→New Template (cont.3)
| Line 525: | Line 525: | ||
I've decided to create more universal solution and to write an external utility to convert the old template into the new one (to an extent of course) using clipboard. Basically you have to start the program leave it running while working on pages conversion. Press Alt-Shift-E on a chosen page (it's a shortcut for editing), use Ctrl-A to select all text and Ctrl-C to put it into clipboard. After that you just have to press Shift-Shift (left shift and right shift concurrently) and the program will convert (or try to convert) the text automatically. Get the text from clipboard again (Ctrl-V) and check the result, correct it, add needed info and the tester name (from page history). I've spent the whole day doing some automation stuff for the wiki (and I'm not done yet) and this utility, although may feel like magic to me, could still use some improvement and may also contain a number of bugs. Please test it and leave some feedback.

I cannot upload binary files on the wiki pages so I'll do it in [http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-PCSX2-Wiki-collaboration-thread?page=5 this thread]. --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 19:52, 9 August 2014 (BST) | I cannot upload binary files on the wiki pages so I'll do it in [http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-PCSX2-Wiki-collaboration-thread?page=5 this thread]. --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 19:52, 9 August 2014 (BST) | ||
I'm preparing to convert most of the empty pages (and only empty pages) automatically but they would look really empty without any info. What do you think is better to leave them bare like [[Backyard Baseball '09|this]] or put a placeholder table like [[B-Boy|this]]? --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 11:21, 10 August 2014 (BST) | |||
