Hi! I'm Dinoguy1000 (or Phillip Patriakeas, if you know me in real life or on one of a select few websites), and I'm the primary maintainer of this wiki (more or less ^^ ). You can find out more about me from http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User:Dinoguy1000 and the assortment of pages linked from there, and you can always leave me a message or email me if you want to get in touch with me. =)

This has some notes on my thoughts for updating and cleaning up the wiki; suggestions are welcome. =)
Article naming
I think we want to start naming pages like "ext (Game Title) (Platform)" or the like:
- We'd use "ext" instead of ".ext" or "*.ext" so we can have autosort in categories and the like without having to do weird things.
- We also want "ext" to be lowercase unless a given game actually uses capitals (we would then make judicious use of
{{DISPLAYTITLE}}to make sure page titles actually display correctly). - "(Platform)" would only be required if a game is known to use different formats under the same extension on different platforms.
- "(Game Title)" should be the name of the game engine or game developer known to have introduced a given format, or else the title of the first game known to have used it.
- All of this, of course, is moot if a given format already has a "common" name, e.g. if it's a general-use format such as Bitmap Images or Zipped Archives, or a name otherwise widely used by modders/fans.
To-do list
- Register on MultimediaMike's wiki and ask for help with the Sierra VMD format
- Look around here more
- Add some formats
Subpages
- User
- User talk
