Display bug with multiple system requirement tables with tabs

[JeffRuLz0 0]

Hello, today I added the steam/gog system requirements to the The I of the Dragon page. I wanted to make a new section to separate the retail requirements from the digital ones. The Half-Life page was formatted this way so I imitated that.

Afterwards I noticed that the OS tabs were bugged on both pages. The Mac and Linux tabs for the steam version were positioned onto the table for the retail version. I'm sure this is because pages are expected to have only one system requirements table.

1) Is this a legitimate wiki bug?

2) If not, what is the proper way to insert multiple system requirement tables onto a page?

This sort of setup is not supported by the wiki. It only supports one set of system requirements for each OS family. It was not designed to handle multiple separate editions in the way those pages use them. See the Editing Guide for the full guidelines.

So the fix, for now, is to remove the retail system requirements from the page. This also ties into how PCGW articles are meant to cover a fully up-to-date and modern version of the game -- we do not really concern ourselves with outdated/inaccessible versions in that vein.

I see, I thought that would be the case.

I noticed the Half-Life 2 page has a note underneath the table listing the old requirements, would that be a suitable compromise?

That's unfortunate to read. I'm the kind of person who still collects physical copies of old PC games and getting them to work on modern computers was what drew me to the site in the first place. Many pages are filled with fixes labeled for retail copies of games and it doesn't seem right to strip away information because a game got re-released.

As the site moves forward I hope disc copies of games can continue to be represented in some way.
