Full draft and discussion: Wiki: HomePages/Samsara/Drafts
If you'd like to weigh in on anything there and you're not an Editor, let me know and I can give you the role. This is a pure draft, anything on that page is subject to change and nothing there should be considered finalized or in-progress.
Current plans: Wiki: HomePages/Samsara/Proposals
Anything here is what I am actively planning on working on. As such, they should be prioritized in discussions as they will likely be finalized and acted upon within a week or two.
Note that as of making this post, it has been updated with a new set of current plans.
I'll be adding this info to the OP as well.

The existence of separate pages Wiki: EmulatorResources/BugReports and Wiki: EmulatorResources/Development screams "infobox" to me. I'm not sure it's worth adding a module to the site just to group a few links together, though if it were MediaWiki I'd have no problem quickly making an infobox template.
I contribute to BizHawk as Linux/cross-platform lead, testing and automation lead, and UI designer. This year, I'm experimenting with streaming BizHawk development on Twitch. nope
Links to find me elsewhere and to some of my side projects are on my personal site. I will respond on Discord faster than to PMs on this site.
Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like "What is software," because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems. For instance, how am I gonna stop some high-wattage thread-ripping monster of a CPU dead in its tracks? The answer: use code. And if that don't work? Use more code.

The first page used to have actual modules that embed issue info, but it wasn't implemented on the new site and that rendered the page useless.

How many of them are actual co-authorships, and how many are different names of the same user?

They're all cases of different names of the same user from what I saw. Most are obvious, I checked liutao on wayback machine

Should all be done.

Fixed.

Can Wiki: MoviesList be edited to include the site's 3DS runs now that we have some of those? I realize that would require making a new page for that purpose, but in my opinion, anything to make searching for a specific 3DS game easier.

Does anyone use MoviesList? It seems to have been intended as a way to view pubs relative to their game. But, it's not clear what should be done with it as a whole. It hasn't been touched in nearly 4 years, and is missing more than just the 3DS.
Might be more beneficial to move either MoviesList itself or its subpages under the Movies page. On the other hand, the Games page already does something very similar (albeit not exactly the same). Not sure what's the best way forward here.
If Wiki: Games/List directly linked to the publications for each game, it would be as functional as MoviesList. There's little point having another list to manually update.
Edit: Linked to the wrong thing before

That list is obsolete. It was created when game entity was first added and it was all manual. Now we have Wiki: Movies and Wiki: Games/List that solve all of the navigation problems automatically. I'd just remove Wiki: MoviesList as well as Wiki: Games (and move Games/List to Games instead).

What's your navigation workflow and why don't other lists work for it?

It's not that they don't work for my navigation workflow, it's more that I'm too used to Wiki: MoviesList to change to Wiki: Games/List and the like. That, and I've never used any of those other pages.
