Hey man, welcome back

Good to see you active again! Some stuff has changed a little in your absence. {{Software page}} has not really been heavily edited, but some features (metacritic reviews for example) have been added.

Most notably, {{entity}} has been combined with {{console command}}/variable and {{shader}} into {{This is a}}, with slightly different parameters.

Other than that, the wiki is very similar to how you left it. Another user, User:Lxm6, has been banned, but other then that nothing has changed.

Welcome back! --Equalizer5118 (talk) 16:05, 18 Sep 2023

This is a}}. All that remains now is to make a massive replacement of the code in the articles {{Emoji|clipguy}}

Also, it’s strange for me to hear that Lxm6 was banned, but as I understand it, there was a good reason. I'll find out the details of this a little later.

As for the changes to {{Software page}}, this is not how I imagined the review panel to be, but I like it. I also like the fact that nothing broke during my absence {{Emoji|relieved}} --Another OWL (talk) 10:53, 20 Sep 2023

Beside from that, templates such as {{Game release}}, {{Game release free}}, {{Software release}}, etc... (and similar), was being merged into one template, {{Software status}}, which would be soon deprecating all the previous one once it has all the features that these old template has. The code for that newer one was also much cleaner aswell with the use of strings subpage for translations.

Another template, {{tl}} was being deprecated in favor of {{tl2}} (or {{t}} as shortcut), which actually existed prior to this being added and was imported from Wikipedia with some modifications. That one automatically adds links unlike {{tl}} template. --Kr0tchet (talk) 4:46, 26 Sep 2023

Welcome back!

Hey OWL good to see you are still alive, I had a small question about the banners for the community profiles, for them do they have to be from steam or can they be custom? --Seal Enthusiast (talk) Sep 19 2023

Soon I will disappear again indefinitely :(


What do you mean by banners? If you are talking about an animated avatar frame, then you can either make it yourself or take it from Steam. It's a simple animated PNG in both cases. --Another OWL (talk) 10:33, 20 Sep 2023

what do you mean by "Soon I will disappear again indefinitely :("? if its fighting in the war there are ways out. --Seal Enthusiast (talk) Sep 20 2023

No, fortunately, it's not fighting in the war (I'm in the army, but not in the war).

Smartphones and such are not allowed in the army due to security reasons, but I am currently in a place where this rule does not exist, however, I will soon return to a military base, which means I will not be able to continue working on VDC for a while. --Another OWL (talk) 21:54, 20 Sep 2023

Перенос Dota 2 Workshop Tools:ru к /ru неудачен

Несмотря на то, что было перенесено. Dota 2 Workshop Tools:ru все еще имеет много подстраниц (больше 10 точно) и непонятные редиректы. Предполагаю что есть еще страницы. В поисковике можно посмотреть если ввести. Пишу, так как главная страница была указана к удалению, хотя многие страницы все еще остаются...

Похоже, в какой-то момент я отвлёкся на что-то другое и совершенно забыл об этих страницах. Постараюсь в ближайшее время закончить их перенос.}} --Another OWL (talk) 19:00, 25 Nov 2023

Images for source 2

Hi, I saw you posted some images for the Source 2 page that look like an old house, where did you get these from? --Seal Enthusiast (talk) 15:48, 26 Jan 2024

These are leaked screenshots from 2014 from the so-called L4D2 (src2). To be honest, this is questionable, I propose to remove it and add more relevant images. [1] --NOUG4AT (talk) 16:03, 26 Jan 2024
