Hi, I was just wondering something. I've been looking at these new sub-categories for screenshots and thinking are they necessary? We have a regular category for screenshots, do we really need to have categories for businesses, vehicles, missions...etc? --[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] 00:33, 29 April 2013 (BST) | Hi, I was just wondering something.

:The original purpose behind them was to make it easier to ''find'' images, for use in places like the main page, banner, other related pages and general usage. If we just had 'Screenshots of GTA IV' that would have thousands of images in and would be completely unusable. Splitting them up into characters, vehicles, buildings/businesses and weapons is pretty straightfoward - with 'missions' showing events. I'm not sure whether this is the best way, but I'm definitely open to suggestions. [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 09:37, 29 April 2013 (BST) | |||

The server move fixed the image uploading issue, but it in turn created some other issues (special pages, i.e. YouTube links, who's online, etc). I'm sure you're probably working on them already, but I was just wondering if there is anything I could do to help out. What do we need to do to fix the problems?

:Yes - long story short I have reinstalled the wiki from scratch to ensure everything works as intended (as our old copy got corrupted by the drive failure). I still need to go through and add a few other custom extensions, but I will be selective about which additional ones I enable. I was hoping it would fix the patrolling issue, but it doesn't help that when you [https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22marking+as+patrolled+failed%22 google the error] this page comes up top! I'll sort some of it today but feel free to point out any problems you see after today. [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 09:37, 29 April 2013 (BST) | |||
