Language sections?
I propose adding to wallpaper pages a section containing wallpaper names' translations in various languages

Here's the ones I have:

Windows XP:

I think I can add french names for Vista/7 sample pictures and titles too


 * Yeah, this would be a perfect fit for this wiki. When I get round to adding these sections, I'll see if I can find other translations and add them too. Glosswired (talk) 20:01, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Here are the Vista/7 samples, as promised

note that "Fleurs d’oranger" (orange tree flowers) seems to be mistaken (although that's the actual image title)

 * Thanks! I'll add these once I'm done with adding the ones for XP's wallpapers/sample pictures. Glosswired (talk) 15:31, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Uploading
Why is upload limited to Administrators? --YueLing182 (talk) 02:43, 15 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Seems it was a leftover from when I briefly closed this wiki several months ago. It has been re-enabled for regular users now. Glosswired (talk) 10:39, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

VisualEditor
Please add VisualEditor to make it easier to edit. --YueLing182 (talk) 04:11, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Приветствие программы сканирования
It's okay to create an article about "Welcome Scan.jpg" picture? It's not actually a wallpaper (even tho it large enough to be used as wallpaper), but it's a Windows Fax & Scan sample picture and it included in all Windows versions stating from Windows Vista Like IMG12345, it can be sorted to the "Other" category. --1280px | 08:40, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * It's same as Garden (Windows Vista) but at a higher resolution. --YueLing182 (talk) 13:53, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, so it doesn't need a page of its own. It's already mentioned on the Garden page. Glosswired (talk) 14:55, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

[solved] broken link on Main Page
Can anyone fix the "user account pictures" link on the main page?

Simply change this: user account pictures

to this: user account pictures

I have no access to it, so I can't do it myself. --1280px | 09:41, 12 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Done. Good catch. I'll probably rename the sample pictures category to use a lower case p too soon. Glosswired (talk) 14:55, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Use ISO 8601 in the spreadsheet

 * I'm using MDY on that because I think it's the only format the calendar there supports. Glosswired (talk) 11:23, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * EDIT: What's that calendar like? I didn't use Google Spreadsheet much as of now. --YueLing182 (talk) 08:38, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Or you could change the locale to Canada (English) so YYYY-MM-DD would work (go to File > Spreadsheet settings). YueLing182 (talk) 08:10, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

[suggestion] Quick OS navigation table
The current OS navigation system is pretty inconvenient - to quickly go from release to builds, you need to look for a link in the text. Switching from one OS to another is even slower - you need to type its name in the search box So I decided to make a small applet for articles about operating systems to solve these problems. It has very handy navigation buttons for quick transitions from one Windows version to another or from release to builds and separates all the short but important information in the table on the right side of the screen. I made it using wikitables. There's probably another way to do it and the source will look cleaner, but I'm not very skilled in MediaWiki and this is the only way I can do it Hope it (or something like this) will be implemented someday in the future UwU --1280px | 10:37, 24 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I do agree that navigating between OSs could be better. I do have plans to make infoboxes for each OS containing a few other details like what its default wallpaper is and such, I just haven't got round to it yet. It'll definitely include the previous and next OS. Glosswired (talk) 11:23, 24 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Release date and support status should also be added. Also, the navigation box should be a template. ThatRandomToast (talk) 12:51, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
