Personal TODO/link list

  • Special:WantedPages
  • Special:Upload
  • Special:RecentChanges
  • Category: Pages without profile images
  • Make old revisions of pages (particularily ships) from previous versions of the mod more accessible. (how?)
  • File:Discovery486ShipStats.png
  • Roleplay -> v4.88
    • To-do: Try to remember what was wrong with the RP page and why it's on your to-do list
  • User:Space/Template:DrawLine
  • Template:Warning - Bring this up to the same level as Template:Server specific (transparency, standardization - almost all the notification infoboxes could use some work on those points, really)
  • Template:Historical
  • Template:Incomplete
  • Lightweight quote template
  • Update the sidebar - specifically the "wiki editor tools" - for v4.88 with more actually usable resources (change log, updated to-do list, progress tracker)
  • Upload v4.88 system maps from FLC
  • Standardized guidelines for system page layouts
  • New wiki logo (v4.88)
  • Some of the recent CSS changes (e.g. the background) do not seem to show up on various tablet browsers. [S] Space: Investigate.
    • Mobile versions of Safari seem to be very, very strict about doctype compliance.
    • All good to go!
  • Modernize and clean up front page?
    • Featured pages/images/other content on front page to show off good Wiki pages better? CSS3 slider on front page?
      • ...On that note: CSS3 slider template? (smoke)

List of useful things

  • action=purge&forcelinkupdate

v4.88!

v4.88 update progress tracker
49.56% updated 50.44% outdated

General technical/organizational to-do list

  • Set up a new to-do page for v4.88
    • Add engines
    • System pages need special attention and promotion there, as they are some of the most difficult and slow types of content to update as seen before after previous updates; they require good writers, as the page content does not already exist in-game for extraction and reuse
    • These would be good targets for a "bounty system" of some kind, as mentioned below!
  • Create a short and concise one-page guide and/or cheat sheet for new Wiki updaters with guidelines and checklists (particularly for the code generator done.)
    • Step-for-step update guide, essentially? Keep it simple. done.
    • Include image updating guidelines: Ctrl + H to hide the HUD, high-res 1:1 aspect ratio JPGs preferable with the object centered - use F2 (go-to) and stop your engines to let the game do this for you, include instructions for using FLC and the SP command line system (particularly the "base" command"), etc.
    • Google Doc link
  • Post announcement to front page and Wiki subforum
  • Create new Skype chat for new interested Wiki contributors for v4.88 to organize and help new editors
  • Give the front page a bit of a workover with a recent news/announcements column, recent edits column and a more fluid nav layout for ease of use and to show/promote activity; top contributors list? mostly done.
    • New 1:1 images for the front page instead of the terrible old ones; let them scale with page width up until they are 1:1, and let the link lists below float depending on window size done.
    • Combine the aforementioned info displays in a three-column thingy with the top ~five contributors, last five recent edits and recent news/announcements/milestones/whatever plus the update progress tracker across the bottom of it. mostly done.
  • The code generator needs a few short text snippets with usage instructions for each content type; some pages have this already, but all of them should have some short, short guidelines for ease of use, clarity and consistency done; see Code Generator Guide
  • Start taking pictures for v4.88; bases, navmaps (update navmap.mrawr.net), solars, systems, etc.
  • Wiki "bounty board" for high-profile wanted pages? (contact Rohj)
  • Important note regarding the new code generator: Quite a few pages including all equipment pages have changed layout and content standards since the code generator was last up and running at the start of v4.86; investigate the consequences of this before putting it into use. Non-issue, we're going with the old layouts due to cshake's code generator not outputting what we need to use the v4.87 templates.

System pages

  • Jumphole location verification
  • Base and/or other location verifications - are all the bases/fields still there?
  • Navmaps (v4.88.00!)
  • Auvergne needs images.
