I have never contributed to achievements. What are you talking about and why did you put the same text on almost every candiate? Mr. System Error(T - C) 07:00, 17 June 2024 (PDT)

All 4 of you have done a lot of work to make the wiki worse. The 'achivements' was only an example of the ways you and your friends have made VDC nigh-on-unusable. - Vaya Mapcore (talk) 12:07, 17 June 2024 (PDT)


Same thing can be said about me, I never make any change to user interface or the main page itself that would be hard or confusing to navigate. The only thing I did is fix the grammar on the User:THE OWL then redesigned home page which was quickly removed as it's confusing to navigate. For other templates, I fixed various categorization and other bugs on template, and merging similar templates (such as {{Game release}} to {{Software status}}) in order to making it more up to date easier without having to editing each one. --leonidakarlach (talk) 07:12, 17 June 2024 (PDT)
yes and this all disgusting stuff. VDC barely runs as it is without these overburdened pages. Why would I need a games metacritic score on the VDC, its steam deck status? this is meant to be a resource for modders and devs. This is why I voted you both down. I hope you understand this. - Vaya Mapcore (talk) 12:07, 17 June 2024 (PDT)

Please share more of your opinions about this site even if others aren't too happy about it, a new perspective is always helpful. (also please sign your messages) Wisdurm (talk) 07:39, 17 June 2024 (PDT)

changing the templates in the first place is part of the issue. None of this 'work' is needed and is making the VDC objectively worse. Thanks - Vaya Mapcore (talk) 07:50, 17 June 2024 (PDT)


also 'the change you want to see' is very difficult when you have users breaking templates constantly. It would be very hard to get VDC back to usable - Vaya Mapcore (talk) 07:52, 17 June 2024 (PDT)

Vaya Mapcore, have you ever wondered where metacritic came from? (if anything, we just improved on the huge crap that existed before us).

And how come you don't need Steam Deck data? Oh yeah, you're not a game developer, you're a mapper...

And it's people like you who decide what's useful here? Really? You don't even remember what existed here before, when I couldn't even think of editing this wiki. You also consider a thing created not only for players useless just because you don't need it yourself due to work. --THE OWL 5:59, 18 Jun 2024 (UTC)

You won't believe it, but a lot of things we just adapted to the new way of doing things. Not everything that's in here is made exclusively by us. Moreover, we mostly just experimented with what already exists, trying not to touch much of what is already there. It was not always possible not to touch something, of course, but the experiments will eventually unify the wiki content and make it easier to read, which was and still is impossible, because there are still few detailed explanations for newcomers, and an experienced user has to spend a lot of time trying to find the right thing among the mountains of text.

The wiki you remember was never a normal place for documentation. That's why many alternatives were created, which were preferable to a permanently broken stuff. We just started, but didn't complete the journey to rebirth the wiki. --THE OWL 6:24, 18 Jun 2024 (UTC)

Some of us work on documentation, others try to improve the appearance and capabilities of the wiki. This is normal and this is why we are not required to contribute only to the content of the articles. I'll work on it, but not right now, thanks. --THE OWL 6:31, 18 Jun 2024 (UTC)

Iam sorry you didn't like the way I voted. I just gave my opinion, thanks. - Vaya Mapcore (talk) 00:54, 18 June 2024 (PDT)
