*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).

*Correct maximum file size indicator on upload page. It says 2Mb files are accepted, but 1Mb seems to be the actual cut-off.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 18:33, 4 June 2011 (CEST)

*Work out how to better integrate Game IDs, as these seem to frequently be ignored/missed when moving pages around.
*:Just check [[Special:DoubleRedirects]] occasionally. {{:User:LobStoR/sig}} 19:12, 8 June 2011 (CEST)
*DSP-LLE is mentioned throughout the wiki, but there isn't a page to explain how to set it up. The procedure involved is far more complex then just enabling the option, and the only solution at present is an [http://wiki.dolphin-emulator.com/index.php?title=Brawl#Audio awkward note] in pages, directing users to a forum post that itself is not very clear. Having a dedicated page on the wiki about how to setup DSP-LLE is prudent. [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] 18:37, 30 July 2011 (CEST)
**I agree with this assessment. The current config/performance guides are definitely a bit lacking, and probably deserve better coverage here generally.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 19:50, 30 July 2011 (CEST)

* Clean up lists by adding missing information

* Add orphaned or games not in the lists into the list pages.
* Add orphaned or games not in the lists into the list pages.
* Better system for managing the Gamecube games lists need to be done as finding games like Zelda could be under (The legend of / Legend of / Zelda)
**I'm fairly sure existing naming conventions ensure this isn't the case, though we may need to do a better job of documenting them:[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 01:27, 2 April 2011 (CEST)
***Page names should align with the localized English title or, when Japan-exclusive, their rōmaji transliterations
****Unclear if there are any Euro exclusive titles that aren't accounted for by this, I seem to recall a French only game or two.
****On the lists I believe we should remove the "aka 'foreign game title'" since we are focusing more towards the American titles. [[User:ThatLuciano|ThatLuciano]] 07:56, 28 April 2011 (CEST)
*****I don't think we should be "focusing" toward American titles. I'd much prefer if we fleshed the AKAs out more/integrated such into game pages to better cover that the titles have multiple names. Not doing so makes it difficult for non-US wiki users to find info on titles relevant to them, as the names they may be familiar with can significantly deviate from the US titles (i.e. Spirits & Spells vs Castleween).[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 15:53, 28 April 2011 (CEST)
***Page names should start with "The" if the title does
***List entries should move "The" to the end of their title section (i.e. "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker" becomes "Legend of Zelda, The: The Wind Waker")


===Config===
===Config===
* Clean up config entries post Config template revisions to include an up to date list of parameters. Recent Config template changed strings to be as is in current Dolphin revision:
**<tt>|realxfb=on</tt> must be changed to the new <tt>|xfb=real</tt> (now both real and virtual XFB options are radio buttons on emulator). ([http://wiki.dolphin-emulator.com/index.php?title=Special:Search&ns0=1&redirs=0&search=|realxfb&limit=500&offset=0 relevant pages], currently 441)
**<tt>|mmuhack=on</tt> must be changed to the new <tt>|mmu=On</tt>. ([http://wiki.dolphin-emulator.com/index.php?title=Special:Search&ns0=1&redirs=0&search=|mmuhack&limit=500&offset=0 relevant pages], currently 3)
***No, MMU and MMU speed hack are two different things, we need to revert current changes. [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] 01:49, 15 April 2011 (CEST)
***Sorry for my confusion, since no entry included both I had presumed they were the same. [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 18:30, 15 April 2011 (CEST)

*DSP-LLE is recommended and not recommended at random throughout numerous pages with sound issues. Often, this is because many games have only minor sound problems with DSP-HLE, and it may not be worth it to take the performance hit. However, if the Config is setup to reflect a best possible set of options ignoring performance, then LLE should be listed. Should it be changed? [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] 18:37, 30 July 2011 (CEST)
**The current goal for the config sections is to provide settings that will provide problem free emulation. Performance/graphics improvements are not relevant as typically such are covered generically in the performance/config guides (though each of those could use updates). Each suggested config should also include a note regarding why such is being suggested. So the minor issues should be listed besides the suggestion to use LLE, but such should be kept brief with longer description in the Problems section. I'd like to avoid statements like "slower machines should user HLE" in the Problems section though, as such is an inexact statement and likely to skew over time (i.e. today's fast machine is tomorrow's slow one). I presume an intelligent user when presented with the specific issues addressed by use of LLE should be able to decide if it's worth taking the performance hit themselves.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 19:50, 30 July 2011 (CEST)

**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)

*Get rid of the cursed "Gamepad" generic rubbish that is spread throughout the wiki! I've been wittling away at it for a while, but it's a big job. Sure would be nice if a script could change all the GameCube "Gamepad" entries to "GameCube Controller"... [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] 08:24, 19 July 2012 (CEST)

*Query regarding recent navigation migration to sub-pages: Is this functional in any way? Per, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Subpages, "By default, MediaWiki's subpage feature is turned off in the main namespace, but can be used on talk pages and user pages."
