== 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:

*<s>[[Apply ROM Hacks and Translations]]</s>
*<s>[[Building RetroArch]]</s>

*<s>[[Comparison of Emulator Frontends]]</s>

:Thanks. I'll start adding some. -[[User:Jpx|Jpx]] ([[User talk:Jpx|talk]]) 05:52, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
::Thank you. That was fast. -[[Special:Contributions/188.114.111.160|188.114.111.160]] 09:22, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
:::More of those have been added on [[MainPageWIP]] page. - [[User:WebMint|WebMint]] ([[User talk:WebMint|talk]]) 02:27, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
== New main page ==I've been thinking about remaking the main page. I think 'll probably create a separate WIP page to test it out.There's mainly two reasons:* Make it would improve easier to contribute to the wiki and make it more accessible to everyone, if we added links - this might be things like highlighting high priority tasks on the main page to more content pages that don't have a link yet. * Different layout of emulators - I can't do it myself thoughve been thinking about separating console, so I'd appreciate computers and arcade emulators. Let me know if someone else considered doing you got any suggestions. -[[User:Jpx|Jpx]] ([[User talk:Jpx|talk]]) 06:48, 14 November 2020 (UTC):Will itstill be remade? - [[User:WebMint|WebMint]] ([[User talk:WebMint|talk]]) 17:17, 19 July 2021 (UTC) == Quality control ==Some pages are of subpar quality or outdated. I have looked up think we need some better way of quality control.Perhaps something like Wikipedias [[wikipedia:wikipedia:Content_assessment|Content assessment]] & [[wikipedia:wikipedia:Vital_articles|Vital aritcles]] 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 content pages at https? -[[User:Jpx|Jpx]] ([[User talk:Jpx|talk]]) 06:48, 14 November 2020 (UTC):[[Template:WIP|<nowiki>{{WIP}}</nowiki>]], [[Template:Outdated|<nowiki>{{Outdated}}</nowiki>]] and [[Template:stub|<nowiki>{{stub}}</emulationnowiki>]] take care of the real subpar ones, and for the rest I think it'd be best to keep it simple by either adding [[:Category:Article_complete|Category:Article_complete]] or [[:Category:Article_incomplete|Category:Article_incomplete]] to the page.gametechwiki:We should also have something to check against, so how about [[Emulation General Wiki:Guidelines]] as a guide.com/index.php?title--[[User:SonofUgly|SonofUgly]] ([[User talk:SonofUgly|talk]]) 03:55, 6 July 2021 (UTC) == Data Loss (2021-07-03) =Special:AllPages&hideredirects=1 Yesterday on the 2nd the wiki's database got corrupted, and I have was unable to restore it. Due to an issue with mySQL logging, the server's drive was also completely full so backups of the database weren't being made a list . Because of these issues I've had to roll the wiki back to the most of recent offline backup I had, which unfortunately is 6 months old. So to everyone who made edits in the ones that arenpast 6 months, I'm very sorry, I've lost those contributions. I believe I't yet linked on ve fixed the main pageissue with mySQL, excluding all that focus on specific emulators and a few will be checking the server's status and making offline backups more that I thought were better off staying inside other links. Alsoregularly, thereas well as using a service to backup the server's at least 2 pages on this list that aren't linked from any other page, instance in full. --[[GPD_XD_DevicesUser:SonofUgly|SonofUgly]] and ([[Thread_templateUser talk:SonofUgly|talk]]) 22:18, 3 July 2021 (UTC) == TODO lists for each page? == I think it'd be a good idea to add TODO lists to the talk pages of each console page. HereIt's d help us keep track of things like which emulators need to be tested and added. Side note, is there a way we can test the listaccuracy of NES and FDS emulation? Like determine if accuracy is low, midrange, high, or cycle accurate? ~Charlie [[User:OrphanedPixel|OrphanedPixel]] ([[AcornUser talk:OrphanedPixel|talk]]) 20:05, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
