Forum:New Project Proposal: The Vault Verification Project

I'd like to suggest a new project to help the forum keep clean. We've all seen our fair share of bug's in each game, but some see the bugs and others don't and if someone sees a bug i think we need to at least get it verified in a certain amount of time say 2-3 days before it should be deleted out of the article. With the way it's done now some unconfirmed and quite frankly redicolus bugs are currentlly sitting on pages without verification or if they have been verified have no console or anything else by them to warn the Users of the wiki on what system to watch out for them(this mainly holds true for FO: Brotherhood of Steel and Fallout 3 and New Vegas as the first 3 games were all based on the PC but this is still no excuse for not having a Verify by it). Personally i think this would help us pick out the false bugs that have been edited in by anons and allow our users to avoid the more devastating bugs that cause the game to crash and them to lose progress. -bleep196- 00:35, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Poll
Should we start a project Page For verifying bugs so we can have a standardized System. Also who should make the project Page. Please leave a suggestion.


 * Yes I personally beleive that we need some standard policy for bugs to prevent pages getting clogged up with useless bugs and to prevent actual bugs that may be a huge obstacle for some players from getting deleted. I think someone who has experince with setting up project pages should be in charge of making the actual page as i have no previous experince with said thing, Perhaps Gothemasticator or Nitty should do it. ---bleep196- 00:57, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

=Comments= I agree wholeheartedly. Many presumably legit bugs are being removed after two weeks because no one has bothered to try and reproduce them. If we have a few folks (let's say 5 per platform at minimum, and PC users need to be willing to run without mods for the purposes of bug verification (which eliminates me from the group :P).

The reason I won't run modless is because it's not as simple as just disabling some .esm and .esp files for me, I've got resource replacers too. -- 01:23, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * And here I came to this forum, expecting to need to cite sources on pages. :/
 * I'm thinking that bugs should only be added if someone already knows the trigger; there's no real difference between the Xbox, the PS3, or the PC when it comes to bugs, with the exception of more nasty Havok engine glitches (see Lucky shades) on the PS3. That'll cut down on the raw amount of bugs, and verify them, and clean some of these damn quest articles!
 * One more thing; there don't seem to be any bugs in FOBoS, otherwise Itachou would add them. :P Nitty Tok. 01:46, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually Nitty's idea is an even better elaboration on mine, and he's correct all bugs are present in every game it's just a matter of finding the triggers. It would really clean up alot of articles if we could verify the triggers and get rid of alot of the false bugs, though it will be very time consuming to do this i'm confident we can get it done. Until Ausir or someone else approves this project i will continue my work on the Decapitilization Project. -bleep196- 01:50, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Please read through Forum:Bug_pages for the last go-round on the subject. Some helpful stuff from Porter there, as well as some discussion about the inherent problems associated with bug reporting on a gaming wiki. Cheers.--Gothemasticator 01:36, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
