We only list the required data files for games, which are actually supported by ScummVM. The links (for required data files) shouldn't be auto generated via the template, since they aren't required by all game pages. However, some game titles in the data files page have to be renamed, because they're different from the game pages themselves - Md5 16:45, 4 April 2007 (CEST) Major changes should be discussed, and I had to revert the recent changes. Clone2727 15:37, 4 April 2007 (CEST) Good idea :) Data file bit is automatically computed now from the page name. ![]() I'm not sure, but is there be a way to form the link using the page name? Then, you wouldn't have to add it to each game. Sure thing, adding it to the template sounds like a good idea indeed :) - Md5 23:39, 3 April 2007 (CEST)Ĭome to think of it, I had proposed that idea in the GameDescription template discussion page but never got a reply. Ok, but as I said it would be a lot more efficient to just add it to the template. I also agree that it's better to keep all data files in the same page, but in my opinion it'd be good to link to this page from other pages too In my opinion, data files are part of each game's description, so linking to this page (with the appropriate anchor) from each game page makes the content of those pages more useful. Sorry for the late reply, but I think that Matthias was right in adding links to this page from the game pages. I don't see the need for an additional link to required data files, on each game specific page of the wiki either. We provide a direct link to the required data files page on the web site, but not to any game specific pages on the web site, so I don't see how new users could go looking through the wiki pages, without noticing that link on the way. As the number of supported games by ScummVM is slowly growing, I doubt many users would be looking up a single game at a time. A central location makes it much easier, then having to browsing several separate pages, when looking up more than a single game. This issue is something that would be better to talk about on -devel - Clone2727 22:39, 28 February 2007 (UTC) The required data files for all games, should be kept on a single page, for easy access. About known issues, that would partly be taking away from the compatibility, TODO, and engine pages. Before I knew exactly what I was doing, I could still read stuff on the site and figure out how to do it. Incidentally, this question also crops up when thinking about how to write the manual: Group information by "game", or by the type of information? (think about: datafiles known issues etc.) Fingolfin 17:05, 28 February 2007 (UTC) Personally, I like it all clumped together. OTOH if I am familiar with ScummVM and know about the datafiles page, it might be the first place I look at. If I am a newbie looking for this information, I might start out by looking at the page for the game I want to play. Clone2727 20:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC)Īsking the other way around: What is better: Having a single page listing all datafile requirements for all games *or* listing the required datafiles of each game? Both approaches have pros and cons, I think. There are too many games that would need to have this. ![]() It is a waste IMHO to go through each page and add this. Is it necessary to put the link on each page? It is linked from the documentation page already.
