Twitter references

Heyo. It would be a very good idea to have Twitter references archived on the Wayback Machine or archive.today if you're going to add them to pages, because who knows how much longer it'll last with Elon Musk slowly destroying it. --SorachiJirachi (talk) 08:17, 30 November 2022 (EST)

Is there a way to do that automatically? I've gotten a bit used to VGMdb where any link is submitted to WayBack Machine if it's included in an edit comment, so it's not too often I've opened up the save page and submitted the link myself.  --Nicolaas Hamman (talk) 15:28, 30 November 2022 (GMT+2)
At present we don't have an automatic process for it. It does sound like a useful idea, though I think it could run into issues if users need to add external links to pages for other reasons. For now, you'll need to archive them manually. --SorachiJirachi (talk) 08:40, 30 November 2022 (EST)

Uncredited credits

There's a fun feature of DreamKey that I haven't been able to test:

There's probably a good chance the Dream Passports have similar "pages" -Black Squirrel (talk) 17:07, 4 July 2023 (EDT)

Ooh that seems interesting. I wonder then if that was the source of the first Passport's credits. I'll have to see about that and maybe check the 2 as well (EDIT: it definitely works for all three, confirmed for 1, 2 3). --Nicolaas Hamman (talk) 10:22, 5 July 2023 (GMT+2)
I got Dream Passport 3's credits out of the way quickly as it's just companies, plus is in-engine and scrollable, but Dream Passport 2 has been more difficult. It's a video, and not at a high enough resolution that I can identify a lot of the kanji that well (especially since they are slightly stylised). Hopefully I can consult a fluent reader tomorrow to go over what I've got. I'd like to get screenshots too, but emulators are always giving me issues with screenshots, including Flycast. --Nicolaas Hamman (talk) 00:08, 6 July 2023 (GMT+2)
