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

*[[:Category:Untested for 2500+ revisions]] ({{PAGESINCAT:Untested for 2500+ revisions}})
 
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]]'''.

Someone needs to go through the remaining DSP HLE mentions and mark them as fixed. Excluding Mario, Zeldas, Pikmin, Mario Kart, and a few others (Zelda uCode games). Use this link - https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=500&offset=0&redirs=0&profile=default&search=%22dspengine%22 - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 23:27, 20 July 2013 (CEST)
 
=== GameID Import Issues ===
Skidau and Delroth imported gameIDs from GameTDB en masse. It's not everything, but it's a LOT. Unfortunately it left a lot of issues. Sometimes the script pointed to a sandbox, sometimes our pages have bad names and it confused it, on and on. Sometimes the wiki is right, sometimes the wiki is wrong, sometimes the script just goofed, either way, it needs human brains to look over these errors manually and sort them out. I already got started on some, but it's very late, so I wasn't able to get very far... I'll pick it back up tomorrow. All the help I can get is appreciated, but please do it either top to bottom or bottom to top, as that is easy to coordinate with.
 
Skidau has made a list of all the problems the script encountered: http://www.mediafire.com/file/nmnx6t7534n10st/badmatches.txt
 
It is presented with these items, in this order: what the script set the gameID to point to, what the GameID is, and what the script was trying to find. - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 18:07, 5 February 2013 (CET)
 
I've cleaned up the remaining items. The following are linked correctly, but there are significant differences in the spelling of the JP text that may be appropriate to investigate...
*NHK Kōhaku Quiz Gassen
vs. Minna ga Shuyaku no NHK Kōhaku Quiz Kassen
*Densha de Go Shinkansen EX
vs. Let's Go By Train Shinkansen EX
*Shikakui Atama wo Maru Kusuru: Mainichi Minna no Challenge Hen
vs Shikakui Atama wo Marukusuru Wii
 
Taking a look at the [http://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/missing-gameid.txt missing-gameid.txt]. Something seems strange with most of them as they are 7 characters rather than 6. From some quick poking, some seem to be prefixed with known gameIDs (i.e. S6RP521=S6RP52:Wreck-it Ralph (EU); RX9P691=RX9P69:Need for Speed: Undercover (EU)), the postfixes always seem to be numeric (5,4,3,2,1). [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 22:17, 5 February 2013 (CET)
 
: There are two columns in that txt file: the gameid is in the second column (the first column is the number of people who tried accessing that gameid wiki page) [[User:Delroth|delroth]] ([[User talk:Delroth|talk]]) 22:59, 5 February 2013 (CET)
 
::Ah, Windows Notepad was eating the Unix formatting. [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 23:10, 5 February 2013 (CET)
 
For all of the problems you pointed out, here is my take.
 
*'''NHK Kōhaku Quiz Gassen''' vs. '''Minna ga Shuyaku no NHK Kōhaku Quiz Kassen'''  -  Wikipedia lists it as [[wikipedia:NHK Kōhaku Quiz Gassen|NHK Kōhaku Quiz Gassen]], so that's where we got it from. Everywhere else lists it as Minna ga Shuyaku no NHK Kōhaku Quiz Kassen. I can't read it, so, I don't know what Minna ga Shuyaku is... And I have no idea about Gassen vs. Kassen. Honestly, I think we're wrong on this one, just because of how everything else shows it as the longer one. I'll ask Admin89 on the forum about it.


*'''Densha de Go Shinkansen EX''' vs. '''Let's Go By Train Shinkansen EX'''  -  I think we have that one right. When a game is just Japanese, we use the romanji transliterations. Let's Go By Train is a translation. Worth nothing in the page itself, but I think the page is fine as it is.

*'''Shikakui Atama wo Maru Kusuru: Mainichi Minna no Challenge Hen''' vs '''Shikakui Atama wo Marukusuru Wii'''  -  We're right here again. "Shikakui Atama wo Maru Kusuru" is a series of games, and each entry of the series has a name following it. "Shikakui Atama wo Maru Kusuru: Mainichi Minna no Challenge Hen" might be long, but it's correct.

It's weird. The wikipedia page text has Kassen, but it's title lists Gassen. I'll fix that one. And wow, the Wiki is smart. Hitting "Random page" just took me directly to "NHK Kōhaku Quiz Gassen"[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 21:52, 6 February 2013 (CET)

=== Game Page Status  Template ===
:It'd be cool if the protected status was revoked. As things are now, the only people that protected status is blocking are the two of us. And it always seemed a little standoff-ish to have the page for the community's ideas of what the wiki's rules are be edit protected from having the community contribute to it. - [[User:Xerxes|Xerxes]] ([[User talk:Xerxes|talk]]) 00:36, 18 January 2018 (CET)
We should probably generate a template to track "completion" and frequency of different tasks for game pages, it could exist on each page's talk page and assist with maintenance. I'd like some help to scope such out here.


