I saw this edit reverting another user's 32:9 codes for the F-Zero GX[https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=F-Zero_GX&oldid=181115] and wanted to know where I could advocate for the Wiki pages themselves having more codes on them. Your comment for the edit, "(Although widescreen codes are an allowed code type per the wiki conventions, we currently accept only 4:3 => 16:9 or vice-versa)" indicated that this was a standard, but I couldn't find that on the [[Project:Wiki_Conventions#Enhancements]] that you linked. It only says Wider Aspect Ratios, not specifically 16:9. So, where can I learn more, or advocate for a change here? The rule seems to exist - but I don't see where it was decided.

: The discussion goes waaay back and at some point were scattered over a few different talk pages (usually from wiki users questioning why an edit adding a widescreen code got reverted) so it might be a bit hard to find them all nowadays. From a quick search, I could find only the initial discussion back from 2015 under [[Project talk:Wiki Conventions]] and '''a lot''' has changed since then (especially the page pollution that big codes caused at the time). I recognize that the usage of bigger displays (aka wider than 16:9) is more widespread nowadays than it was 7 years ago, but I'm personally still a bit wary of allowing other aspect ratio codes directly on the wiki. Anyway, feel free to create a new discussion topic about this under [[Project talk:Wiki Conventions]] (or [[Project:General Discussions]] perhaps) and let's see how it goes, we can adjust the conventions depending of the general outcome... - [[User:mbc07|mbc07]] ([[User talk:mbc07|talk]]) 08:22, 24 March 2022 (CET) | |||
