Wiki bugs

Admins pls

  • Cache update is incredibly delayed for users who are not logged in, resulting in things like the incorrect anniversaries being shown on the main page or categories not listing newer pages. --BSonirachi (talk) 18:01, 31 January 2024 (EST)
  • Main page does not refresh the random game picker and Template:WeirdThings every refresh/reload unlike on Sega or NEC Retro. --BSonirachi (talk) 18:01, 31 January 2024 (EST)

Probably fixable

  • Screenshot/text spacing on the random game picker on the main page could be done better. --BSonirachi (talk) 18:01, 31 January 2024 (EST)
  • Template:Gitem looks like it has an extraneous space at the bottom of the template, resulting in an unnecessary empty line below any gitem usage. I could see this being an issue in other templates too CartridgeCulture (talk) 15:22, 28 December 2024 (EST)
  • Gosh. Preformatted text using <pre> tags doesn't properly wrap the text (or whatever) when it reaches the edge of the page like it does on Sega Retro. It feels awful weird posting interviews without it CartridgeCulture (talk) 15:12, 28 December 2024 (EST)
  • Definitely fixable but I don't know how: whatever template is listing comic entries (see Worlds Collide Graphic Novel Series) isn't italicizing issue titles. CartridgeCulture (talk) 22:40, 6 January 2025 (EST)
  • We could really use a number of wiki-wide cleanup projects for things like grammar and consistency. Projects like these aren't one person jobs though, and ensuring everything's covered is a project in itself. CartridgeCulture (talk) 23:54, 16 January 2025 (EST)

Needed templates

Having someone ensure all Retro-family Wikis are using the same templates would be gosh heckin beneficial. CartridgeCulture (talk) 22:40, 6 January 2025 (EST)

Things that you could do right now

  • Omni templates (e.g. Sonic Adventure)
  • Page layouts - see sega:User:Hivebrain/Article_plan
  • DESTROY ALL TRIVIA SECTIONS
  • Bullet points -> prose where applicable
  • Migrate magazine article pages to new style
  • References -> cdn:Category:Shared magazine scans
  • Renaming (moving) Japanese-translated page names to what they're actually called, as opposed to what you think they should be called
    • e.g. ソニックの時限列車 -> "Sonic no Jigen Ressha", not "Sonic's Time Limit Train"
  • Use Creditstable template
  • Remove/replace dead links/pointless plugs to other sites
  • Much better prototype coverage
  • Absorb everything
  • "EU" releases/scans/whatever may need splitting up into UK, FR, DE, ES, IT etc.
  • Do something with the Sonic 2 REV02 info dump
  • Known birthplaces, date of births, date of deaths and Twitter handles should be added/moved to the Bobs on voice actor pages.
