Admin Rights
Went ahead and gave you admin rights too, since I checked out your other Wikis and can tell that you are a pretty good editor. Just make sure you don't get into any conflicts with the other admins on here and things should be alright. - Wagnike2 22:34, September 15, 2010 (UTC)
- Also, don't forget about categorizing when you do this import project. But looking at your other Wikis this shouldn't be an issue. - Wagnike2 22:35, September 15, 2010 (UTC)
- I removed your admin rights, as I was told my the other admins that I didn't properly follow the procedures set on this Wiki for granting someone admin rights and there was an issue with the whole process. Apologies. Please check out Wiki_Gaming:Admin_nominations for the proper procedure. - Wagnike2 16:54, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
- Looking at the edit history of that page [1] its almost never been used in the four years its been there. I think just someone who complained about what I was doing, decided to use that as an excuse to stop me instead of forming proper community consensus. Dream Focus 19:09, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
Daikatana
Could you please fix the infobox that was obliterated by your importing an article? Thank you. (VicGeorge2K9 22:01, September 16, 2010 (UTC))
- Just hit undo to move to the previous edit. There are 4,712 articles total in the window games category, and only 270 were here already. Instead of going through and manually removing those 270 from the list, I just imported over all of them. Sorry about the few overwrites. Just undo it if the previous version was better.

Xbox 360 list
List of Xbox 360 games
Can you take it back to the previous list please? It may look better now but the page is just too big. I can't edit the page because firefox crashes when I try. I would do it myself but my firefox won't let me.Veilor 06:25, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
- Do you have any problems loading up Wikipedia:List_of_Xbox_360_games? I use Firefox and have no problems at all, other than it currently lagging a bit on wiki for that article. Might just be a temporary server problem, do to all the new information I uploaded. If necessary, we can reduce the articles size by cutting it into 6. Dream Focus 07:52, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
- You can't really compare wikipedia and wiki as wikipedia probably have better servers that handle large pages better. But yeah if you could cut it, sure it would be great. But the problem is that it takes ages for the page to even load up. But try if you can fix itVeilor 22:22, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
- I just tried to edit it, and after a long delay, it still won't let me see that page. No problems seeing it before. I'll try again later. Other large pages load up fine. Maybe the templates are causing problems. The Zelda character list page is 60k and it loads without problems, while this one is 128K. I'll try chopping it into at least two pieces later on if I can get to it again. Dream Focus 23:22, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
- Done and done! Two pages now exist where there was once only one. See if that works for you. List of Xbox 360 games and List of Xbox 360 games part 2 Dream Focus 23:39, 2010 September 18
Yeah it loads better now, but I still question why we need the same template as wikipedia? Wikipedia have a lot of rules they empower, wiki gaming don't. Before it actually was just a list of the games now it's a lot more added which really REALLY could easily just been read on the actual games article pageVeilor 09:24, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
- We do NOT need to copy wikipedia on everything. If it is copied at least remove all the redlinks and fix the templates. Same problem occured when Wiki gaming was formed by Encyclopedia gamia / GameInfo/ Cheatbase wiki. I had to remove a shitload of garbage and combine stuff. I do not want to do that again. So you better have a solution of merging the data and not erasing everything over with crap from wikipedia --Cs california 10:29, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
- If you have a better looking template, then use it. I've imported some templates I noticed we needed. Very easy to fix, since there aren't that many which the game articles will be using. I think I got them all now. Most articles load up fine. And look at how few articles there were before hand, and now how many there are now? Over 90% of the game articles on this wiki I imported from Wikipedia. If anything was overridden that shouldn't be, then anyone watching that article, those who contributed and care about it, will notice the change and go and fix it. Most articles I've seen here are just stubs anyway, or no more than a paragraph. Dream Focus 13:14, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
- What's to say we need a template on the list? It's worked perfectly fine as it is, just being a list. And it bugs me that everything is copied from wikipedia. I saw your recent addition to your page. We are NOT wikipedia so ofcourse THEIR template goes away from here. I'd rather see the list being reverted to it's original form, simple one paged list. Veilor 13:20, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
- That list is nothing more than a category, without any other information but a link to things. Use a category for that. The list as it is now, shows other useful information to those interested in the topic. Dream Focus 13:25, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

- See? There is a category that list just the names in alphabetical order. [2] And that is exactly what the old list you are talking about did. [3]. Dream Focus 13:27, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
Imports
I am neutral on the idea of importing pages as long as you fix the red links and fix the templates. Also please DO NOT import more than you can edit. I do not want to go around removing red links and integrating pages that were replaced. --Cs california 10:00, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
- There is a bot that automatically turns red links into proper links to Wikipedia articles. [4] I asked its creator if there is a way to, instead of linking back to Wikipedia, anything that doesn't link to somewhere here, turned to regular text not a link. [5] And remember any page, even one with a few minor problems, is better than no page at all. The overwhelming majority of pages imported did not have any page here at all. If you see any template errors let me know. I think I imported all the gaming templates now, and only found two that didn't work at wiki and erased them. Dream Focus 13:24, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
- See if there is a bot to undo your imports on existing pages --Cs california 01:21, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
- That would be a lot more difficult to create. Not sure if that sort of thing is possible. Dream Focus 05:57, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
- Lucario is one of the pages you completely butchered. I imported it a year ago(before I fixed it up alot on Wikipedia), and fixed all the links and templates. Also, List of Pokemon is horrible. But more importantly, Pikachu and Charizard. While the Wikipedia version are good articles, you can't just c+p the whole code. If you have to, copy the text without code. I am going to revert some of your Pokemon imports, but you need to go back and fix what you did on other pages. That is unacceptable. Blake Talk·Edits 19:58, December 7, 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, unfortunately some pages were overwritten. Just hit undo on any article that was messed up, and its fine again. The vast majority of articles imported over did not have anything here before them. Dream Focus 22:25, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

- I lost my administrator rights after mass importing over thousands of game related articles from Wikipedia, so I can't help you. You'll just have to copy stuff over yourself. Put a Wikipedia template at the top though, so people know where the article is from though. Then it looks like this
