New page

Just something I'm working on. Should be possible to create an automatic archive of games using the new DynamicPageList extension. As we add new pages to the category, we can create a sortable, paginated list of all pages in that category, and have them fit a specific format (like the new Users listing I'm working on).

The final result
* each archived game will have a page associated with it. That page will contain this info box in addition to any commentary, screenshots, or other information we want to put on the page.
* a sortable list of archived games that is automatically updated when any new pages are added to the archive category

If you can think of any additional game properties that would be helpful to sort on, please add them to this talk page. Some that I'm still considering are:
* specific patches (IS, CargoDest, etc)
* ML style (loop, linear, chaos)
* ML size (3-3 for LLLRRR, 3 for LLL)
* SML, ISML
* Y/N for additional vehicles used in planned network (boats, planes, RVs)

 :If either of those three is specified, I think we should indeed consider to add the used patch version so that the game can be re-opened later on by compiling an appropriately patched source - or the game will be lost forever.

 :I'm very much in favour of this. Definitely in favour of adding two or three additional servers: Dev, H2h, Others
