Template talk:Type Code

I guess we ought to have a uniform way to list creator codes, in addition to type codes. We could add a parameter to this template (pretty easy), or add a parameter to the FormatInfo template (harder, at least for me). Or, since the FormatInfo param is basically free-form, we could make no template changes, and just decide on a way to write it that supports creator codes.

Is there a standard way to write the combination of a creator and type code, in the Mac world? Like "CCCC::TTTT", or "c=CCCC/t=TTTT"? How should we deal with the presumably common situation where an article covers formats with a single creator code, but multiple type codes that go with it? Jsummers (talk) 15:57, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
