Talk:GCW Wiki Layout

Have you potentially considered a Category/Sub-section within the wiki for Games? Specifically I'm thinking about things like installation methods for various games, setup and configuration information for either the ported emulators or homebrew installations, etc. A section where I can note "Hey, I've managed to get XCom running through the ported DOSBOX emulator, here's how! Here's the config info you need!" would be, I would think, a worthy use for the wiki.
 * You are free to add your own Category/sub-section suggestions. Maybe duplicate the layout and add them to it. Surkow (talk) 23:05, 4 January 2014 (CET)

Application Category Ready for Review
I have created the Application category and am slowly adding applications to it. If the layout/method meets your approval, can you link the Applications category in with the rest of the Wiki? Right now it's only accessible by going through "Search" and typing in "Category:Applications".
 * Great work so far with the Network, DinguxCommander, Sound Mixer (etc) pages! I do recommend you to start using button macros. Like this:.


 * I personally call "GCW Applications and Games" software titles in the official download repository. The following types of software are available:
 * Application
 * Native Game
 * Emulator
 * Emulated Game
 * Firmware

 * Thanks! Looking at how easy it is to get the buttons in place I'll make sure to start using those ASAP and will edit my previous stuff as soon as I can.
 * Will make the change to "software titles" as that makes a bit more sense and will setup the categories as you recommend above.

 * p.s. Would it be possible for you to rename Category:Applications to Category:Software Titles? I don't know if that will automatically move everything linked with the "Applications" category to the new category name or not.  If not, I'll handle it manually.  If it does, however, you should probably move "Category:HomebrewApps" to simply "Category:Applications" as well to fit the schema.
