05-17: If a page gives you an error about some revision not being found, just EDIT the page and the old page should appear in the editor. If it does, just SAVE that and the page should be restored. OS-9 Al (talk) 12:22, 17 May 2020 (CDT)

InfoBox Fields
Here is where we will figure out the various fields each InfoBox needs to have.
Common
Every InfoBox will have the following fields:
- Name (will use PAGENAME if not specified)
- Photo (will use PAGENAME.jpg if not specified)
- Caption (photo caption)
- Year (year of release, used as a category)
- Info Source (where did the data come from? Link to other website, or note magazine article, etc.)
People
Publication
- Pages - how many pages
- Publisher
- End Year - last year published
Book
- ISBN ?
- Format - Hardback, Paperback?
Software
- Category - Game, Productivity, Utility, OS, etc.
- Type - Shooter, Word Processor, Disk, etc.
- Graphics Mode - VDG/GIME mode: 32, 80, 256x192x2, etc.
- Memory - 32K, 64K, 128K, etc.
- Platform - CoCo 1/2, CoCo 3
- Requires - Joysticks, 6309, etc.
Hardware
- Category - Cartridge, Serial, ???
- Type - Floppy, Hard Drive, RS232, ???
When I make the master InfoBox, it will be the "one box to rule them all" and include the various sections depending on the type specified. Because of that, fields that are common to subsets need to be noted -- i.e., Software and Hardware might both have Category and Type, but only software would have Graphics Mode.
