Could you please replace <code>content: " ·";</code> with <code>content: " · ";</code> in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]? That way navboxes would show "first · second" instead of "first ·second". [[User:Flacs|Flacs]] ([[User talk:Flacs|talk]]) 23:45, 24 November 2019 (CET)
It must have caught your eyes by you going to the [[Project:Community portal]] where I edited something there recently.

== Batman Begins game ini link ==
== Why did you remove the rating template from someone's testing result? ==
Can I ask why you reverted my change on the Batman Begins page to use the link to the wiki itself back to the forum thread? [https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Batman_Begins&diff=171817&oldid=171812 (The change I'm referring to.)] I think it would be better to link to the relevant section directly in the wiki itself than the forum thread.

== Wii Fit Plus Channel issue ==
== Ultrawide AR Codes ==
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. Thank you! --[[User:BlinksTale|BlinksTale]] ([[User talk:BlinksTale|talk]]) 19:39, 23 March 2022 (CET)


Hey, I had only written that {{issue|11858}} can be fixed by the change in setting, but however this can cause mini games to break as written in the GameINI note. I had written it for future reference that if someone uses the settings and the game becomes unplayable, then at least that person will be able to know what caused the game to break. Or am I wrong? Please correct me if  I am. Thanks. [[User:Jack|Jack]] ([[User talk:Jack|talk]]) 06:00, 5 June 2021 (CEST)
: 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)
 
: Dolphin comes with "Store EFB Copies to Texture Only" enabled by default because it's faster, however less accurate compared to a real GC/Wii. Some games will break if that option is enabled, and on such cases the GameINI will automatically disable that option. By disabling that option the EFB Copies will be stored both in the RAM and into the Texture, which is slower performance-wise but '''more''' accurate to the real hardware, thus fixing related problems in the affected games.  
 
: Your previous edit suggested that '''disabling''' Store EBF to Texture Only (the more accurate behavior) breaks the mini games, but like I wrote in the change, that's nonsense since it makes the emulator behave more like to the real hardware in that scenario. I'm not saying there isn't an issue with the mini games, just that there's no way for the issue to be caused by that option, if the problem really exists.

Well if you say that  Disabling “Store EFB to TEXTURE” does not break games, then why isn’t it made by default in the GameINI of Wii Fit Plus and channel. If it’s made default then at least the mii faces and graph would appear in the wii menu. Also, if disabling it is not the reason for mini games to break then the GameINI note stating that the games are broken by this setting should be removed.

The spam page

It must have caught your eyes by you going to the Project:Community portal where I edited something there recently. I added more page types for talk page DPL so my discussion at MediaWiki talk:Common.css doesn't vanish but then I noticed the spam page. I'm impressed that it has survived so long.

Why did you remove the rating template from someone's testing result?

From your recent edit at StarBlade sorry, it was Rygar: The Battle of Argus, I see you removed a four star {{Rating}} and replaced it with "Playable", is there something wrong with the template? Lucario (talk) 02:44, 4 February 2022 (CET)

Excess Ratings templates on a page throw off the Category:Rating that pages get assigned to. Kolano (talk) 04:50, 4 February 2022 (CET)
Actually this isn't the case, as that template doesn't output the categories. At the same time I'm supportive of these updates. Kolano (talk) 08:34, 4 February 2022 (CET)
Two similar templates doing similar things can be confusing, if one's going this won't be the case. Lucario (talk) 12:49, 5 February 2022 (CET)
Also, when included on the testing template, the stars become very tiny to the point it's barely readable and out of place in general, as the results column is intended to have text only.

Ultrawide AR Codes

I saw this edit reverting another user's 32:9 codes for the F-Zero GX[1] 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. Thank you! --BlinksTale (talk) 19:39, 23 March 2022 (CET)

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).
