=== Global Replacement Request ===
A spot to capture global replacement requests:
* Update testing/entry template to always include "tester=" field. [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 01:36, 29 May 2015 (CEST)
* Remove all |title= and |platforms= parameters from infobox. (It might be worth looking first for what pages still need |title=, like [[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Metroid Prime: Trilogy)]]. Maybe they can also be automated.) - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 06:02, 5 September 2017 (CEST)
* Add {{tl|VideoGallery}} to all game pages. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 06:02, 5 September 2017 (CEST)
=== Titles without GameINI entries vs Rating ===
=== Titles without GameINI entries vs Rating ===
Okay, I'll get straight to the point. I don't think that problems caused due incorrect configuration (e.g. a non-default setting or a title with missing GameINI) should affect the rating of such title. Since we have established that entries under Problems section '''do affect''' the rating, my proposal is moving those entries related to issues that happen due incorrect configuration to the Emulation Information (as it's caused due bad config, not due an inaccuracy of the emulator) and leave the Problems section just for problems that will happen regardless of the settings (these are the real problems to my understanding). Given how the wiki evolved those years this feel natural to me (e.g. we already do the same with entries of enhancements that causes issues being on Enhancements instead of the Problems section) and I think it would at least alleviate the issues we have with the current rating system. Some "real-world" examples of what I'm proposing can be seen in [[Amazon Instant Video Channel]], [[Crunchyroll Channel]], [[Hulu Plus Channel]], [[YouTube Channel]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. - [[User:mbc07|mbc07]] ([[User talk:mbc07|talk]]) 01:56, 13 March 2017 (CET)
