Could == Adding links to more content pages on the main page ==I think it would improve the admin change 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 nice simple darker style?

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 style of ones that aren't yet linked on the old Wikiamain page, excluding all that focus on specific emulators and a few more that I thought were better off staying inside other links. - The Red SniperAlso, there's at least 2 pages on this list that aren't linked from any other page, [[XD/XD+]] and [[Thread_template]].Here's the list:

== Assumption of "Computers" categoryTODO lists for each page? ==

ThereI think it's d be a list under a "Computers" category. Perhaps this is known, '''but all video game consoles are computers.''' A 1978 calculator is a computergood idea to add TODO lists to the talk pages of each console page. The TVs that your parents watched when they were kids were computers(most likely). I think this is kind of differentiating peopleIt's ideas d help us keep track of what "computer" means, things like which emulators need to be tested and is not a good way to describe "non-gaming purpose" computersadded.

ThisSide note, I feel, further dumbs down is there a way we can test the general populations' knowledge accuracy of technology by calling 'X' a computerNES and FDS emulation?

"Emulators for nonShould we get rid of iOS’s &amp;Dagger;? While it’s still in very early development, touchHLE is already able to run at least one commercial app and it looks very promising, but it’s still a far cry from what we usually would call mobile device emulation – it’s ''very'' high-consoles"level, and it’s more of an iOS substitute that runs alongside a CPU emulator. The iOS itself isn’t even planned to be supported. I personally think that the ability to run apps should alone be grounds to consider the iOS emulated, but I can see how that could be controversial.

Just some ideas As for cleaning up the FAQs sectiontables I am wrapping them between <code><nowiki><div style="overflow-x:auto"></nowiki></code>, this will make the table responsive on mobile (and also on any viewport) it will create an overflow if it overflow's the page's container and adds horizontal scrolling bars on PC and on mobile you swap left and right to scroll the table (without any change to the page).
