Discovery Wiki:TODO

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.

General 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.
• CSS - Finish Template:Weapon, so that it looks like User:Nathrael\Bluebell, but works properly with the styles and flow.

Done to my satisfaction, additions welcome. -cshake ^{(feedback-contribs)} 14:19, 2 December 2009 (MST)

• Coding - Finish Template:Test Faction Infobox so that other servers can have their faction information on the wiki. Take care, this is an extremely delicate subject, and must be handled very gently. Easy logic but complex coding. Make sure you know what you are doing before attempting this. ~Chovynz~ ^{(Blabs • Ego) (Wiki Admin)} 15:07, 25 October 2009 (MDT)
• 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 ships that require an image: Please add these only if you have a 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. Collated missing ship image list

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

Version 4.85.0 Changes

• 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.

Chovynz and I worked it out, the torpedo pages have been renamed and we will not modify the template. -cshake ^{(feedback-contribs)} 16:47, 13 October 2009 (MDT)

• Check all content in Category:V485, if 100% correct with Discovery 4.85 Update 1, move it to Category:V4850.

Commodities

Done, everything is V485 now. Anyone, please verify legal status for Category:Contraband if you've got more information. -Cshake ^(feedback) 9/24/09

Ships

• Find and review/read discussion on Full ship prices between Chovynz and Tazuras and other editors.
  • Finish adding Full prices to battleships and carriers list: Capital Ships.
  • Review all main ship lists so that full price is being used. Take into consideration Igiss previous statement, Tazuras/Chovynz discussion and what is simpler for the future. ("Keep it simple" and "Future Proof")
• Check all Civilian ships statuses. Some need IMG to be added to the Ship builder/owner field in the Template.

The Wiki ship generator is now completed and can be used to verify ship data. If you see any problem with it please tell Chris or myself as soon as you can.

Specific Ship Issues

• What to name the CTE series Civilian ships? Should they be consistent with everything else?
  • CTE FR-2302-K Civilian Freighter
  • Civilian Shuttle
  • Eagle - CTE-6000 Civilian Very Heavy Fighter
  • Falcon - CTE-3000 Civilian Heavy Fighter
  • Hawk - CTE-1500 Civilian Light Fighter

  • Bounty Hunter Bomber
  • 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! -cshake ^{(feedback-contribs)} 16:09, 23 October 2009 (MDT)

Forward Guns for Cap ships

• Resolve issue of where to put Cap Forward guns. On the specific Class page for each gun or make a separate page for forward guns? (Different Forward guns have different classes.) ~Chovynz~ ^{(Blabs • Ego) (Wiki Admin)} 17:20, 1 October 2009 (MDT)

Capital Ship Forward Guns

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. 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. 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. Sovereign 16:28, 27 November 2009 (MST)

Incorrect Content

Xenos

Content suspect. Needs revision. Check if infobox matches Disco info as well.
Someone in the know of Xenos please check. ~Chovynz~ ^{(Blabs • Ego)} 17:39, 22 June 2009 (MDT)

Systems

• Creating a page for every single system
• Applying the new template to every single system page
• Updating the information on system pages
• Taking pictures of systems, planetary bodies, fields of all kinds and bases.
• System pages needing an update
