===Merging Articles, Condensing Template Names, and Wiki Navigation bar===
First, I believe [[Land and Water|Land]] and [[Land and Water|Land, Water, and Items]] should be [[Help:Administrators'_how-to_guide#Merging_page_histories|merged]] into one article.
 
Second, many templates have long names (e.g., [[Template:RollerCoaster Tycoon Rides & Attractions 2D]]). They could be condensed (e.g., '''RCT2 Rides''') to make typing easier.

::As to number one, '''Land, Water, and Items''' was supposed to be deleted, have '''Land''' moved to that name, and then have the article undeleted so that the histories could be merged (as explained in the link I provided). But, I assume you had a reason to not have done that, and I do not need to know unless you want to explain. As to number three, I was referring to what appears towards the top of all pages, below "RollerCoaster Tycoon" and next to the wiki logo, where there are dropdowns for "Games," "Lists," and the default "Explore." Also, I had thought you guys had a [[help:Forums|forums]], seeing as how there are some pages under the "Forum:" namespace (e.g., [[Forum:Forum Rules]], [[Forum:What are we all about?]]), but I assume they were discontinued. Somewhat-relatedly, do you plan to get [[Help:Discussions|Discussions]]? [[user:SLScool|SLScool]] ([[message wall:SLScool|message wall]]) 23:19, November 27, 2017 (UTC)
===Background Images and [[RollerCoaster Tycoon Wiki:WikiTroll#Offenders|WikiTroll Offender List]]===
It could be fun to add custom backgrounds to articles. It would not only add artistic variety to the wiki, but choosing which image to put in the background could lead to some friendly competition to get the best picture.
 
I am new here, so I may be blind to a reason for it, but I believe the WikiTroll offender list should be deleted. It is important to never feed trolls—FANDOM has [[Help:Don't feed the trolls|a help article]] on that—and the list does just that.[[user:SLScool|SLScool]] ([[message wall:SLScool|message wall]]) 18:19, November 24, 2017 (UTC)
 
Regarding the troll page: We inherited the list from the sysops before Larry98's adoption of the wiki. The page was created in the very first days of the wiki, so it may be obsolete. I personally find it quite useful for admins to have an editable overview over past blocked users. However, I read the article you linked. So far, I don't know about users that felt encouraged to troll after being featured on the list. Also, there are very few trolls at all on this wiki over time. Besides that, a notable, curious thing is that there is a special page on every wiki that is similar to [[RollerCoaster Tycoon Wiki:WikiTroll|our WikiTroll page]]: [//rct.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Log/block http://rct.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Log/block]
 
:So, I think we can leave the troll page there for now. Deleting it will probably bring no benefit as there is the other automated site. What we could do is removing the link from the wiki's front page so it is less obvious such a list exist. Besides from that, the most effective measure against trolls should be a strict ban policy. The existance of a troll list seems rather not relevant to me. What do all you think? [[user:Bodoc_Calado|Bodoc Calado]]

Sorry guys, I know there's a lot of questions in there, but I don't wanna go and mess around with things before getting some input. Cheers- [[User:Matt_20_1|<b style="color:#FA0">Matt_20_1</b>]]<sup>([[User talk:Matt_20_1|<b style="color:#8DD623">talk</b>]])</sup> 13:12, March 2, 2018 (UTC)
 
==Limiting what pages the Random Page button can use?==
I think that the Random Page button shouldn’t bring up more personal pages on the wiki, like talk pages and user profiles, since they aren’t actual articles. Is there any way where we can make pages like this exempt from what pages it can use?[[User:Ho-tee|Ho-tee]] ([[User talk:Ho-tee|talk]]) 00:32, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
