Here is a list of stuff that needs doing on the wiki. Feel free to add anything you feel that needs to be done and move items that have been completed to the "Completed" section below.

Pending

Misc

  • 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

  • Clean up lists by adding missing information
  • 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: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.Kolano 01:27, 2 April 2011 (CEST)
    • I vote for purging "Tested on Revision" from list pages. I can start now, if we don't receive more feedbacks. Jhonn 21:30, 4 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.Kolano 07:39, 4 April 2011 (CEST)

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:
    • |realxfb=on must be changed to the new |xfb=real (now both real and virtual XFB options are radio buttons on emulator). (relevant pages, currently 441)
    • |mmuhack=on must be changed to the new |mmu=On. (relevant pages, currently 3)
      • No, MMU and MMU speed hack are two different things, we need to revert current changes. Jhonn 01:49, 15 April 2011 (CEST)
      • Sorry for my confusion, since no entry included both I had presumed they were the same. Kolano 18:30, 15 April 2011 (CEST)
  • Improve config documentation on Template page and update config sections to only use filled parameters.
  • Clean blank entries and add only the used ones. Please provide feedback here.
    • I'd be OK with such if: we can provide some documentation of the settings used by the config template somewhere;we reference that location from each config entry.Kolano 05:58, 5 April 2011 (CEST)
    • I'll try to clean up the template in order to get a documentation. However, only next week, I'm too busy to do this now. Jhonn 20:01, 5 April 2011 (CEST)

Infobox

  • 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.
  • Clean up Input methods related to other platforms not emulated by Dolphin.

Categories

  • Add developer/publisher categories
  • Add more complete set of genre categories
    • Replace genres with genre category links

To Do List

  • List other needed to do
