 All pages are still getting labeled as having deprecated config params. [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 04:55, 14 April 2013 (CEST)
+== Config List ==
+Remember the [[Dolphin Manual]]? Well, I've thought about it a lot since that project failed, and really the dolphin manual was only two things.
+. A list of instructions for set up and doing various things. The wiki already has most of that in [[Help:Contents]] via our tutorials.
+. A list of functions in the emulator and what they do and where they are.
+We already have #1. However, it occurred to me that we already have #2 as well... right here. [[Template:Config]]. It lists all of the options in the emulator, shows where they are (general location via categories anyway) and describes them. The problem is that it is very user unfriendly. It's designed to display stuff in wiki pages, and it does that job very well but it's not very friendly for other purposes. So, here's my question to you guys - how hard would it be to make a page that automatically displayed every [[Template:Config]] entry? That way, any time Template:Config is updated, the big user-friendly list would be updated as well. With a little tweaking to make it more presentable, we take what we already have and maintain and suddenly it's a one-stop shop for Dolphin help, fulfilling everything the Dolphin Manual set out to achieve! But uh, I don't know how to do that. You know, artist and all. What do you guys think? - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 15:23, 13 July 2014 (CEST)
