But why?
I'm curious what the goal/use of this category is?
I think an external link in the lead to the DB search entry might be very useful. You could click on it and go to that information. e.g.: http://bootgod.dyndns.org:7777/search.php?ines=3
This category, though, doesn't seem to offer any convenience or useful information. If you want to know NesDB information about the mapper, you still have to manually go to the site and search for it. What's the point of the category, exactly?
It's also woefully incomplete, but that's easy to address. I'm just thinking, if I were to go to the effort of tagging them all, wouldn't it be a better effort to remove the category entirely, and just add links? -- Rainwarrior (talk) 15:37, 18 April 2015 (MDT)
