== 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:
== 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 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Eighth_generation_of_video_game_consoles#Start_a_%229th_Gen%22_Page_for_%22Nintendo_Switch%22_and_%22Ataribox%22 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? -[[User:Skylark|Skylark]] ([[User talk: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. -[[User:Jpx|Jpx]] ([[User talk:Jpx|talk]]) 06:48, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
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? -[[User:Jpx|Jpx]] ([[User talk:Jpx|talk]]) 06:48, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
 ==Data Loss (2021-07-03)==
Yesterday on the 2nd the wiki's database got corrupted, and I 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. Because of these issues I've had to roll the wiki back to the most recent offline backup I had, which unfortunately is 6 months old. So to everyone who made edits in the past 6 months, I'm very sorry, I've lost those contributions.
I believe I've fixed the issue with mySQL, and will be checking the server's status and making offline backups more regularly, as well as using a service to backup the server's instance in full. --[[User:SonofUgly|SonofUgly]] ([[User talk:SonofUgly|talk]]) 22:18, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
