{{Archive|1|2|3}}This is the best place to discuss the wiki between all users.
===Merging Articles, Condensing Template Names, and Wiki Navigation bar===
First, I believe [[Land]] and [[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
Finally, [[MediaWiki:Wiki-navigation]] could be improved. "Parkitekt" under "Other Games" is a non-existent article, and there is no link to the forums.<br />

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 Horsti12'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 [[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]]

::And your opinion on custom page backgrounds? They are achievable by adding a piece of code to [[MediaWiki:Wikia.css]]. An example for [[Vanilla Hills]] would be:
::
<pre>body.page-Vanilla_Hills{
background: #000000 url(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/rct/images/8/8f/Vanilla_Hills_Overview.png/revision/latest?cb=20100119020028) 0 0 no-repeat;

No need to apologise. Well, there is no active project at the moment, I suppose. But Horsti12 and/or I, we plan to re-activate the [//rct.wikia.com/wiki/RollerCoaster_Tycoon:Projects http://rct.wikia.com/wiki/RollerCoaster_Tycoon:Projects] page and organise the most neccessary work sometime in the future. Horsti12 also is about changing and standardising the rideboxes and redesigning the front page. Things I find to be done soon are completing the RCT3 rides list with the missing articles (but with filled out table and using the article structure of RCT2 articles) and incorporating RCT World content into the wiki. But, as Horsti12 and I haven't assessed areas needing progress yet, you are absolutely welcome to find further topics which need work/improvement by yourself.

==Scenario Pages==
Line 52:
I've noticed some make mention of recreations done in RCT3 by (as far as I can tell) fans (i.e. they are not official released versions) and was wondering if it was okay for me to delete this information from the pages? I've also seen we have entries for user made expansions for RCT2 (eg. the UCES), to the extent that we have scenario pages for these fan made ones. Not to discredit all the hard work that went into making them, but I personally don't think the belong here and that we should focus solely on what is official (after all, where do you draw the line, as there are a billion and one different fan made scenarios/assets for the game out there). Again, that's just personal preference but I'm curious to hear what the consensus is.
I've also noticed some entries have pictures of the scenarios completed, which itself I'm not against but I feel doesn't really belong. I'm thinking of moving them to the scenario guide sub-pages if no one has any objections? On the topic of scenario guides, while some are really helpful, others are severely lacking and I was wondering if we had a protocol or anything for updating them? I know by their very nature there is more than one way to complete a scenario, but is it alright if I re-write some of the poorly done ones?
One more thing, I attempted to streamline the [[The Complete Scenery List]] and as part of that process I used collapsible boxes. Of course this is a solely antithetical thing, but I was wondering what you guys thought? Would you mind if I did this on scenario pages in a similar way, or prefer if I left it alone?
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)
