Thanks for helping build out the wiki! There's always lots to be done (especially after the migration from the old site)—this page provides an overview of some of the main tasks we need help with.
Ongoing projects
Validating imported places
With the relaunch of the wiki, one of the big goals was to update the atlas, filtering out places which are no longer active and generally updating all pages. Of the 1090 places in the wiki, 751 have not been edited since they were imported (listed in Category:Imported places). We need to go through all of these pages and validate them. Until they are validated, they will not appear on the map or show up in most place listings..
- Instructions for validation are here: Help:Validating a place.
- Some regional working pages are available here: Category:Regional working pages.
Editing & rewriting resources
The original wiki had a number of tutorials, files, and other resources written by users. These have more or less been archived on the Wayback Machine. They couldn't be automatically imported because they each have fairly complex and unique formats. We are manually rewriting these into the voice of the new wiki—updating their content, merging similar resources, and adding references along the way.
- Articles that need rewriting are here: Category:Pages awaiting migration
- Partially drafted or incomplete articles are here: Category:Draft pages
- All resource pages are here: Category:Resources
- A breakdown of all pages for migration is here: Stencil:Roadmap#Resources
Structural development
The above is editorial work, but there's a lot of architectural stuff we're working on for the wiki too (much more slowly). A list of the heavier work planned for the wiki can be found on the Stencil:Roadmap. This sort of work will involve a lot more knowledge of wikitext, how to use and edit templates, and potentially some Lua scripting.
Right now the development team for the wiki is User:Robertbaxter and User:IssuePress—but we're welcome to other contributors!
