	Well i guess i can help out here and there do whatever i can but the only reason I asked if theres nothing to edit anymore is because well to me every page already is all that it can be (in my opinion) but hopefully that will change my additude towards editing on GTW when [[GTA V]] is released getting me to edit as much as i used to.Also as long as im here what are the requirements to become a admin?--[[User:Gtajesus\|Gtajesus]]		Well i guess i can help out here and there do whatever i can but the only reason I asked if theres nothing to edit anymore is because well to me every page already is all that it can be (in my opinion) but hopefully that will change my additude towards editing on GTW when [[Grand Theft Auto V\|GTA V]] is released getting me to edit as much as i used to.Also as long as im here what are the requirements to become a admin?--[[User:Gtajesus\|Gtajesus]]

	:So I hope it's clear that, even if the games turn out to be similar (which there is no evidence to suggest), we will still group them separately, which makes everything much much easier no matter what. That means we can easily mention both eras together, and we don't have to list the games separately. Yes, it's not an official way to group the games, but it's based on the official way they bring out a new numbered game whenever they change stuff. I hope that helps.

	::Yeah I know how the Eras work and whatnot, it's just the [[Grand Theft Auto III Era]] and [[Grand Theft Auto IV Era]] are different universes, whereas [[Grand Theft Auto V]] (Introducing the fifth Era) can still be in the same universe as GTA IV.

	Yeah Universes are the big over-arching dividers that Rockstar use (separating the 3 unrecognisably-different categories of games), Eras are a smaller division (where most features/vehicles etc are the same), and then you have can divide either by individual locations (which could have a couple of games within an era) or by platform (console/mobile). Don't forget that the [[GTA 1 Era]] and [[GTA 2 Era]] are both in the '2D Universe' but we group them into separate eras as everything is still different - only the style of gameplay and top-down view are related. See this table for an explanation, and I hope it makes sense!

 Hi again Gboyers.  We've had another case of a user who got blocked, ran off to another wiki about Grand Theft Auto and started trying to build it up by plagiarism.  The user's name is Joshualeverburg1 (and he has a sockpuppet named Big.boy111). He's already plagiarized one image from you guys, [[:File:Serrano-GTAV-trailer.jpg]] ([http://gtav.wikia.com/wiki/File:Serrano-GTAV-trailer.jpg his plagiarism of it]).  Just letting you know so you can keep an eye on the situation.  It probably wouldn't hurt to complain to Wikia either.  <b>[[User:McJeff|Jeff]]</b> <sup>[[User talk:McJeff|(talk this way)]]</sup> / <sub>[[Special:Contributions/McJeff|(stalk this way)]]</sub> 23:55, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

			== Common typo ==

			Hey Gboyers, I've seen many errors in the use of the word "it's".

			This site shows the way it should be used: http://garyes.stormloader.com/its.html

			It's is a contraction for it is or it has.

			Its is a possessive pronoun meaning, more or less, of it or belonging to it.

			I've been correcting pages, but it's very common. Users that may not know the use of it may think I'm vandalising the wiki.

			The mistake is so common; do you think it's best to just leave them, or correct it? I don't want to start any trouble, or have others reverting my edits.

			Please tell me what you think is best.

Gameids Template: Reply

Line 708:		Line 708:

	Hi Gerard, just pointing out that your recent edits to [[Template:Gameids]] (which you actually moved to ''[[Template:id]]''), have actually broken a number of templates. The purpose of that template used to be to convert the Game ID (such as '''IV''') to the full game name with a link (such as [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]). After the recent edits, the functionality has now been reversed to convert ''any'' input to the game ID, and a lot of templates, such as infoboxes, relied on the old functionality. For example, see the [[Yakuza]] article - {{template\|infobox gang}} used to convert game IDs to game names, but now it's the actual IDs that are listed on the page. Seeing as the template being utilised by these infoboxes is actually now just a redirect to the new template, should we simply recreate the old template at the old title? Or is the plan to update ''all'' of the infoboxes to stop using it and use something else instead (such as {{template\|long}}, and the infobox itself would have to produce the link)?
