Steve, please add icon images left to each game link on the Version specific column. <nowiki>[[Image:<game>.png|16px]]</nowiki>. That will be pretty looking.

Fix maybe?
Don't know where to say it, but if anyone of the admins is still visiting this site, can you fix the preferences page? I constantly get the nice clean page with nothing on it (using FF2)... Also, MediaWiki v1.12 (stable) was released ages ago, while we are on v1.4, anyone care to update to it? Seemann 02:52, 22 Jul 2008 (BST)
- Okie, a week without answer => no admins are there. And I must say, the less the admins will support this site, the more people will vandalize it. If you (admins) have no time/interest to maintain this wiki, find new ones. Seemann 04:32, 29 Jul 2008 (BST)
- Updated to MediaWiki v1.13, hopefully no more broken pages. --Steve-m 02:51, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Search engine
The search engine sucks. I'm unable to find any article searching by word 'using' even there are a lot of pages containing it (I've searched for the page "Using MEd" btw). And it does not search for words shorter than 4 characters (although I know it's almost impossible to bypass. :/ Seemann 10:35, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- 'Using' might be on the list of stop-words. Internal SQL word size for indexing is limited to a minimum of 4 characters. --Steve-m 13:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Icons
Steve, please add icon images left to each game link on the Version specific column. [[Image:<game>.png|16px]]. That will be pretty looking. Seemann 20:13, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
- Done. --Steve-m 13:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Game links
For the various (big) games there are a variety of dummy articles now, redirecting to the game categories:
- GTA 3, GTA III, Grand Theft Auto III
- GTA VC, GTA Vice City, Vice City
- GTA SA, GTA San Andreas, San Andreas
- GTA 4, GTA IV, Grand Theft Auto IV
The point is to avoid people having to type or copy the complicated category link and override the name every time. Also, should we decide to write proper articles for each game some day, this would make it easier to redirect them to the article instead of the category.
For that reason I started replacing category links for III and VC; SA and IV are still left to do (see Special:WhatLinksHere/Category:GTA SA and Special:WhatLinksHere/Category:GTA 4). All those entries that are not sub-lists of redirect pages still have direct links to game categories and need fixing.
So in case someone is bored or has to edit some of those pages anyway, please fix the game links as well. --Steve-m 16:02, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
