I came to this place just to cleaning up stuff on VDC that have been outdated for years, plus replacing deprecated templates with newer one that works better.

Currently doing

  • Lots of Source & Source 2 related. Example like Cubemaps.
  • Cleaning up game pages after {{Software page}} mess and colorful text that are inappropriately placed, which clutters the page and makes the page very distracting. Adding {{Infobox game}} as a replacement which was cleaner.
  • Update ModDB links template to allow linking to any other ModDB pages. The only downsides is this would break backward compatibility (through some ModDB links using numbers are already broken anyway).

Other stuff
