Blackbird,
While I appreciate your diligence in trying to enforce "proper" fix submissions, an editing war over 2 separate articles is not the way to do it.
It doesn't help that both you and Gordonfreeman1 are acting in an amateur and embarrassing manner.
Simply put: Stop this nonsense both of you. I will start handing out bans if this continues further.
And to clear things up (based on what I read): New fixes should generally have a reference associated with them. That being said, there is no requirement (at the moment) that they need to.
If a fix is added and there's no associated reference (or online source that mentions said fix), just add a Citation Needed tag ({{cn}}).
Fixes should only be removed if the issue got officially patched, the instructions provided are intentionally malicious, or the fix is specific to pirated/cracked copies of the game.
When I get the time, I'll try to write out something in the Editing guide that will make this detail clear.
Just some random reference isn't enough. If it's the game developer speaking of Windows API it's a thing. If it's some random dude that just magically "I have fixed by unplugging the joystick" no.
Nonsense should also counts for removal.
And not being able to reproduce the thing, should always be an alarm bell for "something is wrong here". Be it just more precision needed, or "this is total BS".
Examples here of what I mean.
And if I had to have kept every stupid idea for fixing GTA:SA over the years, that page would look like a battlefield.
Why would you say the recommended vram is 4GB? The R9 280X is a 3GB card, they don't exactly say how much vram they recommend.
There was 3 or 4 GB listed. I just picked the highest one. Change it if you want.
Regarding your recent Manhunt edits, if you need square brackets in link text you can use HTML entities: [ for [ and ] for ]. Entities are displayed as intended without being interpreted as wiki formatting. This fix is applied when I process a page with AutoWikiBrowser via Garrbot, so these instances are also resolved over time.
Cool. Thanks for the info!
Hey,
I just wanted to thank for all the effort you've put in on keeping the many images on the wiki consistent, are replacing them with better, higher quality versions. Keep up the good work!
No problem! Thanks for the acknowledgment. It really motivates me further :)
I noticed some of the changes to the Fallout 4 page, where you fixed some of my changes relating to reducing template entries that would not be used, I didn't know that was an issue and I am fine with the changes. The thing that I found odd was when you made an edit to the Fallout 4 Cover, reverting it to the pre release box art and said it was "Wrong". I checked the Editing Guide and it says that my cover is valid as it is a Steam banner on the storefront, I chose it as it was to the point, less obtrusive than a long DVD cover, and doesn't have rating pending on the cover.
Now you could argue that it is for consistencies sake as most of the Fallout and all of TES games have DVD covers as their infobox images, but it isn't wrong that I decided to use the storefront image.
All games that have retail covers use retail covers. Just look around pages. Only ones that don't are digital-only releases such as Gunpoint.
Also where did you get all the other info like Steam Cloud being available? Is the game in beta or was that revealed? Assuming features isn't allowed.
The game is based off the Creation Engine (An improved Skyrim Engine), it is pretty much guaranteed that Fallout 4 will have features like Windowed mode and 4K support. I have left all of the Hackable and False entries that were in Skyrim, as Unknown simply because they may have improved on some of those features for Fallout 4.
Steam Cloud specifically was because every TES and Fallout (except for F3) on Steam had Steam Cloud support so it isn't baseless to assume that that functionality would be returning to a Steamworks title.
As for the cover issue you are right, though I have seen cases such as MGS TPP where there is a DVD cover available but they have opted to use a poster instead.
I see. Personally I don't care about that, but just saying that someone might revert it. And uhhh I added the cover (or its higher res version?). Just never updated it with the new one since finding good high res version is waste of time and the new cover is uglier anyway.
I appreciate that you found a much higher quality image for the Lego Chess cover, but what's with this "Chess at its prime" text at the bottom? It was never with the original box art to begin with.
Would it be possible to remove that text (or at least find a version that does not include it)? I would have to revert back to the previous cover otherwise as it is considered non-standard.
Done. Not that it changes much.
It's most likely a grey, not a pure black, I'll upload it myself.

Unreal Engine games allow the user to open the console by pushing @, I used that just in case someone might not know what the tilde key is. Because Yurop git scrub key like dis \
I don't have that key on my keyboard at all. Must be some English keyboard thing.
It does differend greatly from what keyboard you are using. With scandinavian keyboards, source- and cryengine games it's actually § and with unreal it's ö, even though every tuto tells to use ~ which is actually behind alt gr. Isn't @ on 2 behind alt gr on US layout as well?
Maybe just use US layout on pages and make list of keys with differend layouts?
I have an Italian keyboard if that's of any help. http://i.stack.imgur.com/9hOGH.png
It seems to be in same place where Ö is in scandinavian one: http://i.imgur.com/aQ6m3dP.jpg
