Rating Systems Category

Please rename Category:Rating systems as Category:Rating Systems (capitalization). I would do it myself, but there is a plethora of media in the category. Eganio^Talk 21:13, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Liberty Tree articles

Could you rename Category:Liberty Tree articles to Category:Liberty Tree Articles (capitalisation)? I was looking for a category to rename myself, but that has too many articles! Biggest GTA Fan Ever^Talk 06:01, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Heh, don't worry. It didn't take that long (just a few minutes)! Biggest GTA Fan Ever^Talk 23:54, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Liberty City in GTA III Era

Could you undo all edits by User:Nodnarb3 to last version by User:Learner22 on the Liberty City in GTA III Era page. I'd do it myself but I can't revert or undo intermediate edits. --Gta-mysteries 09:31, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

This is not the correct place to ask this. Ezanrki 13:19, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Unused Files

Hey Gtabot, can you do me a favour and delete the unused files that I have marked for deletion? ALso, can you please remove the "Unused Image" tag from images I have added to several articles but failed to remove? Also, can you please stop adding unneccessary images and/or duplicate images of images that already exist on this wiki?--MrLanceVanceDance 11:52, 8 August 2011 (BST)

I'll get the first one done easily. I'll look into the second one. As for duplicate images, can you provide an example where I did this? If you mean from last year, we had some trouble importing images automatically from Wikia, so that made some duplicates. If you mean more recently, let me know. gboyers ^talk 12:07, 8 August 2011 (BST)

I think I mean from last year, but don't worry, we should easily get that sorted out.--MrLanceVanceDance 12:13, 8 August 2011 (BST)

Moving

Hey Gtabot, can you do me the following favours:

1. Move Shoreside Vale Safehouse (GTA LCS) to "Shoreside Vale Safehouse".

2. Move Staunton Island Safehouse (GTA LCS) to "Staunton Island Safehouse".

I can't perform the following moves because I don't have the right to delete pages. Thanks.--MrLanceVanceDance 10:47, 13 October 2011 (BST)

Gtabot is for making large-scale automated edits (such as renaming/removing categories/templates on hundreds of pages), not individual page moves. If you look at the target pages Shoreside Vale Safehouse and Staunton Island Safehouse, they both exist and need to be deleted, which is why you aren't able to move the pages yourself. Are you planning on merging the pages, or making the LCS one the primary article for that title? gboyers ^talk 14:58, 13 October 2011 (BST)

What I am planning on doing is to move Shoreside Vale Safehouse (GTA LCS) to "Shoreside Vale Safehouse" (without the LCS) and to move Staunton Island Safehouse (GTA LCS) to "Staunton Island Safehouse" (without the LCS), as there is no risk of confusion. However, I cannot delete things so I cannot carry out the moves.--MrLanceVanceDance 01:14, 14 October 2011 (BST)

Shoreside Vale Safehouse is a redirect to Shoreside Vale Safehouse (Disambiguation) (which should be moved to the name without the brackets) and Staunton Island Safehouse is a disambig. What are you planning to do with the disambig pages? If you want to use those titles for the more prominent one and simply link to the other from the top of the pages, wouldn't GTA III be more prominent? JFletcher^Talk (formerly User:Biggest gta fan ever) 01:37, 14 October 2011 (BST)

I am going to add "(Disambiguation)" to their titles to avoid confusion. Also, in GTA III, "Safehouses" aren't called "Safehouses". They are called "Hideouts". It was GTA VC that first started using the terms "Save Points" and "Safehouses".--MrLanceVanceDance 01:44, 14 October 2011 (BST)

OK then, there are a couple of points here:

• I personally don't really like pages with (Disambiguation) on the end, it's a fairly long word, and a lot to type. I think that if we need to have a disambig, it should be at the main title. Often we don't need a disambig page, we simply have the more prominent page at the main title, and it links directly to the other page(s). As there are only two articles in that disambig, it isnt necessarily required (a simple link will do), but we need to decide which one is more prominent first.
• Fair enough about GTA III not calling them safehouses, but I would prefer to make the page easy to find rather than be 100% technically correct. The word safehouse is used throughout the series, and is very familiar to people who play these games. Does everyone realise that this word wasn't always used? (Obviously not, as the name is used in many GTA III related articles on this wiki). I think that people will look for Shoreside Vale Safehouse for information about both GTA III and GTA LCS, even though it's not called that in game. What do you think? JFletcher^Talk (formerly User:Biggest gta fan ever) 01:57, 14 October 2011 (BST)

EDIT: Actually, now I see that you've moved [[Shoreside Vale Safehouse {GTA III)]] to Shoreside Vale Hideout, it does make sense for usability reasons to make these changes, and have no pages with brackets (my argument above was more about which page should have the brackets and which shouldn't). I think in this case that the disambig can be deleted, and simply have a link that the top of the page to link to the GTA III version. Thoughts?
