:I'll admit to the spelling error I did but as for program vs programme in 'Olde England,' as you put it, where a [[Terry Pratchett|certain someone]] is from, program is used primarily for computer programs, whereas programme is the more general usage, such as for pamphlets/booklets i.e. 'Discworld Convention Programme.' --[[User:Jagra|Jagra]] 19:42, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

It's not actually a problem since you seem to have created the page (although the history doesn't say so, strangely) but "program" is acceptable in both the OED and Dictionary.com.

Erm...yes. One might wish you were more obsessed with filing and organisation. I doubt that many of us have thought of role-playing games as books, or songs as short stories (see other examples of games and songs). It rather defeats the purpose of categories and namespaces. Please look around and try to get a feel for what goes where. --Old Dickens (talk) 22:59, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

I moved the anthem back, however the Gurps books are just that, no board, no pieces. If you disagree with me, fine, but try asking me next time. --Jagra 15:01, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Good job on the categories...(looks for thumb-up emoticon: not a sausage)! --Old Dickens (talk) 03:57, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Gallery

I dont have any css setup in the default template for galleries at the moment. --Osiris (talk) 22:27, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Okay, what about the idea of a Navbox template, would that work the same as on Wikipedia? -Jagra (talk) 18:12, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
