→Improving the state of the wiki
::Of course, I'm just a new SDV player with some observations. I don't want to come in here and change the style with how everything's done. I'm just here to propose some ideas and ask you for your thoughts. (PS: Sorry for the multiple edits. I didn't realise it wasn't letting me post an external link -- it wasn't giving me any warning lol) [[User:Haidro|Haidro]] ([[User talk:Haidro|talk]]) 10:14, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

::: The missing redirect / SearchDigest or a similar function absolutely needs to exist. I always wondered why the "Special pages" didn't list failed searches ('Wanted results' maybe?). Editing the German wiki i know for a FACT that there is tons of redirects missing, and search results are shaky at best, but I only ever add a redirect if I happen to stumble upon something obvious missing. And it can't just be taken from the English wiki due to language differences needing completely different redirects. [[User:Dubesor|Dubesor]] ([[User talk:Dubesor|talk]]) 14:30, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure you read all of [[Help:Editing]]. This wiki strives to be an objective encyclopedia of the game, without walkthroughs, advice, or strategies. The facts speak for themselves, and suggest mutliple strategies.
In addition, every change to the English wiki requires cascading changes in 11 other languages. So major changes to the English wiki are not something to be taken lightly.
There's no need for potato juice to have its own page, because a new player wouldn't encounter the quest until they were familiar with juice in general. They would receive the information via a [[Quests|Quest]], where the information can be found. Alternatively, they could search for potato juice and find the [[Juice]] page, which would explain how to make it, if they somehow didn't know already.
I appreciate your experience with another wiki. I don't think it applies here.
As for redirects, there's no need to create multiple redirects when a search for the term shows results that get the player where they need to go. That's a general statement, of course there are times when a redirect is the perfect solution.
My best advice is to get to know this wiki before proposing huge changes. Thanks so much, [[User:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[User talk:Margotbean|talk]]) 16:09, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

== Issue about Translation page for Modding:XNB files ==
Hi, Margotbean! Me and my partners have tried to create a Chinese translation page for [[Modding:Editing XNB files]]. We made the text format the same as English page and answered the security question correct, but after clicking Save Changes, the page stayed the same except the security question refreshed. I wonder if it's the technical issue? Or something we did wrong? Thank you! [[User:ErinY|ErinY]] ([[User talk:ErinY|talk]]) 21:28, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

:Hi! Some security questions on Chinese wiki have incorrect answers. Probably because the questions and the answers are translated by machine. I haven't found out the answer of the game's name when came across this question LOL. You can try to type English instead of Chinese when answering the questions or just try another question. Besides this, some answers are case sensitive. [[User:Horizon98|Horizon98]] ([[User talk:Horizon98|talk]]) 05:08, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
