:Hi! You have a valid point about some test cases looking ugly. They do really look ugly when there's a ton of information squeezed into narrow columns never intended to contain such information in the first place. This is how they [[Drakan: The Ancients' Gates|looked at the start]]: two or three lines per case and minimum additional information, I never wanted for them to be walls of texts. Unfortunately I'm not a person who has time/desire to clear all user inputs, besides I do not see it as ugly even with contaminated/swelled test cases. The nature of wikis is such that they always contain a healthy amount of chaos as is the nature of people sometimes overcommitted to express themselves. And you never force people to contribute if they don't like to. | |||
:I also have to disagree with you on the subject of Mediawiki markup. The test entry markup is dead simple: it's always 9 lines of information in each and every case. Your first picture is basically the same test entry, I can't detect this fundamental difference between the current entries and yours (except for the walls of text and droves of buttons). The wiki serves its purpose in any case: it provides the information to those anonymous internet users just want to start a game and play. | |||
:Continuing on, I do care about the wiki, it's just probably not the way the team likes me to care. Let's say I'm not in it for the test cases and bug reports I'm more interested in collecting PS2 titles related information, besides it's been years and years and not one person really tried to share the responsibility (there were/are great contributors but none expressed a lasting desire to be a maintainer/housekeeper). Believe me you're not the first who approached with "a total overhaul" desire or "let's make this big change" proposition. Such things require a lot of time and stubbornness, most of those people did not possess/have. Would you like to take control and responsibility and maintain user-related input? You need to learn the wiki markup to a tee, some other stuff about wikis and to know/carefully weight your strengths before starting anything global. After all there are about 5000 game titles here and many have test entries making it an awful lot of work to implement some changes. --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 19:58, 27 August 2020 (UTC) | |||
