Rating and Censorship/Rating Organisations

International Game Developers Association

  The contents of Rating and Censorship/Rating Organisations are in-development. Please be patient while changes are formulated. Thank you!

Rating organisations usually rate the games in a region against specific guidelines. On each organisations page you will find information on:

• Who runs them
• History of the organisation
• Contact information
• How to get a game rated through the organisation
• Guideline and rating information (what the ratings they do are)
• Censorship information and history
• Related laws the organisation upholds or uses
• What regions they rate games from

Adding a rating organisation

All the entries above are in alphabetical order, with the link being the full organisation name like so:

* [[/British Board of Film Classification|British Board of Film Classification (BBFC)]]

The Acronym should be noted in brackets. In the case of two being named the same, such as New Zealand and Australia's, while the full names are different, the first acronym will lead to one, and a slightly altered one will go to the other.

For the general page content layout, see the Example Organisation page.
