Converting Rating to Subpages?
Hi LobStor,

I'm not clear if you're aware or not, but we currently face a serious problem with the Ratings template. More or less, the "list" pages include many hundreds of uses of the template, which is too much for the current wiki server to handle resulting in errors being shown. Migrating the ratings to subpages does make their handling a bit cleaner, but I fear it may exacerbate the errors seen with the list pages and cause them to have to be broken up more than they already are.

 * I'll fix this, which will temporarily mean a revert. The errors are caused by  which is an "expensive" parser function.  22:30, 29 May 2011 (CEST)
 * edit: once most of the ratings have been rolled into the subpages, the templates won't need the ifexist tag, and should mostly function within the same limitations as before. I'd like to keep the new templates, for now, unless we run into a problem where our current lists will not render. I'll keep an eye on Category:Pages with too many expensive parser function calls, and begin moving ratings into subpages. This will probably take a few days. 22:44, 29 May 2011 (CEST)

About Template:CurrentRevision
You apparently are an advanced user to MetaWiki, so I think that you can help on this template. We need some way of making this template to be updated automatically when some change occur on http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/source/list. I've tried by embedding a RSS feed reader (based on JavaScript) on template to return the current revision, but they always crashed the wiki, resulting in a "500: Internal Server Error". Now, periodically we have to manually edit this template, that is very annoyng to do every time that a commit is made, since none of us can be connected 24 hours per day to update this...

Preserving Blank Talk Pages?
As you reverted my purges of blanked Talk pages, I'm presuming you want to preserve their history. I can accept such, though I'd still like some way to distinguish active Talk discussions from useless blank pages. Once can easily find the talk pages via... http://wiki.dolphin-emulator.com/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=&namespace=1 ...but I can't work out a means to filter out blanked pages without ongoing discussion. Do you have any hints to enable such? Kolano 05:30, 22 June 2011 (CEST)
