Busy with exams over the three weeks; please contact me by Skype, PM or email if there anything you need to contact me about and I'll get back to you when I can, but expect some delays if your request isn't time-critical. - Space (talk) 21:00, 16 May 2015 (CEST)

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)
• Add latest subforum posts/activity to the main page activity tracker
• Code generator integration on the wiki using jQuery/AJAX
  • Attempt to find the current page title (if in the main namespace) on the code generator. If found on one of the code generator's item lists, create a "Generate code" form button, request that item using AJAX, store it in a variable, find any | image = tags and other things that need to be copied using regex, do a regex string replace on the generated code, and perform a "Show changes" form action with the resulting generated code as the input. Done the same day as it was added; not bad. - Space ^(talk) 19:41, 25 April 2015 (CEST)
  • Make the plugin a bit more smart about equipment pages (i.e. copying over all images). This will require updates to the Gun Infobox template.
  • Make the plugin work for all remaining content types.
• Template:Base Infobox breaks when included without an image. Fix. Fixed. - Space ^(talk) 17:51, 27 April 2015 (CEST)
• The code generator does not generate missions for bases any more; is it missing any dependencies? Investigate.
• Do a community survey about wanted content/functions and to gather suggestions and usage statistics at some point?
• Ask nicely for Extension:Replace Text?

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
  • Same style as the Help Chat, I suppose: dgcthread:82848
• 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.
