Game Filters
I've been thinking about this for a while, and when I mentioned it before, it was said that it would be very hard to do the "coding" for, and I got no idea how to do it. But anyway, when searching, say someone wants to get up to date on everything Black Ops II. They don't want something from CoD Classic coming up do they? That's why I propose when searching, there could be a list of all the CoD games (including DS and Spin-Offs), and the other things (Zombies, featured articles, real world), all the things that are represented with icons at the top of a page, all with a tick box next to them to select what pages we want to come up when we search. If I want only CoD 4 things to come up, I tick that, and only pages related to CoD 4 will have it (identified as being related to it because it will have the icon at the top of the page for CoD 4). No things ticked would result in anything and everything coming up. Others would include pages that aren't users, blogs or categories but don't have an icon at the top.

User/Blog/Categories Results
If none of this is to be added, there is one more thing I would like to add. There  MUST  be an option to not have user pages, blog posts and/or categories come up in the search. Ticking categories could also come up with the option to have only categories containing a page related to the game(s) kept or all the categories regardless of whether or not they are related to the game(s) selected.

It might end up looking like this (* means the box to tick):

Keep:_______________


 * CoD 1                   *  |


 * CoD 2 Big Red One * |


 * CoD 3                   *  |


 * CoD 4DS              *  |


 * etc.                      *  |


 * Zombies               *  |


 * Featured Articles   * |


 * Real-World Articles * |


 * Others                  * |

There, after half an hour of writing that, I think it's all right and makes sense. Sorry if it doesn't, lol. Telepathesis (talk) 15:43, October 13, 2012 (UTC)
