Hi again Gboyers. We've had another case of a user who got blocked, ran off to another wiki about Grand Theft Auto and started trying to build it up by plagiarism. The user's name is Joshualeverburg1 (and he has a sockpuppet named Big.boy111). He's already plagiarized one image from you guys, [[:File:Serrano-GTAV-trailer.jpg]] ([http://gtav.wikia.com/wiki/File:Serrano-GTAV-trailer.jpg his plagiarism of it]). Just letting you know so you can keep an eye on the situation. It probably wouldn't hurt to complain to Wikia either. <b>[[User:McJeff|Jeff]]</b> <sup>[[User talk:McJeff|(talk this way)]]</sup> / <sub>[[Special:Contributions/McJeff|(stalk this way)]]</sub> 23:55, 2 August 2012 (UTC) | Hi again Gboyers.

== Gameids Template == | |||
Hi Gerard, just pointing out that your recent edits to [[Template:Gameids]] (which you actually moved to ''[[Template:id]]''), have actually broken a number of templates. The purpose of that template used to be to convert the Game ID (such as '''IV''') to the full game name with a link (such as [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]). After the recent edits, the functionality has now been reversed to convert ''any'' input to the game ID, and a lot of templates, such as infoboxes, relied on the old functionality. For example, see the [[Yakuza]] article - {{template|infobox gang}} used to convert game IDs to game names, but now it's the actual IDs that are listed on the page. Seeing as the template being utilised by these infoboxes is actually now just a redirect to the new template, should we simply recreate the old template at the old title? Or is the plan to update ''all'' of the infoboxes to stop using it and use something else instead (such as {{template|long}}, and the infobox itself would have to produce the link)?
