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.

Pending

Issue Tracker Alignment

We need to scan through the Google issue tracker and align articles here with currently open issues. Ongoing review of closed issues would also be helpful.

Oldest open issue needing alignment: 267

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).

Config Template

  • Improve config documentation on Template page and update config sections to only use filled parameters.
  • 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)
  • Add more infobox options for pages that don't fit the usual molds. For example, System Menu and Broadband Adapter do not need compatibility, so they use the platforms template. And that means loosing out on details they could have. MaJoR 02:53, 24 July 2012 (CEST)

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.
    • This may be a bit easier to handle now that the infobox outputs series categories. So a page including a series category and not having a aligned nav template would indicate an issue. Would need to see how easy it is to parse out those details though.
  • Make the navigation template entry-based (like the ratings 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.

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)

Revision Template Updates

  • Branch builds, such as "3.0-712 Network branch" are displayed as "r3.0-712 Network branch" by the current revision template.
  • Revision template no longer links back to changes for that version since the transition to GIT. I think correcting such will require a build to GIT ID mapping established.

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.

Misc

  • Correct maximum file size indicator on upload page. It says 2MB files are accepted, but 1MB seems to be the actual cut-off. (fixed after moving to the new server)

Fix Pictures Lost in the Move

A number of images were lost during the move. I'll list them all here. (Fixed by Delroth magic - November 8 2012)

Hrm, this actually only seems partially fixed. The newest versions seem restored, but any prior versions are still lost. Not that critical an issue, but the image pages end up with odd errors on them, refer File:Doraemon-_Minna_de_Asobō!_Minidorando.jpg.Kolano (talk) 11:06, 8 November 2012 (CET)
Apparently The bot only pulled the latest version for all files. ALL files that have an old version show errors like that. Maybe we should purge the old versions? And welcome back Kolano, you've been missed. - MaJoR (talk) 12:08, 8 November 2012 (CET)

List

  • Add orphaned or games not in the lists into the list pages for: Wii, WiiWare, Virtual Console. (Done by Kolano - October 2012)

Config Template

  • Clean blank entries and add only the used ones. (Done by Kolano)

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. (Done by Jhonn - November 2012)

Harden User Registration

The problem of spam bots creating accounts and generating junk pages seems to be escalating. There have been 13 of them today (Sep 19th,2012), 8 the day before, and 6 the day before that. It would be good if we could harden the user registration process somewhat to better keep them out. (Done by Parlane during the site move. Added reCaptcha. - November 2012)

Videos

  • Better embed gameplay videos, generate template to embed video windows for Youtube (and other video sites?) (Done by Parlane? - November 2012)
  • Convert existing Gameplay Video section links to new YouTube or EmbedVideo templates -Kolano 20:04, 2 August 2012 (CEST) (Done by Kolano, though I may have missed a few due to shoddy search)
Yea you missed some. I've seen a few here and there. - MaJoR (talk) 07:40, 11 November 2012 (CET)
