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


==Pending==
== Testing ==
===Misc===
You can help complete the compatibility list by updating the ratings of the unrated titles. If necessary please revise title ratings based on testing.
*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).


===List===
The categories below are generated by testing templates providing age of testing details that could get some update.
* Clean up lists by adding missing information
*[[:Category:Untested]] ({{PAGESINCAT:Untested}})
* Add orphaned or games not in the lists into the list pages.
*[[:Category:Untested for 10000+ revisions]] ({{PAGESINCAT:Untested for 10000+ revisions}})
* 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)
*[[:Category:Untested for 2500+ revisions]] ({{PAGESINCAT:Untested for 2500+ revisions}})
**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.
***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")
*Consider purging "Tested on Revision" from list pages. '''Please provide feedback here'''.
**I'm not clear the need to list this on the list pages. They are rarely maintained in alignment with the game page, and the compatibility ratings (which are already the root cause of needing to split up the list pages) serve the purpose of providing high level compatibility info. If one needs to know specific version details, the specific game pages seem more appropriate.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 01:27, 2 April 2011 (CEST)
*Work out means of fixing issue requiring list pages to be split into multiple templates. This is due to use of the ratings template, the current Wiki server can't handle compiling the large number of templates used on the list pages.
**I think we might work around this by migrating most of the list page content into a bigger version of the ratings template. Then revise the ratings template to either output a detail of a requested game or a complete list of it's included games. Each list page would include the template in list mode, while each game page would include it (possibly a few times) to reference it's rating, genre, region details. I'm hoping that since each game page would only need to call the template a few times and the list list pages would display just a single template, such would enable a consolidated list for each platform. This would also ensure alignment with shared game details beyond rating.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 07:39, 4 April 2011 (CEST)


===Config===
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]]'''.
* 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>|recompiler=JIT, JITiL or interpreter</tt> must be changed to the new <tt>|cpuengine=JIT, JITiL or interpreter</tt>. ([http://wiki.dolphin-emulator.com/index.php?title=Special:Search&ns0=1&redirs=0&search=|recompiler&limit=500&offset=0 relevant pages], currently 448)
**<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)
*Improve config documentation on Template page and update config sections to only use filled parameters.


===Infobox===
== Regular tasks ==
*Clean up publisher/release date info to indicate differing region releases more appropriately (see [[Fragile Dreams : Farewell Ruins Of The Moon]])
These are regular tasks. Please do not remove them or mark as complete, as they need to be checked regularly.
*Consider purging emulation irrelevant details.
* [[Special:DoubleRedirects]]
*Clean up Input methods related to other platforms not emulated by Dolphin.

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.

Regular tasks

These are regular tasks. Please do not remove them or mark as complete, as they need to be checked regularly.

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.
