^Well, plus I'll also admit the font for the categories at the top of pages (although sometimes it appears at the bottom too; with Wikia, they change stuff/code several times throughout the year) is a bit small as well so it might not be real noticeable to everyone (especially for those where working with a wiki is totally new).
Also, when figuring out Featured articles last night, I don't do a lot of stuff in a row, like arcades from the same country and all (although this time around it's corporate pages in a row, as there's several). Well, upon looking at which ones that will be featured, not only do I have enough to get through the rest of the year for, but I've also currently got enough featured articles planned to last through March of 2019. And not only is that good, but it's even better that none of *my* stuff is planned for that either (I've done enough of that already!).

Fatal RewindDo you have anything specific you want? I'm going on a road trip this weekend. Maybe I can be on the lookout.

Not really, just as long as a place has at least three games/machines anything's...fair (almost said "game", ugh  ). |

The latter, it could be all of the above, just as long as they're entertainment-/arcade-related.

There's a 7-11 in Philly that has one cabinet, but the cabinet has something like 10 games in one. You wouldn't count that right? I'd have to go back and take pics if you do want to count it. |

Right, there'd need to be three cabinets at least.

Whew, what a last update! So, I just finished up coding the last of the Dave & Buster's USA locations. That was a bit of a nightmare. However, adding a nightmare onto another nightmare was finding out the other day when I added many states/locations that, for some reason, several addresses had been cut off. Say if there was a location at 1000 Main Street #102A, the 102A wouldn't appear. It seems like when there were several addresses with a letter at the end of a number it wouldn't work, cutting off that part. I made additional notes of these and figured I would just leave off the part of the address that was screwing things up, then took MORE notes from several places I found a few things about online (one of them had a Facebook announcements page of its grand opening, along with the specials they had for that week, plus it was the 101st D & Buster's store to open up, so that worked for the Trivia section of that one). So, once I finished adding the last of the states a few hours ago, I went and corrected the ones I had spotted from the other day that were screwed, along with the ones from the new batch I had currently entered. However, I decided just to code them so they appeared to have the entire address to them on the main D & B page, figuring I wouldn't do any more stub pages for the newly screwed ones. I then put up several stub pages from the old screwed ones though. Now I have to figure out how the hell to submit a bug report, as due to some massive overseas change in regards to some kind of privacy act back in May (I forgot what it's called), that killed the original Wikia skin called Monobook. They created the Wikia skin about eight years ago, which was a nightmare to a lot of us when everything was changed and we didn't know where the hell anything was. Many of us kept on using the Monobook skin except for when its features stopped working over the years or just flat-out didn't exist, as there was no way to attach a video on Monobook, but with the Wikia skin it's at the top right of a new page. Well, once Monobook was killed once and for all back in May since it was no longer complaint with that privacy act or whatever, I've had to adapt to the Wikia skin, like it or not. All my Wikia sites look totally different as opposed to how they looked with the Monobook skin. Report a bug used to be at the left of all of them; now I don't know where that feature is unless it's just been moved to their Community Central site or something. Upon looking around for it earlier though, I ran across the Statistics area, finding that eight out of the 10 members of the Arcade preservation wiki has made edits in the last month. So that's pretty cool  At one point the other year my Vectrex wiki was flooded with activity when a guy on my gaming forums offered people a free overlay if they made at least one new article (since the Vectrex doesn't have color). I don't know how many people made edits during those weeks, as I didn't think to look, but this makes up for it though. |
