From my previous example, Sonic CD's potential tags (taken from Wikipedia for sake of simplicity):

Problem is with doing that detailed stuff is that many many games have their developers uncredited (usually when I credit them I do like Sega/Aspect in my sheets for example and use a reliable source for the info) and might be a little too much. Professionalism is good but your idea even though it is good might be unsettling for the younger folks who just come and take a sheet of a character for a comic or a fangame.
However if used, I can see no problem.
