This is the Wiki TODO List:

When you create a page, append {{Stub}} at the end of the article below any category markers. This will automatically include it in the list of articles needing more work.

Always be sure to follow the edicts of the Style Guide when working on the Wiki.

Updating the Wiki

Our current priority (IMHO) should be updating the wiki's various out-of-date articles. I have thus created a template and category recognizing up-to-date pages. The plan is to have all articles lit up with that nauseatingly bright green banner by the time the mission starts, or someone other than the wiki team bothers to use the wiki. Whichever comes first.

I decided that this was not working and have therefore deleted the template. It was a good idea, but the template got applied to articles that didn't deserve it, and the project was too large to be feasible. Also, it was a bit ugly and blunt.---Benzyne^{Talk Page} 13:29, 14 January 2010 (EST)

Perhaps rather than templating the ones that we have edited we should template the ones that we have not. That way we are working towards firstly defining what needs editing and secondly getting rid of the banner, rather than cluttering up every article of the wiki permanently. - Darth Wombat 18:06, 30 January 2010 (EST)

Wiki Components

We need templates for:

We need Categories for:

• A category system at all! Category Standards need to be developed
• Habitat-Related
• Various lists of people who held a certain rank: example - Category:Teachers. Use {{main|main article}} as the category article, for example, Category:Teachers has {{main|Admiral}}

Habitat Systems Project

Create Pseudoscience that describes how the world works in the Beta Reality, including all Habitat Systems.

The project is being run from its Category Page.

Status: Work:

• See Category:Habitat Systems for list of articles under construction.
• Articles needing to be addressed
  • Radiation Shields
  • Navigation

Planets Project

Create an article for each destination that we've visited that contains basic information about that planet, when we visited it, and what we learned there.

The project is being run from its Category Page.

Please discuss this project on its Talk page rather than the CP; This article is big enough already. ---Q-Cumber 12:10, 11 March 2010 (EST)

Procedures Update Project

Now that the Mission is fresh in our minds, this is the perfect time to update the Mission Procedures.

This Project is being run from the Procedures Table of Contents.

Status:

• Maclean already has a bulk of work done, which she should put up.

Work:

Archives Project (Proposal)

We have massive quantities of paper records, which will likely be lost in the coming years if they are not properly archived. I suggest that we:

• Read through (or at least skim) our paper records, and use these to expand our coverage of Spacesim's earlier history
• Scan the records in their entirety and upload them as PDF files for viewing.

I'm willing to help with the first part, and the second if we can find someone with a scanner that exports PDFs. Max.Jeffcott 22:48, 10 March 2010 (EST)
