Things become bit better now. Still cleaning up the mess of the wiki.
Currently doing
- 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).
Todo: A plan to create {{Lang2}}, successor to both {{Lang}} and {{MultiPage}}. Combines features of Lang and MultiPage, all without requiring users to purge the page. It will also later had new features later in the future, such as:
- Drop-down select languages menu (through due to having little experience with HTML, I would had to rely on another user or by experimenting multiple times until it works)
- Less expensive and lower loading times as much as possible (may vary depending how many templates is used on the page).
Right now, the problem and differences with both language template is that:
- MultiPage requires purging page, and uses only one category instead of separating them in different languages, it does solve some problems that Lang had, however.
- Lang does not support new languages, and using {{:}}lang-id instead of /lang-id, making it harder to find the page on Page information.
- Both Lang and MultiPage, had issues when it comes to searching the page. The suggestions will be flooded with useless result which are just same page in other languages. Workaround is to use prefix (either lang-id{{:}}/page_name or lang-id/page_name instead of suffix, but the downside is that, both of them will not show up on "Page information".
At the moment these will not be used in any pages (except sandboxes) until bugs and other issues fully solved, and whether we use suffix or prefix.
Other stuff
Sandbox:
- User:kr0tchet/Sandbox - Testing stuff just to make sure things work.
Counter-Strike 2 draft page with {{MultiPage}} added, which later was moved again to Counter-Strike 2 when the game was released.- User:kr0tchet/Sandbox/Classic Main Page (Original Main Page from 2005, partially fixed)
- Draft:Deadlock - Valve next game,
Deadlock. Currently draft and will not be moved until Valve officially releases info about the game, previously this was built on my user pages.
Stuff created/edited
Note:This only list some of the stuff that I had done to this wiki which actually does works and improves alot.Pages
- Main Page - Added links to CS2 tools. And mentioning Source 2 on licensing stuff on the right.
- Counter-Strike 2 Workshop Tools - Used to be draft, but kinda finished, some subpage itself might be left unfinished or WIP through.
Templates (that I have created or improved)
- {{Banned user}} - Formerly, {{Banned spammer}}, this template was improved to mention "vandals, trolls, TOS, harassment, etc..."
- {{Software}} templates (such as {{sin1}} [
SiN], {{XboxXS}}[
], etc...) - {{Cs2-navbox}} - Copypasted from {{Csgo-navbox}}. For Counter-Strike 2.
- {{Software status}}, combined {{game release}} and it's variant into one template, which makes it quicker to update. Still need to cleaning up bit of spaghetti code.
- Many Topicons - replacing suf translations with Autolang, adding optional "nocat" parameters.
- {{Chapters}}
- I'm starting to think that i'm not sure whether this template is needed to be exist on this wiki or not, but it was used in Half-Life and Half-Life 2 to replace the simple Chapters stuff.
Experimental Templates
- None.
Cleanups
- Marked {{Delete}} on several game pages unrelated to VDC and/or does not use Valve engines whatsoever, all these pages were created when Steam was pretty new and third-party games at the time was allowed, but as of today these pages are worthless now.
Others outside VDC

Xbox 360/2010 beta leak weapon sounds
- Restores the old weapon sounds cut from the pre-2011 version of Postal III, which was less loud.

- Cutscene Subtitles (English)
- Simple mod that adds English subtitles, may not be 100% accurate but it's more like atleast 90-95%, some words might be incorrect as some SFX was inaudible due to music or other sounds effect overlapping them.
