Text replacement - "(={2,})([^\s=])(.+)([^\s=])(={2,})" to "$1 $2$3$4 $5"
(Moving DX9 to fixed. Not moving HLE mentions cause I STILL occasionally find those bloody things lying around.)

*Add more infobox options for pages that don't fit the usual molds. For example, [[System Menu]] and [[Broadband Adapter]] do not need compatibility, so they use the platforms template. And that means loosing out on details they could have. [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] 02:53, 24 July 2012 (CEST)

**The template parameter be Title rather than Series based. Such could allow a default template to be included on every page (i.e. outputting nothing if there was no relevant navigation). Unfortunately that's not compatible with my prior suggestion, so we probably need some further discussion.

*Revision template no longer links back to changes for that version since the transition to GIT. I think correcting such will require a build to GIT ID mapping established.

===Regarding documentation of game-specific .ini-files===
=== Regarding documentation of game-specific .ini-files ===
This thing needs to be discussed, so as to see what resources might be available to us (e.g. documentation from the devs) and what, if anything, we can do about it. It is a rather large part of Dolphin, and one that, if properly documented, can be extremely convenient to end-users. A great example of this would be a game like [[Klonoa]], which for all intents and purposes works excellently, but that needs the "EuRGB60 Mode (PAL60)" option switched off to do so, something which most games do not need. In this case, it'd be great to have that option switched on in the game .ini, so that a user wouldn't have to open up the options dialog every single time he or she wants to play that one specific game (compare and contrast with [[Metroid Prime (GC)]], that needs "EFB to RAM" to work properly, and which has that option switched on by default in the game .ini).

===Harden User Registration===
=== Harden User Registration ===
The problem of spam bots creating accounts and generating junk pages seems to be escalating. There have been 13 of them today (Sep 19th,2012), 8 the day before, and 6 the day before that. It would be good if we could harden the user registration process somewhat to better keep them out. (Done by Parlane during the site move. Added reCaptcha. - November 2012)
