Talk:V/'s Recommended Games Wiki

Use this page to discuss design and content changes to the |main page.

Wikia would rather we use Community Portal or Forums for talking about the wiki in general... but whatever.

Older Discussion
As this wiki gets on in years, this page gets uncomfortably big with old conversations. They've been moved to sub-pages.

Disabling anonymous edits
Since we haven't had any troll/vandal attacks for a good while now i decided to re-enable anonymous editing for the time being. Welcome to your doom! 15:49, January 24, 2019 (UTC)

Recommended Emulators
Polished the Recommended Emulators page a bit. -- LYRIC-Stormwatch (talk) 05:54, March 24, 2019 (UTC)

We really, really should move
Fandom is a censorship-happy place. They locked the LyricWiki to keep people from adding "offensive" songs. It's insane. This is absolutely disastrous, total red flag. This place is absolutely no good, and we really should move the wiki outta here. LYRIC-Stormwatch (talk) 13:38, April 5, 2019 (UTC)


 * Can you pay for a server? Welcome to your doom! 13:58, April 5, 2019 (UTC)


 * How much would that cost? I'm kinda unemployed now. --LYRIC-Stormwatch (talk) 14:09, April 5, 2019 (UTC)


 * If we're gonna have to migrate somewhere, Miraheze seems like a viable option, considering sites like 'Crappy Game Wiki' and its sister sites were originally from Fandom and have migrated to Miraheze after they've been taken offline. At the very least, we won't have to associate with some of the Wikias maintained by manchildren and other weirdos. --Im-the-Janitor (talk) 20:25, April 5, 2019 (UTC)


 * Okay, okay... *takes a deep breath* Made an account and a request there. On one hand, this may feel like a rushed decision, but on the other, maybe we should have done this when they killed monobook. --LYRIC-Stormwatch (talk) 20:42, April 5, 2019 (UTC)

Alright, I've started it: Here. But now I've no idea how to transfer the content. What a bother. --LYRIC-Stormwatch (talk) 04:54, April 7, 2019 (UTC)


 * So, I added most pages (I think). It'd be really cool if I got some help posting the games' covers there. Also, I was wondering if the "guides" pages are really worth keeping, because there's a lot of outdated or pointless junk, and we're not GameFaqs.--LYRIC-Stormwatch (talk) 00:09, May 9, 2019 (UTC)

Anyway, for importing images, did you try using this guide?: How to download all image files in a Wikimedia Commons page or directory Might not help as much, but it might come in handy. As for whether or not we should keep some guides or not, I would suggest removing: And maybe merge both Unfinished Translations & Romhacks and ROM Translations. Guides like DLC, Console Buying, Fighting Games, and Game Importing definitely need to be updated, but I'm not very savvy on those subjects. --Im-the-Janitor (talk) 23:57, May 9, 2019 (UTC)
 * I'll admit, when you announced that you created a new wiki for Miraheze, I did felt that you've jumped the gun without knowing what to do and could've made some preparations first.
 * ''Grand List of Weaponry
 * Oblivion and FNV Mods
 * Users' Games of the Moment and Yearly Faves''
 * Strategy Guides
 * Any specific game guides


 * I guess I did. But when they locked LyricWiki, holy shit. It was like seeing a disaster happen right in front of my eyes. It was too stupid to be real. It was a thousand red flags: Fandom can and will fuck shit up. Run, run now before they fuck us up eventually.--LYRIC-Stormwatch (talk) 03:09, May 10, 2019 (UTC)

And now I tried to edit a page and it was triggering some bad word filter... because someone ages ago added the word N I G G A. Isn't this pathetic? I'm telling you! --LYRIC-Stormwatch (talk) 11:12, June 3, 2019 (UTC)
