==General TO DO==
+
The following types will need updating:
 +
*System pages
 +
*Weapon pages
 +
*Shield pages
 +
*Commodity pages
 +
*Base pages
 +
*Planet pages
 +
*Ship lists - leave this for now because the content generator isn't perfect for it yet.
 +
 
 +
==Editing Priorities==
 +
'''(Things that anyone can help with)'''
 +
# [[:Category:Systems|System pages]] - Please add whatever you can to the systems, look at [[New York]] and [[Pennsylvania]] for examples of 'complete' pages.
 +
## This is high priority because it cannot be automated (especially the system description) since much of it is RP and lore based, not taken directly from infocards.
 +
# [[:Category:Images to be replaced]] and [[:Category:Pages without profile images]]
 +
## Again, not able to be automated, and is best done by lots of people who can submit a few images each. Try to name your images the same as the page name that they're for, it will help organization
 +
# [[:Category:Player Factions|Player Factions]] and [[:Category:Player Groups|Player Groups]] should be kept up to date by someone in the faction
 +
# [[Player Characters]] - If you have one on the wiki, it would be helpful to keep it updated here.
 +
# Put a link to the faction or group threads on the GC forums onto the faction or group pages here on the Wiki.
 +
# Start using the [[Template:Server specific|Server specific]] template on pages which need it.
 +
# Remove pages from all unnecessary categories. When they're empty, put a deletion proposal on the category page, if it already exists.
 +
# Anything else you think you could add that has value, go for it!
 +
 
 +

=== Missing Images ===
 
<s>'''All ships that require an image''':
 
Please add these only if you have a [http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=24543&pid=392386&st=0&#entry392386 Render], or if you have a picture similar to the [[Odin]]. Take note of the angle, the graphics style, rendering, lighting. That is the level of quality we want for images.

==Version 4.85.0 Changes==
 
<s>
 
* With the modification of gun classes, where [[Class 1 Guns]] are now effectively "Bomber Torpedoes" and [[Torpedoes]] are now more aptly "Fighter Torpedoes", should we change the names of the equipment pages to reflect that?
 
* With the above-mentioned change, for the ship pages, what should happen to the '''CD/T''' part?
 
** I personally am thinking that either hp_gun_special_1 or hp_torpedo_special_1 will add to the total 'torpedo' count in the CD/T field, but I would like to add a 'disambiguation' in the individual hardpoint section saying what each of the CD/T slots can actually mount.

**[[Civilian Shuttle]]
 
**[[Eagle - CTE-6000 Civilian Very Heavy Fighter]]

**[[Combat Service Freighter]]
 
**[[Combat Service Vehicle]]
 
**[[Lane Hacker Gunship]]
 
**[[Rogue Gunboat]]
 
**[[Royal Liner]]
 
**[[Salvager]]
 
**[[Slave Liner]]
 
*The [[Adad]] - should it include "The" in the name?
 
 
 
Otherwise, all ships updated with the new naming convention and for V4.85.0! [[:User:Cshake|-cshake]] <sup>([[:User_Talk:Cshake|feedback]]-[[:Special:Contributions/Cshake|contribs]])</sup> 16:09, 23 October 2009 (MDT)

<s>

==Factions==
 
*Add their ID to the NPC factions pages. Probably in a "See also" heading.
 
**Thought:  Add a spot to one of the relevant templates (NPC faction, faction infobox, something like that) rather than adding ID to the end of an article.  [[User:Sovereign|Sovereign]] 13:02, 24 November 2009 (MST)
 
*Fix the hardcoded ugly white background on player faction diplomacy charts
 
**I did Liberty, Bretonia, Kusari, and Gallia just now.  Rheinland, Hispania, and the misc. still need this done to them. [[User:Sovereign|Sovereign]] 14:07, 24 November 2009 (MST)
 
**Further update.  I have fixed all official player faction pages, and all NPC pages I checked were already done.  I believe this is done now.  [[User:Sovereign|Sovereign]] 16:28, 27 November 2009 (MST)
 
 
 
===Incorrect Content===

Latest revision as of 12:20, 4 May 2019

Please strikethrough or move the entry to the archive as it is dealt with. Use <s> and </s> tags for strikethrough text. See Discovery Wiki:Completed Actions Archive for completed tasks.


The following types will need updating:

  • System pages
  • Weapon pages
  • Shield pages
  • Commodity pages
  • Base pages
  • Planet pages
  • Ship lists - leave this for now because the content generator isn't perfect for it yet.

Editing Priorities

(Things that anyone can help with)

  1. System pages - Please add whatever you can to the systems, look at New York and Pennsylvania for examples of 'complete' pages.
    1. This is high priority because it cannot be automated (especially the system description) since much of it is RP and lore based, not taken directly from infocards.
  2. Category:Images to be replaced and Category:Pages without profile images
    1. Again, not able to be automated, and is best done by lots of people who can submit a few images each. Try to name your images the same as the page name that they're for, it will help organization
  3. Player Factions and Player Groups should be kept up to date by someone in the faction
  4. Player Characters - If you have one on the wiki, it would be helpful to keep it updated here.
  5. Put a link to the faction or group threads on the GC forums onto the faction or group pages here on the Wiki.
  6. Start using the Server specific template on pages which need it.
  7. Remove pages from all unnecessary categories. When they're empty, put a deletion proposal on the category page, if it already exists.
  8. Anything else you think you could add that has value, go for it!

Advanced TO DO

  • Add descriptive "USAGE" instructions to all templates. As seen in Template:System.
  • Add "What needs fixing reasons" to the "Stubs/incomplete" section on all pages that are listed at Category:Stubs.
    • Adding these reasons and things to fix, to the TODO page, so that people no longer have an excuse "I don't know what to do!" for fixing the wiki.
  • If you want to replace the wiki logo, just replace this image, Image:WikiLogo.png

Images needing replacement

Reasons: Pictures don't follow the precedent of other alike images. These are to be edited at a later date, when renders or more suitable pictures can be made. These often will be in use already and can be safely left as is, until a better picture is uploaded. Watch for "dark images", discolored or bad framing.

Some images may need attention due to the content and image subject not really in context of each other. Others may need a better angle or different framing. Others may need better lighting or clearer focus.

Category:Images to be replaced

Missing Images

All factions that require an image: Please add something that is relevant to the faction. Collated missing faction image list

Systems

ID list page

  • Consider reorganizing and rewriting the page with IDs grouped by Lawful/Unlawful/Corporation IDs instead. It's currently a bit messy.
