Pages watched by me
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
- 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?
List of useful things
- action=purge&forcelinkupdate
v4.88!
| 50.44% outdated |
General technical/organizational to-do list
- Set up a new to-do page for v4.88
- 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)
- Step-for-step update guide, essentially? Keep it simple.
- 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.
- 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?
- 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
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
