| Please refrain from using non-specific filenames such as [[:file:Image003.png|Image003.png]]. File names should be based upon their contents and/or usage.

| I updated your fgd page template at [[User:NOUG4AT/Sandbox]]. Most games and mods don't have their own SDK, so it's better to avoid that wording. Additionally, I made a small (slightly messy) edit to avoid having an extra line at the start of the FGD.
 
{{Message
| user = NOUG4AT
| time = 21:13, 4 Aug 2023
| Thanks for your edits. My sandbox was a bit of a mess. Also thanks for edits to the liblist and especially g2s, etc. I appreciate your work. Also, a little off topic, I used your detail textures. And they worked well in the game. I credit you in gamebanana.

| Also, I don't think the Brotherhood of Arms pics really need to be deleted (they were officially released after all; they aren't leaked content). I've made a [[:Category:Team Fortress 2 (prerelease)|separate subcategory]] for those images, so they aren't effectively orpaned.

| Hi. I hope you are doing fine. Could you check if [[Detail_props#Third_Party_Tools]] is now better in that format? If it is, I'll modify the other articles I've edited before to follow that pattern. Actually, I'll use [[WAD]] format if that's ok.
 
{{Message

| Hello. Your additions have a place to be and should be. Your article is large and quite step by step. Wouldn't it be better to save some space of other articles and create a "see also" section. where there will be a link to your article with the necessary section for example #creating_wad. It is better to paste an additional link than constantly copying parts of your article. See also just implies useful articles in addition to the main one. this wording is also suitable for almost any article in addition to what you can use.

| When you are marking a deletion for a template, please add tag {{Code|<nowiki><noinclude></nowiki>}} for template {{tl2|delete}} ({{Code|<nowiki><noinclude>{{delete}}</noinclude></nowiki>}}). Or other pages using the template will be marked deletion too.

| It's okay, I moved it so that it was like a half-life model viewer, but if you object, we can discuss it. (cuz' hammer++ for example, it's not Hammer Editor++) By the way, thank you for the edits. <br>
I also added one feature related to increasing the limit of materials from 32 to 2048, I heard about this a long time ago when I was using HLMV++, or rather trying to use it. If you can say more about this, I will be glad, if I am not mistaken.<br>
Also for the future, if you send messages to discussions with the discussion template. You can see at the top where the template itself is depicted, the add topic/reply button. Click there and you will send a message.

| 1 = Some older pages still use the deprecated {{code|[[Image:]]}} link to post images in articles. This is deprecated, and {{code|[[File:]]}} should be used instead. If you want, you can also get your bot to replace all articles still using Image to use File instead.

{{Message

| 1 = I agree with your wording! I think you can specify it this way ([[Engine Tools]] reference) <br>There are tools in the list section, I think if you do it this way it will be pretty nice! IMHO.

| 1 = Yes you're welcome!<br>As for this Wayback window, the VDC Wikipedia has been performing quite poorly lately. Constant page reloads... And this Wayback Machine window.<br>Regarding RTX Remix, you've chosen a really interesting topic. Honestly, I hadn't even considered creating it myself for some reason. I did suggest some ideas for improvement, particularly regarding the valve terminology (though I could be mistaken), aiming for more connection with Valve within the article. Also, dividing some sections could be beneficial.

| 1 = Perphase valve is finally updating the wiki? I will fix up the page, the chromebook I use the VDC on I had to repair so I couldn't edit it, I have been messing around with it and it makes Source games look better than their source 2 ports! I will be including a guide for install, setup, and modding. The problem is VAC possibly thinking its a cheat client. As far as wayback machine, Valve may be archiving the site and moving the VDC to a new URL on a new engine, but that's just the copium hitting hard.
{{Message
| user = NOUG4AT
| time = 17:13, 7 Feb 2024
| 1 = Honestly, I can't say for sure. I hope Valve will eventually update this wiki or appoint new active administrators (though I doubt it). But regardless, good luck to you in creating modding pages. I'll make timely changes and suggest improvements as needed. I hope this doesn't come across as biased; it's simply a desire to help :)

== Organization thingy ==

| 1 = Hello!
 
Hope you're good. I ran into an issue while finishing up the Category: Prism Game Studios Ltd. page. I've got the games and mods categories in there, but I wanna move Portal Stories: Mel to the mods section because... it's a mod. But I can't find the hidden category on the Mel page, even after toggling my preferences.
 
The developer and publisher sections only have the company name, but that's somehow linked to Category: Prism Game Studios Ltd. games. Any idea how I can change this? I don't wanna merge the Prism Game Studios Ltd. games category either, since Prism Game Studios DID make a game which isn't a mod, Portal: Stories VR.
 
Asking you since I don't know anybody else, sorry.
}}
 
{{Message
| user = NOUG4AT
| time = 10:25, 16 Feb 2024
| 1 = Everything is fine, thank you. Regarding that... This is because on the page "Portal Mel," it is indicated as "Type = Game" and not a mod. That's why it's in the games category. I changed the line; you can take a look ([https://developer.valvesoftware.com/w/index.php?title=Portal_Stories%3A_Mel&type=revision&diff=386246&oldid=367952 here]), and you can do this in the future.<br>I also want to thank you for your edits, but in some instances, you're doing it a little incorrectly. You should conditionally create these lines on one page (the main one):<br>
{{codeBlock|<nowiki><onlyinclude>{{Organization category
| name = Prism Game Studios Ltd.
}}</onlyinclude>
</nowiki>}}
For example, this should be located in ''Category:Breadman''. The games/mods categories should already contain simply <nowiki>{{:category:breadman}}</nowiki>(Category:Breadman info). I hope you understand this mechanism, despite my poor explanation. This is for the future so that you know. Also, pay attention: the line <nowiki>"|about="</nowiki> is used so that when you click, you will go to the main page of the campaign. I made a kind of solution with the organization "Breadman," indicating a link to him profile, since I wasn't sure whether I should devote a separate article to him (maybe yes, not sure). If there is no such page, then simply delete <nowiki>"|about="</nowiki>, and if there is, then indicate it (link (VDC!)) or set the value to true (category name - will link to the page, example the: category:breadman to the page in "about" - breadman). See [[:Category:Breadman]] and sub-categories as reference.

| 1 = Regarding the developer/publisher, depending on the type (specified on the page in the template, i.e., game/mod/tool), when you click on the creators (companies), the exact category corresponding to the type will open (For example, Valve mod -> Opens Mods by Valve).

| 1 = <strike>Just give me Valvesoftware email, and I'll write to them, asking to make me an admin! For some of us, I think it's time to improve this wiki, including active users like us. We need to improve everything here, at the very least, correct the rules, and be able to block those who make useless edits. I'm serious; we haven't yet faced a real problem. The problem arises when a person can make 1,000,000 useless edits at once for spamming purposes. Imagine how much time it will take to change all this, and we still won't be able to block their access immediately.</strike> I sent a letter to ValveSoftware at four email addresses. I don't believe they will respond, but if they do, it will be amusing.

Check out his recent changes: [[Special:Contributions/ThePootinator]] He edited Quake Team Fortress, which would update the page to the most recent revision of the template, where he would see his mistake. This man, if he is even above the age of 12, does not have the basic skills required to edit a wiki like this.
