There's some overlap between the Arcade genre and the Arcade VC titles. It's an issue Kolano wants to fix (see General Discussion). In the mean time, be careful not to assign the Arcade Global problems (which is ONLY for Arcade VC Titles) to wiiware, wii, or other games. - MaJoR (talk) 12:15, 7 September 2013 (CEST)

Dolphin Manual
So uh, why are you working on the Dolphin Manual? You realize it's extremely out of date and one of the creators (me) wants to kill it, right? Having images just makes that harder, without fixing the tremendous problems that make it necessary to exterminate. - MaJoR (talk) 01:57, 7 August 2014 (CEST)

Recommended Accessories Edits Removal
You do great work here on the wiki, so I wanted to personally tell you the precise reasoning for reverting your edits to the Recommended Accessories page. First of all, it's an official page that is on the main site, and is referenced in many places. It's important that everything on it is vetted to be accurately the thing that it says it is and something that is directly related to dolphin. For example, it has gamecube controllers because this is a gamecube emulator and using gamecube controllers and adapters brings dolphin closer to accurate emulation. So no generic controllers should be on the guide, only things that specifically help with getting closer to accurate emulation. Another is that the amazon account, while providing a (small) sum to help developers get accessories, but also stamps it with authenticity. Anything from that account you know came from top developers giving it clearance to be recommended by it. Very very few people have the keys to it. ...Which is actually an issue since we need to add more too it and it's hard to! Anyway, I'm really sorry for removing all of your hard work, and I hope there aren't any hard feelings. I'm sorry I wasn't able to catch it sooner, but with all of the articles and citra work I'm doing lately, I'm not able to come here as often as I used to. :( - MaJoR (talk) 09:26, 15 May 2015 (CEST)
 * No apologies needed. It's not my thing. I only just frown upon no matter what people did to me. But I'd be appreciated when you're improving that page using my old edits, I guess. Lucario (talk) 11:41, 15 May 2015 (CEST)

Infobox Edits
Your edits seem to have broken the Infobox VG template. I'm likely to revert them back shortly.

I don't think the edits you've been making on the Infobox template will be well supported anyway. We currently only list "Platform" on VC titles, so we would never generate a "Category:Wii titles that use Classic Controller" as there should be no pages that list "Wii" as a platform. In the case of the VC titles, the supported controlled are almost never different, so these categories would just become duplicates of the pre-existing VC categories. In general, if we want something like this, I'd think it might be better to look into adding an "intersection" extension to the wiki, which would allow for auto-generating sub-categories based on the inclusion of other categories.

 * My original intention was to create a list that show all Wii games with controller specific support. For example, "Wii titles that use GameCube Controller". I think it's nice addition to this Dolphin wiki. In earlier edit in sandbox I've added them instead of replacing the existing controller set. It should work out of the box (sort of, it depends on |platforms=, unfortunately). Then I ultimately replaced them as I think it's bit odd to see like this:


 * Category:Classic Controller (Input supported)
 * Category:Wii titles that use Classic Controller
 * Category:GameCube Controller (Input supported)
 * Category:Wii titles that use GameCube Controller
 * Category:Nunchuk (Input supported)
 * Category:Wii titles that use Nunchuk
 * Category:Wii Remote (Input supported)
 * Category:Wii titles that use Wii Remote


 * While I know "GameCube titles that use GameCube Controller" is very silly and redundant, but that can be kept separated from other platforms, and as an replacement for "GameCube Controller (Input supported). Such as, the link Category:GameCube Controller (Input supported) in GameCube game pages. It's sheer obvious that every GameCube titles will use GameCube controllers. They're basically a duplication of the list of GameCube games, with other platforms only to add clutter to it. Indeed, the current controller categories are a mess at the moment. If one user want to view Wii titles that use GameCube Controller, they will have to read through list of irrelevant platforms. Some titles don't use GameCube Controller, while others do, so it's realistic to see platform x controller categories to exist.


 * I've created "|system=" because due to my limited coding abilities, I can't parse each system into "[SYSTEM] that use [CONTROLLER]", such as if there was Nintendo 64 and Virtual Console in the infobox.


 * But since you've deleted the categories that Infobox VG (with my edits) was going to take advantage of, my edits are complete pointless.


 * Any part of it that you'd like to detract other than the need to update every game pages to take advantage of my changes? I'm thinking of just add specific Wii game pages that support GameCube controller to subcategory Category:Wii titles that use GameCube Controller. Is that cool with you?

Please talk to us before doing big structural changes to the way our templates work... Even I won't change things like that without talking to everyone to make sure they are fine with it! Big changes that effect everything need to be agreed upon. Btw, if the idea is to allow for cross referencing of controllers, a plugin would be great for that! - MaJoR (talk) 19:56, 20 September 2015 (CEST)
