User:Keller999/projects/gamepageupdate: Difference between revisions

* Remove existing non-used config variables if they are present in the page

Hooray for programming mini-project!  I put together a script that takes the Infobox and summary from Wikipedia, then the existing Dolphin Wiki article, and creates a standards-compliant merge of the two.  For an example of what this script does, please see [[Call of Duty: Black Ops/sandbox]].  Revision 23655 is before, Revision 23677 is after.  I did NOT do any additional touchup between these revs, as I wanted to show exactly what the script was doing.

:::::*I think they tend to have "Links" in their titles, so you can probably pick up on that.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 05:15, 22 August 2011 (CEST)

:*Regarding "Platforms" in the infobox, generally we're only interested in platforms supported by Dolphin (i.e. GameCube, Wii, Virtual Console systems). I'd actually prefer to omit this line, as it's confusing for titles on multiple platforms which have multiple pages on the Wiki (though it would be good to interlink the platform page pairs where they exist.

:::*We more or less had decided to forgo the Platforms parameter previously, due to the confusion it could cause. A consistent naming format does exist, in the cases where a title is supported on both GameCube and Wii, two pages exist with different postfixes " (GC)" and " (Wii)". Unfortunately, since I'm unaware of any means to do text parsing within Wiki logic, I don't think a Wiki logic approach allows for resolution. The script can do the text parsing, but I'm still unsure it's worth bothering over.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 02:59, 22 August 2011 (CEST)

:::*Disambiguation pages for these would make sense, at least one exists for [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]], but I don't think any of the other instances are covered.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 02:59, 22 August 2011 (CEST)

::::*I'll see if I can figure out a way to find games that have multiple platforms, and start creating disambig pages for them. --[[User:Keller999|Keller999]] 04:03, 22 August 2011 (CEST)

:::*Is this ignoring unsupported platforms? I got the impression for Virtual Console titles the script was just including a full list.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 02:59, 22 August 2011 (CEST)

::::*Currently, Virtual Console is treated just like another supported platform -- it is included and Wikified.  If both Virtual Console and say, Nintendo 64 are listed, Nintendo 64 is getting purged.  I think the logic I would like to use is "if it has Virtual Console in the platforms, wikify and include all platforms regardless of whether they're supported by Dolphin".  On another note, does it even make sense for us to include Virtual Console titles in the wiki?  I know the devs are of the opinion that you should use an emulator for the original console, and I tend to agree with them.  There is no work that I'm aware of to improve support for Virtual Console games.  --[[User:Keller999|Keller999]] 04:03, 22 August 2011 (CEST)

*Testing sections: I need to start discussion around this in the Testing template, but in any case, I'm considering some revisions there. You'll note I revised the testing template to start generating "Tested On" categories, at least for OS's. Such works out to some degree there, as there are a limited number of inputs, but similar methods won't work well for high variety of the current CPU/GPU sections. Follow up on such in... [[Template talk:Testing/entry]]. In any case, I may want the script to handle reparsing some of the testing fields into separate values.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 05:15, 22 August 2011 (CEST)

Runs great on my Linux box, uses no special modules.  I know for a fact that system('clear') does NOT work in Windows, but you could probably replace it with system('cls') and get the same effect.

'''''1.0'''''

* Initial release

* Compensation for a strange copy-paste error when there's a space after the image filename

* WiiWare games will no longer be automatically categorized as Wii games too

* Script no longer mangles description text with the word 'Wii' in it
