:Jhonn (or anyone up for some template fiddling), if you refer to the ratings template you'll see a method of generating categories for erroneous pages. I'd advise we revise the template to handle these options similarly until pages using them can be cleaned up.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 03:12, 12 August 2011 (CEST)

::The ratings template is using the same method that I've implemented here for handling errors (checking the input parameters with "if" and adding the pages using the outdated (or deprecated) parameters on their respective category), for the outdated entries, I was thinking in some way of putting them in a small spoiler (for reference of older revisions), but probably implementing this would cause other issues... Should we maintain it or drop at all? [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] 21:25, 12 August 2011 (CEST)

:::I would say that most users are using latest SVN (which the template is already being updated for) or 3.0.  The overhead of maintaining every possible old variable would be a lot of work for little payoff.  I'd suggest adding another section for Release 3.0 variables only, in spoiler form.  I would say any release before 3.0 is out of luck.  I may try to work up something in the template sandbox, we'll see what you think.  --[[User:Keller999|Keller999]] 07:29, 14 August 2011 (CEST)
:Just as a suggestion, keeping references for older revisions *only* when the games calls for it, meaning by this that the main pages, for example config and performance, should always be kept with cutting edge revisions and only when the game specifically calls for it, older revisions should be mentioned specifically on X game page needing those, of course this calls for a user looking to use X revision of dolphin for his favorite game.[[User:Otomo|Otomo]] 18:39, 12 August 2011 (CEST)
