Hello, everyone!

Now, make sure you check your spelling. Otherwise I'll not be impressed.

Stuff that GamerWiki needs done

(edit this)

MAME list

• Anyone with MAME ROM and Arcade experience, please look at the MAME ROM and Arcade sections. Convert the RLLMUK "Good MAME ROMs" list in to a set of Wiki pages: currently here on rllmuk and on the MAME ROM page here at GamerWiki
  • Arcade & MAME in general is progressing along. Still need some ideas on the MAME ROM page though.

Left-hand menus

• Replace "Current events" with "Community" and "Community Portal" with "Getting started" - the latter applies to the project page name as well. Xevious 16:07, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

• Done. :) Edittable at MediaWiki:Sidebar (protected page). --Barthax 11:41, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Media list

• Finalise the media (for example, CD-ROM, Game Boy Cartridge) list. Xevious 17:03, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
  • Progressed significantly. Still some work to be done. --Barthax 23:09, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Are we nearly done with this item? -- tyagi 03:31, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
      • Nearly, but we now need to make sure the pages are created for everthing, including a picture. Xevious 16:07, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Featured articles

• We need more structure to this. Create a box to be placed on the discussion page of potential and past featured articles. Xevious 17:21, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
• Also change the current featured article manually!

List of... projects

• Such as List of First-Person Shooter control options - we need to find some way of incorporating these into the Wiki more. Xevious 17:30, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Style table and sorttable

• See List of First-Person Shooter control options - the table styling needs tightening up.

Allowing for "The" and "A" in game titles

The following steps:

• Include a "listas" parameter in the gameinfobox template (but NOT the gameinfobox)
• In the category tag, include the listas parameter after a pipe if it exists

• Just to be sure, is this intended to remove the 'The' and 'A' portions of names so that the game gets listed in the category without that portion? I.e., [[Category:Game|Incredibles]] for The Incredibles? --Barthax 19:36, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

• Yes. It'll be listed as Incredibles, The. Xevious 17:10, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
