Line 64:

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)
