You apparently are an advanced user to MetaWiki, so I think that you can help on this template. We need some way of making this template to be updated automatically when some change occur on http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/source/list. I've tried by embedding a RSS feed reader (based on JavaScript) on template to return the current revision, but they always crashed the wiki, resulting in a "500: Internal Server Error". Now, periodically we have to manually edit this template, that is very annoyng to do every time that a commit is made, since none of us can be connected 24 hours per day to update this...

::In any case, I'd like to keep Talk pages to current/relevant discussion and put irrelevant content in the bin. I understand that page deletion has an adverse effect on page histories, and will accept tagging ongoing relevant discussions with a category to avoid deletions. I'd like to keep the irrelevant discussion out of search though, and would prefer to continue to blank irrelevant discussion to do so (though I'm not resilient to disputes/reversions, as "relevance" can be a sticky subject). I'm OK with use of archive pages to preserve irrelevant discussion, if we can't agree on the former direction.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 06:52, 23 June 2011 (CEST) P.S.-Thanks for all you're recent assistance on the wiki, it's very appreciated.

:Since you guys are actively talking about this, I wanted to give you a headsup. In the previous windwaker discussion, it was debated whether the older revisions element should be removed. A decision was reached- erm, no objections were raised, to keep it till 3.0 comes out, because 2.0 still uses the method described in older revisions. So I left the relevant bits in the talk after blanking. It is not exactly active discussion, but a useful bit of information nevertheless. Should it stay? {{diff|Talk:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|19393|19105|Talk:The Wind Waker}} -- [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] 01:46, 24 June 2011 (CEST)

:I'd prefer things be handled as you have. Purge the irrelevant bits and preserving the relevant ones until post the release of 3.0. Presumably post the release of 3.0 such will be purged, when it will no longer be relevant. Hopefully the discussion here will resolve whether these purges are appropriate or should be handled in a different manner. I lean toward purging irrelevant discussion, as you have done, and am hoping for agreement on such.[[User:Kolano|Kolano]] 03:30, 24 June 2011 (CEST)

Should we merge the game lists present on the templates directly on the GameCube page? [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] 18:21, 24 June 2011 (CEST)

:Nah, I wouldn't bother - it's fine the way it is (for now). Sometime in the future we should look into the errors that apparently come up when all the games are listed on one article, to see if there's any solution to that problem. Thanks again for plugging away at those ratings! {{:User:LobStoR/sig}} 18:27, 24 June 2011 (CEST)

::: These issues are all from before I joined the wiki a month ago, so I wasn't sure why we split everything up. Have at it, I'm sure if anyone notices any issues they'll just fix it :-) {{:User:LobStoR/sig}} 18:36, 24 June 2011 (CEST)

I had noticed you added HotCat under your user page, I presume from or related to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:HotCat Wikipedia:HotCat]). I'm interested in enabling that functionality for myself, but I'm missing some bit of the setup (or perhaps it fails to work here for some other reason). The Wikipedia page mentions a skin.js edit, but I don't see such configured for your account. Can you provide any info on what the config steps may be?

:It doesn't seem to work on this wiki (perhaps due to that strange caching issue?) -- but the "skin.js" edit refers to something like [[Special:MyPage/monobook.js]] or [[Special:MyPage/vector.js]] (see mine at [[User:LobStoR/monobook.js]]). I'll try to troubleshoot why it's not working, as it's been very useful on other wikis. {{:User:LobStoR/sig}} 18:47, 13 July 2011 (CEST)
