After having a talk with [[User talk:Kolano#Edit You Did|Kolano]] about having my confusion cleared up what should be included in the configuration section of each disc wiki page, I think [[Template:Config|the template]] should read "Only configuration options for the best ''accuracy'' where they deviate from defaults are listed" instead of "Only configuration options for the best ''compatibility'' where they deviate from defaults are listed" (without italics). Anyone agree? --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 21:11, 24 April 2015 (CEST) | After having a talk with [[User talk:Kolano#Edit You Did|Kolano]] about having my confusion cleared up what should be included in the configuration section of each disc wiki page, I think [[Template:Config|the template]] should read "Only configuration options for the best ''accuracy'' where they deviate from defaults are listed" instead of "Only configuration options for the best ''compatibility'' where they deviate from defaults are listed" (without italics).

:Compatibility = accuracy, pretty much. This wiki uses the term compatibility because in the early days when it was created, it wasn't sure a game would even ''run'', let alone be playable. Compatibility is commonly used to describe how well a game plays in an emulator. And it is called a "Compatibility Wiki" with "Compatibility Lists" (see the left sidebar) and "Compatibility Ratings". Even the main page has a Compatibility section with compatibility ratings from this wiki! It's all tied into larger emulation concepts of what the word compatibility means for an emulator, and I think it's still a valid term. We could change it to accuracy just there for clarity, but then it becomes out of sync with the terminology in the rest of the wiki, which imo should remain compatibility. So I'm not really in favor of this idea. - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 08:44, 29 April 2015 (CEST) | |||
