::Gotcha. I uploaded them. (Made a minor change to increase the sharpness a bit on the fonts). [http://wiki.pcsx2.net/index.php/Valkyrie_Profile_2:_Silmeria Valkyrie Profile 2 page] Here you can see how it looks now on the actual page. Looks pretty good I'd say for now. -- [[User:Ryudo|Ryudo]] ([[User talk:Ryudo|talk]]) 14:28, 3 November 2015 (UTC) | ::Gotcha. I uploaded them.

== Ongoing replace/automation work == | |||
* <s>Set page playability statuses according to new test cases ([[:Category:Temp new test case]], [[:Category:Temp new test case too long]])</s> | |||
* <s>Sort test entries (new test entries were inserted at the top of test tables). Such a work can possibly only be done by hands and it is pretty time consuming.</s> | |||
* <s>Finish adding Japanese names (take 1)</s> / <s>clear Japanese names of html codes (&reg; remains)</s> | |||
* <s>Use [http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/list-999 Game faqs] to create still missing titles, serials, release dates, AKAs. I'd even get boxarts from them but I'd need their permission for that. So no luck here I guess.</s> | |||
** <s>Clear all existing serials from nonuniform, duplicate and bad entries</s> | |||
** <s>Use http://www.sonyindex.com to include additional serials (game FAQs does not have all of them). This will take a while. I've got (as of today) 52 misspelled or cancelled titles I have to search the internet for. Every title takes up to 10 min. :-\ The site has many demo discs which I guess I will also copy here.</s> | |||
*** <s>That earned 1653 new serials. Not bad. Most of them are same title demos (meaning, no additional work, unlike the demo collections). I need to update articles with new serials. p.s. It looks it was a wrong impression, as wrong as at least 65 serials in SonyIndex database (I cross-checked them). How can I trust the other ~5500 serials now?.. :-\</s> | |||
** <s>Use http://redump.org/discs/system/ps2/ (Also getting languages and AKAs there. Pretty neat and accurate site.). Got around 900 new serials, found only 2 or 3 errors so far.</s> | |||
** <s>All AKAs with serials -> Original names, all AKAs without -> Also known as. It's getting messy otherwise.</s> | |||
** <s>Add all the new demo discs from sonyindex.com and redump.org. Every demo page requires a good amount of work. :-\. Almost done.</s> | |||
** <s>redump.org: add collected languages to the wiki articles</s> Japanese mark for most of the articles is still needed. | |||
** Use http://www.play-asia.com/games/classics/sony/playstation2/games/14/71fd#fc=o:1 | |||
** Other places to check: http://mirage.just-size.net/slps/slps.html (mysterious place), http://playstationcollecting.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Search.PS2 , http://www.gony.pe.kr/wiki/gony/moin.cgi/PS2_20_c1_a4_bd_c4_b9_df_b8_c5_20_b8_ae_bd_ba_c6_ae (small Korean DB), http://www.gameplanet.co.kr/xe/2337317 (small Korean DB), http://www.arcade-history.com/index.php?page=database&listtypes=44&lemot=&annee=0&editeur=&keyword1=0&gallery=&Tri=0&position=1 , http://www.suruga-ya.jp/search?category=20002&search_word=&cookie=true&inStock=On (unsure), http://homepage2.nifty.com/gamedatabase/software/DB_SNC2_PS2_top.html (unsure), http://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/ps2/list-games/ (unsure, data differs from game FAQs), http://gamee.cc/doc/ps3_ps2id.php (easy), http://oplmanager.no-ip.info/site/index.php?gamelist (unsure). | |||
** Use http://ns348841.ip-91-121-109.eu/psxdata/psx2/ntsc-j_list2.html to include additional serials (game FAQs does not have all of them), found 244 dupes in all site's serials. :-\ Should I bother cleaning this at all?! (148 left, I postponed parsing this until all the other sites are parsed and loaded, too many errors). | |||
* Update the following info: genres, multiplayer status, developers/publishers, special controllers from game FAQs, www.jp.playstation.com | |||
** <s>Ongoing update: game FAQs: controllers, descriptions, ratings.</s> | |||
** Many descriptions (~2300) are still missing, should be updated from Wikipedia in the future. | |||
** <s>Ongoing update: genres, multiplayer status, developers/publishers, Metacritics links from game FAQs</s> | |||
** Build the full list of articles without verified descriptions (either with no description at all or with description added by someone else, which should be verified). Many of such unverified descriptions contain only useless basic info from Wikipedia. | |||
* <s>Check for disabled and removed regions (should not be many left).</s> | |||
* Renew Japanese names using new serials (take 2) / find Japanese games that game FAQs does not have (currently I known of only one such title) | |||
* <s>Update the following info: game descriptions from game FAQs with their permission. They gave me the permission to use game descriptions and box-arts on the basis that either comes from the publishers (although AFAIK uploaded by the users so I'll still credit the users involved). What can I say, mighty nice of them! </s><s>(Dolphin wiki has all the descriptions copied from game FAQs), or Wikipedia if not possible.</s> | |||
* Automatically set Wikipedia links (where possible) -- not that hard | |||
* <s>Ask game FAQs permission to use their box arts. </s><s>(submitted by users, btw), try to use Wikipedia's box arts if not possible. No answer to my messages. :-\</s> | |||
** Build a list of articles without images or with bad quality images (low-res, small size) | |||
* Game properties | |||
** Update widescreen=1 statuses, using pretty chaotic *.pnach database (hard), <s>decide if splitting widescreen=1&2 to widescreen & widescreenpatch is needed</s> | |||
** Update perfectly-emulated=1 and scales-properly=1 statuses (ask forum users) | |||
** Online/LAN games: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_2_online_games | |||
** Other properties? (will need icons from SHunter) | |||
