Topic on User talk:Andytizer

Hey Andy, Had a fair amount to ask you about etc so thought I'd post it here before I forget.

1. I swapped "Hackable" in the Video Settings template for a wrench icon which is now visible on all pages that use the template. Could you tell me what you think of it - I was trying to make it so what when you hover over it it says "Hackable", but that is only possible if you have it linking to the image page, which is undesirable.
2. I have two links I tried to post on Re-Volt which I have tested as safe and pretty integral to parts of the article, but cannot post due to the Wiki's in-built spam filter (these being z8.invisionfree.com/RRR_Racing_Forum/index.php? and z3.invisionfree.com/Our_ReVolt_Pub/index.php?showtopic=1357). Is it possible to override this?
3. I found an issue some users are experiencing to add to the Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven page, but didn't know whether to post it or not, as it seems the only solution is to make use of a No-CD crack (http://web.archive.org/web/20100821085751/http://forums.steampowered.com:80/forums/showthread.php?t=1397631) - could you clarify whether I should post it or not?

Thanks, Tom

1. Love the new icon - it's a perfect fit. What I would like is to have a single column (no 'Hackable' column) and for each to have a choice of either Tick-native Hack-hackable and Cross-no. When I have time I will work on this (and also I'm sure we can work the alt hover text in) but I'm pretty busy until Wednesday/Thursday with work stuff, or if you can get your guy to tweak it, it would be amazing :).

2. I'll talk to JRWR about the spam filter, I'm also having problems. You can put the references and links in as free-text for the moment as I have done.

3. I'm interested in starting a dialogue on how to approach No-CD cracks. I am also interested in specific DRM cracks like GFWL. The biggest concern is legal threats and takedowns. I'll post up on the general Forum about this. Edit: posted here Thread:PCGamingWiki:Forum/DRM and GFWL removal information

1. So would the single column have space for two ticks? One for whether its native and one for whether its hackable? Or are we thinking merging the two columns because if its hackable then its available for that game? 2. Ok thanks 3. Commented

1. Yes just 1 column, 1 tick/cross/hackicon for each item - we only need to know if AA is possible or not. Will make it much easier to scan, and additional info can go in the notes, and the notes could link to the relevant in-page hack.

Had a look myself, but looks like its more than the one template that needs editing. I can ask Jan to take a look.

Thanks that would be amazing.

I've figured out how to use the whitelist MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist to add more items in. Your forum links should work now, and any future whitelist stuff just ask me.

Awesome, thanks :)
