While working on the Dolphin Manual I've realized that it's going to have content box that will GIGANTIC. The biggest content box on the wiki ever. It will be even worse than the [[FAQ]]. I need a way to deal with this. Looking around, I found this: [[wikipedia:Template:TOC limit]] on wikipedia. It looks extremely simple, with very short code, and it would help. Honestly I'd rather have a put the TOC into the sidebar, like the mainsite's faq, but since we can't do that... this will do. Do you guys have any better ideas, or should I go on ahead and try this template? (and inevitably break something and need Jhonn to bail me out :P) - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 06:47, 18 April 2013 (CEST) | While working on the Dolphin Manual I've realized that it's going to have content box that will GIGANTIC.

: Well, this fix the issues with the big TOC, so, you should try... The template is very simple, the only possible issue would be with our custom CSS schemes, but it should work without any problem - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) | : Well, this fix the issues with the big TOC, so, you should try...

Just so you know, MaJoR is probably aware of it since we already talked about it on IRC: the guides displayed on http://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/ are now hosted on the Dolphin Wiki. I purposely did not make it too obvious on the website (no link to the wiki page, no edit link, etc.) to avoid attracting vandals. | Just so you know, MaJoR is probably aware of it since we already talked about it on IRC: the guides displayed on http://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/ are now hosted on the Dolphin Wiki.

Now that we actually have access to the wiki on a basic level, I'm been investigating how to automate tasks here around the wiki. Stuff like updating the list of games, manipulating categories, on and on could be done wiki-wide with a script. We could potentially even kill spambots with it (or at least flag them to make clean up easier). There are all kinds of things we could do. Now obviously, I'm an artist, not a programmer, so my contributions to this are limited. But I can learn things quickly. Anyway, I think this could go a long way to help us save a ton of time in large scale modifications, and let us do things like updating game lists more often. For reference, here are some bots and scripts I found while looking around: [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Bots/Status|Bot Status]] - [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:List of bots by number of edits|Bot list sorted by edits]] - [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts|User Scripts List]] - [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:WikiProject User scripts/Tutorial|User Scripts Tutorial]]. | Now that we actually have access to the wiki on a basic level, I'm been investigating how to automate tasks here around the wiki.

=== Importing game banners on the Wiki === | === Importing game banners on the Wiki === | ||
As you may have seen on the forums, I've been crowdsourcing the collect of game banner images (the 96x32 images used in the Dolphin game list). These images should probably be hosted somewhere on the wiki like the covers, but I don't know how you want to handle that. Could someone look into adding banners for a few games? I will then use a bot to import everything. | As you may have seen on the forums, I've been crowdsourcing the collect of game banner images (the 96x32 images used in the Dolphin game list).
