:::::::::::We had a brief discussion about MD5 some time ago (look below at this same page). We do want to have MD5 hashes in the wiki, but while we have a good and reliable source of hashes for GameCube Games ([http://redump.org redump.org]), we haven't any for Wii games (I mean, some websites do have hashes for Wii games, like GameTDB, but it's often incomplete, missing a lot of games and the hashes aren't confirmed, AFAIK). The discussion did not progress after that, but that's something we do want. About RegExp, there's no way to do intermediate searches with our plugin. It works like "find < regexp sentence > then replace with < regexp sentence>", and that's all, there's no way to do another RegExp search based on the previous results. - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]])

::::::::::::Might I suggest a bot external from MediaWiki that is not a plug-in that is more sophisticated? I don't know how but I know they exist, or at least relevant pieces of code to make it work specifically for our needs. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 07:30, 7 November 2015 (CET)
::::::::Lucario, about the section name, I don't like Emulation Info neither Common Mistakes, but from the point you raised, Emulation Information seems a little better, we may stick with that. About raising it above Problems Section, I think we should (+1 from me), but it's a somewhat big structure change that affects a huge number of pages, I would like to hear from MaJoR and Kolano too before proceeding on that. And about rating the problems, well, that's another user against it, don't waste your time Wildgoosespeeder. - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]])

:::::::::It's not a waste of time if someone is attempting to make the Wiki better, Jhonn. There's a reason that the concept is being sandboxed right now. I don't know why you are so against the idea of someone trying to improve the Wiki's usability, probably for everyone. It's like you are trying to psych me out of it or something. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 05:16, 7 November 2015 (CET)
