	You are the first person yet to ever revert any british retard spellings. Having both and both. Forget that. It needs to be consistent, and nice job, you reverted all my other mistakes. Go make a british wikia if it bothers you so bad, idiot. --[[User:Tommy-Vercetti\|Tommy-Vercetti]] ([[User talk:Tommy-Vercetti\|talk]]) 21:30, 1 February 2012 (UTC)		//

	I'm a writer, and if you think I would write anything of mine with combination region spellings solely to be PC or something, you're mistaken. I haven't seen anyone complain about my changing of british spellings for over a year now. Sorry, but I think it's been decided that we use american spellings. Using both makes it look tacky and literally amateurish; that's what I want to change. I want to make this site better than the stupid wikia and to look like a professional wikipedia. It needs a lot of work still, but every page I see of that, I work on it. --[[User:Tommy-Vercetti\|Tommy-Vercetti]] ([[User talk:Tommy-Vercetti\|talk]]) 21:43, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

			You are right - all user permissions on the site had been accidentally lost. This sometimes happens when we upgrade or alter our software. I've restored most of the permissions manually - please let me know if you can see anyone you think I've forgotten!

	I removed the term 'downloading Windows' on the PC and Mac pages because that implied that users should illegally download a copy of Windows. Whilst some people do that, it's not something we support here, and definitely not something we want to be encouraging.

			== Re: Location ==

			I think [[Template:Location]] is pretty good. I think it works best when used in conjunction with a map. My only real suggestion would be for the actual maps - a thin yellow line is not visible enough when used in a thumbnail. The area should be coloured in, like [[:File:SanAndreas-GTASA-map-locations.jpg]]. Another point would be that there's no harm having multiple links to the same page. I know Wikipedia prefers only the first link to each page to work, but I think it makes much more sense to allow people to click on the word when they read it, than have to scroll up to find an earlier reference.

			If you're struggling putting some points onto the template, then you have two options:
			*Allow multiple entries into each place, so you might have \|south=Airport, Verdant Bluffs, The Strip
			*Modify the template to allow a colspan/rowspan that lets an area take up BOTH the south+southeast boxes

			That second one is quite complicated (with loads of IFs) but I can help out. Lastly, you should write documentation for the template so that other people know how to use it. [[User:Gboyers\|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers\|talk]]</sup> 07:59, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

	Just a really quick point - when you're editing multiple sections of the same page, please could you try to edit the whole page in one go? As opposed to editing and saving every section individually and ending up editing the same page [http://www.grandtheftwiki.com/index.php?title=Missions_in_GTA_Vice_City_Stories&curid=1701&action=history 11 times in one day], because this spams up both the history and [[Special:RecentChanges\|recent edits]]. I'm not sure whether it's just you prefer to use the [edit] buttons next to each <nowiki>==H2 Header==</nowiki>, and not using the main Edit tab at the top of the page, or whether you forget to Preview. It's no biggie, but it might seem like you were trying to artificially increase your edit count, so we do ask users to change their habits a bit.

			:I'm probably not the right person to ask that question, but I'll try. The main point of those new templates are to automatically add the new image subcategories. Where the images already have the new categories, I wouldn't say it's particularly important to necessarily change the template, but I expect most need to be recategorised, so just add the template to do that.
