Page size

This page is large. Probably should be split into smaller, more digestible topics. It's almost doubled in length. --JeffLane 16:30, 29 December 2011 (PST)

Actually before I did the makeover, I thought about partitioning the page into several other 'sub-pages', maybe only putting the table of contents box on Help:Editing, then create Help:Editing/Page_Creation, Help:Editing/Editing_Toolbar, etc with their own information. I didn't do it because I didn't want to change the layout TOO much at once. —Mattshu 17:01, 29 December 2011 (PST)
It would seem to make sense to start with retaining the basic page creation and syntax, and then link to pages containing all of the specialized notice and entity templates. --JeffLane 18:08, 29 December 2011 (PST)
How's it look now? —Mattshu 18:42, 29 December 2011 (PST)
Definitely an improvement. --JeffLane 12:17, 30 December 2011 (PST)
I'm thinking about making this similar to Mattshu's idea because this still is a really long page that I doubt people will read in full. Any thoughts? Pinsplash (talk) 18:42, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
No thoughts? Bumping. Pinsplash (talk) 16:30, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
Glad we all did this democratically. Since no one objects, it shall happen soon. Pinsplash (talk) 03:42, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Renaming pages

Is there a way to rename a page that has already been made? For example, I want to make a page for the 2014 standalone game Insurgency, but the original HL2 mod (a different version of the game) already has a page called Insurgency. I want to rename the mod page to something like "Insurgency (Mod)" so that a new page can be made called Insurgency. Is there a way to rename a page?

There is a move page feature. I'm not sure if it's restricted or not, but it's there. If you click the arrow next to the add to watchlist button (the star, up at the top bar, next to edit) there will be an option called move or similiar. - Dr. Orange (talk) 15:19, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

create a lobby-bot

Hi at all,

I want to code a program in python, which open a lobby for a Dota2 match on their servers and afterwards invite steam members to this lobby. I have already installed and imported the modules steam and dota2-0.2.6 but get confused by the mass of methods and their interactions. Is it possible with those modules and when yes, how?

This probably isn't the right place for this particular question. Also, remember to sign your comments on talk pages with four tilde signs (~~~~) which will automaticly insert your signature and date. -- Dr. Orange talk · contributions 17:40, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

definition of <source lang=cpp>

In pages such as VGUI Documentation, I have seen the use of <source> for syntax highlighting of a block of text. Where can I find documentation on the source macro, or even make something similar? —Pee (talk) 15:12, 21 December 2022 (PST)
