uvl-non-description, The game itself not described by the description provided.

For use when no description of the game is currently present in the articles of the game, yet it is marked as having a description. I'll use one of my own currently inadequate entries as an example, [[gameid:8243 Stack Up]]. This is so editors can enter the limited information they have but put a 'bad mark' on it to remind them to come back and fill it in later. Also, when a platform nears completeness, the uvl-non-description will make finding the inadequate entries easy.


uvl-non-image, The screen shots provided are woefully inantiquate

It will eventually need to be replaced, or there are not a compile title, in-game, ending, sprite, and characters set. Useful for rare games and prototypes that are know to exist but currently not available to make screenshots from. Instead, a magazine scan, early version, or other alternate source is used.


uvl-non-title

The game is known to have been released in a different region but the title of it their is not confirmed.


uvl-non-hardware

When a game apparently uses hardware that is not completely known. For instance, a Sega game advertises that it is 1-3 players but which multitap format it uses is not known, or if it doesn't even require one for 3 players.


uvl-non-platform

Game requires a platform subset, or specific model of the platform, or lacks compatibility with a specific model of the platform, or requires an odd combination of platforms. 32XCD, CDTV, CD32, Jornada 820/820e, Agenda PDA, and so on.
Also several times in UVL history, games for a platform not in the database have been added to a different platform at first. For instance, OS X games are currently in the Mac platform, OS/2 are in Linux and ?Windows, BeOS in Linux (even though they're as different as Linux and XP), iPod is in Newton, XEGS in Atari 8-bit, HP 3000/e3000 and many other mainfraim games are in DEC PDP-1, Nuon in DVD, PC-88VA in ?PC8801/MS-DOS/PC9801/MSX?, SGI in Linux, SPARC in Linux, ans so on.
