P.P.S. It works if no cloudflare check is involved. It seems to be a bit random, but you have to save any other smaller page w/ cloudflare check, then the middleman lets you save w/o checks (for a time). --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 11:05, 16 March 2024 (UTC) | P.P.S.

:Regarding the guide, that was mostly me finding it intensely difficult to balance old 1.6.0 stuff and new 1.7.X stuff at the same time. Every few sentences throughout the article I would need to place side-by-side screenshots for both versions, and I would need to make constant, awkward disclaimers that something only applies to one version. I can't remember two years later if I simply gave up or if I decided to wait until the Qt version was properly out. I think at this point (given the website even walls off access to 1.6.0 now) that if a new guide is created, it'd be reasonable to create it around the Qt interface. But regarding Wikipedia, that actually still is a licensure issue. Wikipedia operates under a sharealike license for (what was at the time) CC-BY-SA 3.0, whereas we're CC-BY-NC-SA 3.0. That 'SA', sharealike, means it needs to stay under the same license, i.e. that we can't suddenly make it 'non-commercial' (that 'BY' also means attribution, which it seems we didn't do). And the GameFAQs issue does, I agree, become even more complicated because those descriptions may have been ripped from elsewhere. My broader point isn't that something bad will definitely happen with these descriptions; it's that it isn't proper to redistribute this content under a license it doesn't support. The main purpose behind the serials isn't so that there's a result in the searchbar (although I feel that is quite nice); it's that it makes for a way to automatically, from the outside, index every single game on the wiki just by its serial number. Because every page name serves as a unique global identifier, this would mean for instance that https://wiki.pcsx2.net/SCUS-97429 would link directly to the corresponding article for Jak X. Although I'm aware of the amount of time this would take, I feel like I was progressing quickly enough that it could've been completed solo within a couple months even had the pace fallen off.