:How are we supposed to do this exactly? I don't understand the mechanics of what you are trying to accomplish. What level of automation would be involved, and how much work does it take of an editor to fulfill everything? - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 00:26, 1 February 2013 (CET)

*Developer is accurate
*Publisher is accurate
*Release dates are accurate
*Modes are accurate
*Genre is accurate (unclear about this one, I fear it may lead to fights about genre labels, but I'd also like to avoid mislabeled games)
*Series is accurate
*Rating is accurate for revision XXX
*Navigation template is in place if appropriate (default to NA)
*Page includes a full set of sections (Adding in the Gameplay Images sections will be a big part of this)
*Title applied if page title post-fixed (i.e. GC/Wii indicators)(default to NA)
*Description is: accurate, brief, provides info beyond what's found in the infobox.
*Compatibility checked in version XXX (Unclear if we shouldn't just use the testing field for this though).
*Forumlink is in place
*Wikipedia link in functional/accurate: Date of last review
*Date of last forum page review
*Date of last Google issues scan (unclear this shouldn't just be handled with more regular review of the Google issues list, see section below)
*Linkages to patches, texture packs, etc are in place and still valid (We still need to work out how to handle these generally, I think it's typically in an arbitrary section before Problems)
:: The "Patches" section in [[Xenoblade Chronicles]] is something like this. We could adopt this as template (and then add this in [[Project:Wiki Conventions]]) [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]])

=== Rating Redirect Pages ===
::::Oh, maybe. Kolano scared me off like that. Now I've felt reluctant doing anything there. [[User:Lucario|Lucario]] ([[User talk:Lucario|talk]]) 01:47, 18 January 2018 (CET)
For the [http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-red-notice-2-announcement-compatibility-ratings-coming-to-the-main-site Compatibility ratings on the mainpage post], Delroth made some scripts to scan through the ratings, find out how many of or which rating and the like. One of the results he found is a whole bunch of redirects. They are something we should probably clean up. Unfortunately it doesn't link to the thing directly, the redirect screwed up the script which is why we can see it. It just shows where it redirects to. So we could go to that spot, see "what links here", and delete from there. The list is in the link below, which should update automatically every minute. There isn't too many, so it's not so bad, but I don't have time to do it right now. If no one does this in a couple days I'll tackle it. - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 13:35, 26 January 2013 (CET)

*Create page documenting the various current Wiki conventions (i.e. title naming, appropriate config entries, Version compatibility handling, rating templates use, revision template use, etc.). Expose the page in appropriate locations (main page, comment on list pages, etc).
We need to scan through the [https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/projects/emulator/issues/ Dolphin Issue Tracker] and align articles here with issues. Oldest issue needing alignment: {{Issue|267}}.

*Clean up publisher/release date info to indicate differing region releases more appropriately (see [[Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon]])
*Consider purging emulation irrelevant details.
*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:MayImilae|MayImilae]] 02:53, 24 July 2012 (CEST)
*Generate compatibility categories
*Generate input categories
**Clean up Input methods related to other platforms not emulated by Dolphin.
*Consider cleaning up info for developers (such as FPS, Rel modules, DTK ADPCM, Size, FPS...) '''Provide feedback here'''
**I think it would be good if such useless information is removed as it could differ from user to user. --[[User:Endres|Endres]] 17:12, 31 July 2011 (CEST)
***These details should not change user to user. Perhaps you were confused by FPS. It's not the emulated FPS, but the games hard-coded internal FPS. These details are mainly of interest to developers, but may also let us more easily identify issues shared across multiple titles. I'm not clear if an exact "size" can be easily established though, as such may be somewhat dependent on the specific disc image tools used (i.e. slightly different headers, etc may slightly effect the size).[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 19:48, 31 July 2011 (CEST)

===Navigation Templates===
*The template handle series it doesn't address by providing a notice to update the relevant navigation template.
**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.
**This may be a bit easier to handle now that the infobox outputs series categories. So a page including a series category and not having a aligned nav template would indicate an issue. Would need to see how easy it is to parse out those details though.
*Make the navigation template entry-based (like the ratings template).
**This will need to consider the total count of templates used within this template. As we want to avoid hitting the too many templates issues seen in list pages.
 
