==Regular tasks==
 
== Testing ==
You can help complete the compatibility list by updating the ratings of the unrated titles. If necessary please revise title ratings based on testing.
 
The categories below are generated by testing templates providing age of testing details that could get some update.
*[[:Category:Untested]] ({{PAGESINCAT:Untested}})

Else you can play and rate '''[[:Category:0_stars_(Rating)|Unrated Titles]]''', create notes in the version compatibility chart, play and affirm problem entries by generating issues for '''[[:Category:Pages_with_active_problems_missing_issue_links|Problems /wo Issue Links]]'''.

I don't do templates, but it may be worth considering to adding it here, either was vgrelease new or incorporating into our vgrelease somehow." [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] 21:54, 17 July 2012 (CEST)

Here is a list of stuff that needs doing on the wiki. Feel free to add anything you feel that needs to be done.

Testing

You can help complete the compatibility list by updating the ratings of the unrated titles. If necessary please revise title ratings based on testing.

The categories below are generated by testing templates providing age of testing details that could get some update.

Else you can play and rate Unrated Titles, create notes in the version compatibility chart, play and affirm problem entries by generating issues for Problems /wo Issue Links.

Issue Tracker Alignment

We need to scan through the Dolphin Issue Tracker and align articles here with issues. Oldest issue needing alignment: issue 267.

Config Template

  • Improve config documentation on Template page.
  • Update to generate additional error categories (non-on/off values, missing notes, etc.) Kolano 09:18, 3 July 2011 (CEST)

Infobox

  • Clean up publisher/release date info to indicate differing region releases more appropriately (see Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon)

Complete list of Dolphin hotkeys

There is apparently no comprehensive list anywhere of all the hotkeys that work in Dolphin. How do we take screenshots without going to the menu, for example? This wiki would be the perfect place for such a list. The only hotkey I know of is Alt-F5 to enable the Wii Remote. Flang 08:05, 23 July 2016 (CST)

In Dolphin, go to Options => Hotkey settings. Since most (if not all) of Dolphin Hotkeys can be user configured, I'm not sure if a list of hotkeys would work well... - mbc07 (talk) 18:51, 23 July 2016 (CEST)
Thank you for pointing me to the hotkeys menu in Dolphin. The way they are layed out in that menu is very confusing for new users like me - Apparently if a key is mapped like (!(LMENU | RMENU) & !(LSHIFT | RSHIFT) & !(LCONTROL | RCONTROL)) & `F1` - that means to press F1. I guess I still think it would be helpful to have a default list of hotkeys available on the wiki, but it's not a big deal. -Flang 08:53, 24 July 2016 (CST)
