Adding links to more content pages on the main page
I think it would improve the wiki and make it more accessible to everyone, if we added links on the main page to more content pages that don't have a link yet. I can't do it myself though, so I'd appreciate if someone else considered doing it. I have looked up all content pages at https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:AllPages&hideredirects=1 and I have made a list of most of the ones that aren't yet linked on the main page, excluding all that focus on specific emulators and a few more that I thought were better off staying inside other links. Also, there's at least 2 pages on this list that aren't linked from any other page, GPD_XD_Devices and Thread_template. Here's the list:
- Acorn
- Apple IIGS emulators
- Apply ROM Hacks and Translations
- Building RetroArch
- Commodore
- Comparison of Emulator Frontends
- Decapping
- Discrete Circuitry-Based Arcade Games
- DualShock 3
- DualShock 4
- Dummies Guide: RetroArch
- Dynamic recompilation
- Emulator Problems FAQ
Emulators on Switch- Famicom Color Palette
- Flash
- GB/C Tests
- GPD XD Devices
- Game problems FAQ
- GoodTools
- Libretro
- Licensing
- Overscan
- PS1 Plugins
- PS1 Tests
- PSP Eboots
- Port Forwarding Guide For Netplay
- RDI Halcyon
- Recommended Emulators
- SCP Driver Package
- Save Disk Space for ISOs

Ninth Generation Consoles?
I know the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S aren't schedule to release for another month and a half, but I was wondering when it does should we make new category and classify it as ninth-generation? Also I know there was some debate on whether the Nintendo Switch should be classified as eighth-generation or ninth, should we move it to ninth or wait until there's more of a consensus? -Skylark (talk) 21:47, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- I can add it. I think we should only change the Switch to ninth if Wikipedia does it. -Jpx (talk) 06:48, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
New main page
I've been thinking about remaking the main page. I'll probably create a separate WIP page to test it out. There's mainly two reasons:
- Make it easier to contribute to the wiki - this might be things like highlighting high priority tasks on the main page
- Different layout of emulators - I've been thinking about separating console, computers and arcade emulators.
Let me know if you got any suggestions. -Jpx (talk) 06:48, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
Quality control
Some pages are of subpar quality or outdated. I think we need some better way of quality control. Perhaps something like Wikipedia Content_assessment & Content_assessment or something like PCGamingWiki? A way to go thru all pages, add a category or template and then be able to list all pages that needs fixing. Perhaps we should rate the quality of all pages? -Jpx (talk) 06:48, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