===Revision Template Updates===
*Branch builds, such as "3.0-712 Network branch" are displayed as "r3.0-712 Network branch" by the current revision template.
*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===
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).
 
==Completed==
Below is listed only what was done last month. You can [[Project:To Do/Archive|search the archive]] for what was done since To Do list was created.
 
=== DX9 removal ===
Well, DX9 was gone... We need to go through all pages and clean DX9-related things. Unsure if we can set some scripts... [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) (fixed a while ago and just kind of forgotten)
 
===Misc===
*Correct maximum file size indicator on upload page. It says 2MB files are accepted, but 1MB seems to be the actual cut-off. (fixed after moving to the new server)
 
=== Fix Pictures Lost in the Move ===
A number of images were lost during the move. I'll list them all here. (Fixed by Delroth magic - November 8 2012)
:Hrm, this actually only seems partially fixed. The newest versions seem restored, but any prior versions are still lost. Not that critical an issue, but the image pages end up with odd errors on them, refer [[:File:Doraemon-_Minna_de_Asobō!_Minidorando.jpg]].[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 11:06, 8 November 2012 (CET)
::Apparently The bot only pulled the latest version for all files. ALL files that have an old version show errors like that. Maybe we should purge the old versions? And welcome back Kolano, you've been missed. - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 12:08, 8 November 2012 (CET)
 
===List===
* Add orphaned or games not in the lists into the list pages for: Wii, WiiWare, Virtual Console. (Done by [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] - October 2012)
 
===Config Template===
*Clean blank entries and add only the used ones. (Done by [[User:Kolano|Kolano]])
 
===General Discussions Cleanup===
The [[Project:General Discussions|General Discussions]] page has a number of now dated discussions on it. We should likely create an archive page, and migrate the now irrelevant discussions there. (Done by [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] - November 2012)
 
===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)
 
===Videos===
*Better embed gameplay videos, generate template to embed video windows for Youtube (and other video sites?) (Done by Parlane? - November 2012)
*Convert existing Gameplay Video section links to new [[Template:Youtube|YouTube]] or [[Template:EmbedVideo|EmbedVideo]] templates -[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 20:04, 2 August 2012 (CEST) (Done by Kolano, though I may have missed a few due to shoddy search)
:Yea you missed some. I've seen a few here and there. - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 07:40, 11 November 2012 (CET)
 
===Categories===
*Add developer/publisher categories
*Add more complete set of genre categories
**Replace genres with genre category links
 
=== Global Problems integration ===
I finished writing the global problems template, and we need to port it to game pages. It differs a bit from platform to platform, but a search-and-replace should do the job:
 
In all pages of [[:Category:NES games]], search for
<pre>== Problems ==</pre>

=== 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. [[User:Flang|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... - [[User:mbc07|mbc07]] ([[User talk: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. -[[User:Flang|Flang]] 08:53, 24 July 2016 (CST)

Latest revision as of 04:45, 12 February 2022

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.

Give this a nice update

Project:Wiki Conventions Full of outdated information and typos, Simple-player... haha! Lucario (talk) 23:52, 17 January 2018 (CET)

It'd be cool if the protected status was revoked. As things are now, the only people that protected status is blocking are the two of us. And it always seemed a little standoff-ish to have the page for the community's ideas of what the wiki's rules are be edit protected from having the community contribute to it. - Xerxes (talk) 00:36, 18 January 2018 (CET)
I've rolled back the protection. Though we'll likely want to restore it post clean-up. Tread lightly.Kolano (talk) 00:41, 18 January 2018 (CET)
User:Lucario should edit it first since he asked for it. I'll wait patiently and look at it tomorrow, so we don't clobber each other's edits. (Thanks for trusting us.) - Xerxes (talk) 01:00, 18 January 2018 (CET)
Oh, maybe. Kolano scared me off like that. Now I've felt reluctant doing anything there. Lucario (talk) 01:47, 18 January 2018 (CET)
Psychology is weird. Maybe someone should write a paper about this. - Xerxes (talk) 01:56, 18 January 2018 (CET)
Heh... anyway, I have some changes I'd like submit to there. It's mostly about removing template how-to information outside of that page to their template docs, hopefully they don't mind. Lucario (talk) 03:08, 18 January 2018 (CET)

Game Page Status Template

This conversation has been moved to Template talk:Page Status. - Xerxes (talk) 20:20, 22 August 2017 (CEST)

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)
  • 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. MayImilae 02:53, 24 July 2012 (CEST)

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)
