:::::: <blockquote>So, it being "a lot of work" to change all the test entries isn't really a factor.</blockquote> Yes it is. All test entries across the wiki are currently consistent in the matter they omit the .0 thing, and we won't throw that consistency away. Updating the conventions to include the .0 means ALL test entries of ALL game pages (currently 3197 pages, and counting) must suddenly include it, and that's a lot of work just for a small nitpicking of yours. | :::::: <blockquote>So, it being "a lot of work" to change all the test entries isn't really a factor.</blockquote> Yes it is.

:::::: <blockquote>Why are you editing my entries in the first place, since the manner in which I am making the entires is consistent with the Wiki guidelines?</blockquote> It's simple, your test entries are being edited because '''they are not''' consistent with the current conventions, if you didn't get it yet . Also, you talk as if Kolano keeps lurking in a corner just waiting for your next edit but it just happens that Kolano reviewed your edits before someone else (like me or other active users), which would also purge your .0 thing you keep nitpicking. - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) 19:53, 1 May 2017 (CEST) | :::::: <blockquote>Why are you editing my entries in the first place, since the manner in which I am making the entires is consistent with the Wiki guidelines?</blockquote> It's simple, your test entries are being edited because '''they are not''' consistent with the current conventions, if you didn't get it yet .

:::::: <blockquote>Updating the conventions to include the .0 means ALL test entries of ALL game pages (currently 3197 pages, and counting) must suddenly include it, and that's a lot of work just for a small nitpicking of yours.</blockquote> I already said previously that I would do all the work on every page myself to change any .0 test entries to all match each one another. The amount of work for you and everyone else would be zero, but this compromise was immediately declined. | |||
:::::: And although you cite 3197 game pages that would need to be updated, only a small fraction of that total have any testing entries at all, and an even smaller fraction of ''that'' total have entries in which a tester was using a CPU with a speed of "x.0". The total number that would need editing would be no more than a couple hundred at most, with an edit time per entry of <1 minute. That's an hour or two of work, tops. So please be honest about how much work would really be involved. | |||
:::::: <blockquote>Also, you talk as if Kolano keeps lurking in a corner just waiting for your next edit but it just happens that Kolano reviewed your edits before someone else (like me or other active users), which would also purge your .0 thing you keep nitpicking.</blockquote> You appear to be mistaken - I made [https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=NFL_Blitz_20-03#Testing this test entry] over 9 months ago. It was immediately edited by [[User:Kolano|Kolano]], then reverted by me. And that is how it remains now, still just as I left it. There were no active users in that entire period who believed it should be re-edited. | |||
:::::: But I understand the message. Even though including the .0 suffix would be consistent with the Dolphin Wiki guidelines, as well as being consistent with how CPU speeds are written in other Wikis, both the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylake_(microarchitecture)#List_of_Skylake_processors general knowledge] and [http://wiki.pcsx2.net/index.php/Final_Fantasy_X emulation-focused] variety, it is not how you want them to be written here. | |||
:::::: I had hoped there could be a compromise (which would also be consistent with Dolphin wiki conventions, regarding disagreements), but it doesn't look like that will be the case. If I make test entries in the future, I will exclude the CPU speed, since based on the discussion here that would satisfy the current conventions and will be consistent with likely changes in the future.
