I was looking this wiki and I saw the glitches. I my self suffer glitches in my game, I was going to add it on the Talk:Glitches like it said. On it found it was so long and confusing. Most of it was Ip and some signed without signatues, it was very confusing. So i decided not to add my suggestion. I suggest we make the page into a table:

Name, Date and game Picture Problem Custom Content? 1st Opinion 2nd Opinion Resolved?

User:Example

Sim 3 Late Night

My baby is half black Yes from MTS You game is corrupted, un-install you game and then install it User:Example2

I put a second opinion as the first one may not be that helpful, I think this would be a lot clearer to use and when the page is too long you could Archive it Blue12porcupine talk 15:13, May 26, 2013 (UTC)

I could perhaps support something like this for glitches known to the shipped version of the game or if they're a common occurrence when custom content is applied but things would get hectic for the sake of notability per TSW:NP if we went chasing this up for every piece of CC.

I meant, if you have a problem, you could add it to the table on the talk page and then someone could give you advise for it. It basically it there for the same reason as now but more organised and less difficult to understand Blue12porcupine talk 16:51, May 26, 2013 (UTC)
Isn't that basically what our forums are for? Lost Labyrinth (c)(b) 18:26, May 26, 2013 (UTC)
Then why do we have this, I'm just trying to make it more organised so the page looks nicer and moe organised. Couldn't we turn that into fourms, but its easier for Ip to ask. All i'm asking is to make the page more organised Blue12porcupine talk 18:40, May 26, 2013 (UTC)
The talk pages are for discussing the article and any changes to it. Requests for help on the subject are usually directed to the forums, which are open to IP addresses. Lost Labyrinth (c)(b) 18:47, May 26, 2013 (UTC)
Then why does it say this on the talk glitches page "Please sign your name (using ~ ~ ~ ~ without spaces) after adding unconfirmed glitches to the list. If you have experienced a listed glitch, leave a comment underneath the glitch, and it will be moved to the main page. Please cite the game that you are experiencing the glitch in." I suggest a clean up of the page thats why is suggest the table, but we could delete it like the players stories and post it on fourms instead? In conclusion I'm suggestiong to have a massive clean up of the page Blue12porcupine talk 19:42, May 28, 2013 (UTC)
If I remember correctly, the Glitches talk page was at one time intended to act similar to how Blue12porcupine described it - people would report glitches and others would identify them then add them to the page. I also believe that the page was named 'List of glitches' at the time, so the whole 'suggest a glitch to add to the list' idea would've made more sense. Nowadays, your best bet is to just start a thread on the forums, come onto chat or the IRC channel, or try looking on other sites as well to see if the issue has come up. -- LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 02:51, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

Closed - As this isn't going anywhere, with the sole argument being dismissed based on the general usage of talk pages, it's probably best to close this thread. Anyone looking for help should probably make a thread about it over in help desk or ask in Chat/IRC. Lost Labyrinth (c)(b) 19:43, June 15, 2013 (UTC)
