Project:To Do

Here is a list of stuff that needs doing on the wiki. Feel free to add anything you feel that needs to be done and move items that have been completed to the "Completed" section below.

Regular tasks
These are regular tasks. Please do not remove them or mark as complete, as they need to be checked regularly.
 * Category:Wiki maintenance
 * pages in Category:Deleteme
 * pages in Category:Pages with deprecated config template parameters
 * pages in Category:Pages with rating template issues (subtracted a few pages to properly "zero" this count)
 * pages in Category:Pages with revision template errors (subtracted a few pages to properly "zero" this count)
 * pages in Category:Pages with too many expensive parser function calls
 * Special:DoubleRedirects

Misc

 * Create page documenting the various current Wiki conventions (i.e. title naming, appropriate config entries, Version compatibility handling, rating templates use, revision template use, etc.). Expose the page in appropriate locations (main page, comment on list pages, etc).
 * Correct maximum file size indicator on upload page. It says 2Mb files are accepted, but 1Mb seems to be the actual cut-off.Kolano 18:33, 4 June 2011 (CEST)

List

 * Clean up lists by adding missing information
 * Add orphaned or games not in the lists into the list pages.

Config

 * Improve config documentation on Template page and update config sections to only use filled parameters.
 * Clean blank entries and add only the used ones. Please provide feedback here.
 * I'd be OK with such if: we can provide some documentation of the settings used by the config template somewhere;we reference that location from each config entry.Kolano 05:58, 5 April 2011 (CEST)
 * Here's a search that returns the ~130 pages that need to be blanked out.
 * Update to generate additional error categories (non-on/off values, missing notes, etc.)Kolano 09:18, 3 July 2011 (CEST)

Infobox

 * Clean up publisher/release date info to indicate differing region releases more appropriately (see Fragile Dreams : Farewell Ruins Of The Moon)
 * Consider purging emulation irrelevant details.
 * Clean up Input methods related to other platforms not emulated by Dolphin.
 * Consider cleaning up info for developers (such as FPS, Rel modules, DTK ADPCM, Size, FPS...) Provide feedback here
 * I think it would be good if such useless information is removed as it could differ from user to user. --Endres 17:12, 31 July 2011 (CEST)
 * These details should not change user to user. Perhaps you were confused by FPS. It's not the emulated FPS, but the games hard-coded internal FPS. These details are mainly of interest to developers, but may also let us more easily identify issues shared across multiple titles. I'm not clear if an exact "size" can be easily established though, as such may be somewhat dependent on the specific disc image tools used (i.e. slightly different headers, etc may slightly effect the size).Kolano 19:48, 31 July 2011 (CEST)
 * Get rid of the cursed "Gamepad" generic rubbish that is spread throughout the wiki! I've been wittling away at it for a while, but it's a big job. Sure would be nice if a script could change all the GameCube "Gamepad" entries to "GameCube Controller"... MaJoR 08:24, 19 July 2012 (CEST)
 * Here's a list of the relevent pages
 * Gee thanks, I didn't know how to do a search before. >_> But seriously, the problem isn't finding them, it's doing it all. MaJoR 22:27, 19 July 2012 (CEST)

Categories

 * Add developer/publisher categories
 * Add more complete set of genre categories
 * Replace genres with genre category links

Navigation Templates

 * The template handle series it doesn't address by providing a notice to update the relevant navigation template.
 * The template parameter be Title rather than Series based. Such could allow a default template to be included on every page (i.e. outputting nothing if there was no relevant navigation). Unfortunately that's not compatible with my prior suggestion, so we probably need some further discussion.
 * Revise the following in the navigation template(s):
 * Revise German variables to English
 * Correct handling so final list item isn't displayed on it's own line. This is currently addressed by including a &amp;nbsp; as a final entry, but that's a less than ideal solution.
 * Make a navigation entry template.
 * This will need to consider the total count of templates used within this template. As we want to avoid hitting the too many templates issues seen in list pages.
 * Document conventions:
 * Entries listed in chronological order.
 *  (, )
 * Alternately, we might consider a format where Wii and GameCube titles occupy separate rows. Not sure if/how we'd handle Wii sub-categories (i.e. WiiWare, etc.). Please discuss.
 * Entries should be separated with a "&amp;nbsp;| " (This may be a mute point, if a separate entry template is implemented)
 * Query regarding recent navigation migration to sub-pages: Is this functional in any way? Per, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Subpages, "By default, MediaWiki's subpage feature is turned off in the main namespace, but can be used on talk pages and user pages."
 * I think that it's OK, Templates aren't part of the main namespace, so they probably have this enabled by default. Jhonn 01:11, 19 May 2011 (CEST)

General Discussions Cleanup
The General Discussions page has a number of now dated discussions on it. We should likely create an archive page, and migrate the now irrelevant discussions there. Kolano 04:50, 30 October 2011 (CET)

Transition to New VGRelease Template
"Looking at the Template, it fixes alot of old problems with vgrelease, like, it gets rid of the automatic reordering (which requires some ugly formatting to dance around), it lets you specify any region without it being spelled out in the template, and gives you more control over formatting. I don't do templates, but it may be worth considering to adding it here, either was vgrelease new or incorporating into our vgrelease somehow." MaJoR 21:54, 17 July 2012 (CEST)

Unfortunately the template isn't compatible with the parameter format of the current VGRelease. This means that each page using the VGRelease template will need to be updated. Listing it here till we get up the effort.Kolano 05:37, 18 July 2012 (CEST)

Completed
Below is listed only what was done last month. You can search the archive for what was done since To Do list was created.
