Right now the wiki marks issues as [Not an issue] [Fixed] [Active] while from a developer standpoint [Not an issue] means not a bug but from an user perspective it's too vague and seems very minor when it's possible when it isnt example if a game has weird effects either from upscaling or the wrong settings. I propose the use of [Workaround] or [Patched] where if you run a game with default settings the normal user sees problem(s) with the emulation. In this way it's easier to see if it's a bug from not enough accuracy, a regression or a visual problem to the user. Tl;dr In those situations [Fixed] = no more bug (i know there are exceptions like Full blending, but this is besides the point) [Active] = still a bug and [Patched] = issue but you can workaround it. | Right now the wiki marks issues as [Not an issue] [Fixed] [Active] while from a developer standpoint [Not an issue] means not a bug but from an user perspective it's too vague and seems very minor when it's possible when it isnt example if a game has weird effects either from upscaling or the wrong settings.

:"Not an issue" aka "Note" was created after I realized that some issues are really game-related bugs replicatable on original hardware, but removing them from the pages would rob users of very useful information. There was a period when I was removing "issues" arising from hacks and misconfiguration; but then my own knowledge had slowly eroded by changes in PCSX2; what was a hack at one time became a default option or was removed. I didn't start PCSX2 in long time so sometimes I can only guess. Other "non-issues" (for instance, bugs with MTVU on) are also very helpful as warnings. A user can quickly correct his configuration if he sees the note on a game page, saving him from fiddling with a game for hours. But if you see an "real fake" issue, please fix it, because my knowledge at this point is quite inferior. | |||
:And I have to admit that I don't fully understand your proposition. Can you think of some examples? --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 17:42, 29 August 2020 (UTC) | |||
