Todo

The wiki always needs work, this page is an attempt to create a centralized todo list. There are several things which basically always need done. And others need done only once. If you are working on something, feel free to append your name to an issue. If you fixed the problem. use <s> 'todoitem' </s> to mark the issue as done, don't just remove the issue as then we don't know what was done. Well archive the list of done issues later.

Recurring todo items

• TODO

Not recurring todo items

• Start making this list - Soy
• Add the Helping with the wiki info to this page.
• Make a template that can be used to tag information as 'needs to be checked' something like {{verify}}. Make it automatically add pages to a 'needs verification' category.
• Make a wiki style guide, with a list of best practices, some small details of fixes (like the mutations/bionics that have similar names, or the fact we call the '2x4' a two by four on the wiki)
  • Also add some common templates like the key one, the version ones etc.
  • Mention the wiki is mostly kept up to date with the latest experimental versions.
  • Mention how the 'what links here' page works. Tell people to update links to old pages if they move information around.
  • Write for the future. Don't write things like 'this has now been changed' write things like 'in {{inlineVer|0.C}} this was updated to ...'. Now is only now for a short while, in the future, the past is forever.
• Make a 'welcome to the wiki' template, which links to this page and the style guide so we can get new editors up to speed quicker. (Also, add a 'please no vanity projects' warning to it, there are way too many unfinished projects on the wiki, we don't need another '300 page 'how to play the game' guide where half the stuff is just empty 'todo' statements').
• Update the Tentacle Bracing page with the information from this reddit post.
• Make the various version pages like 0.C (Cooper) link to previous versions. (some sort of <-- 0.B link at the top of the page).
• Add links to old downloads to the version pages like : 0.C (Cooper). (Not sure if all pages have downloads, or if we can find them still, update this page as needed).
  • 0.C (Cooper) - has link to forum release thread so, done.
• Add keybinds image to wiki - Soy (I still have this in a file somewhere, somebody made it ages ago, never got around it).
• The date of the cataclysm was changed from 204X, 2040-2049 to 'sometime during the present day, in an alternate reality'. Search for and fix references to the old 204X. (But leave it intact on the old C:DDA Design Outline that page is just kept for historical perspectives and shouldn't be edited.
• Fix the links on the C:DDA Design Outline so they point to the new forum.
• After the links above are fixed, protect the page so it can't be edited.
• Updated various common templates with documentation. A lot of templates have no documentation, and reading the mediawiki scripts for the correct information is cruel and unusual punishment.
• Make a list of various game mechanics, check which ones need information, which ones are missing etc, add them to a gamemechanics category, or even a central game mechanics page which explains them in small detail and links to the bigger mechanics page.
  • example: evolve (no information on how this works, some pages link to it)
  • filthy
  • some page on the vitamin system. (There currently already is a page called vitamin which links to multivatimins, and there are links to Hidden_stats#Vitamins, so a disambig nation will have to be added to that, lets see if we can pick a non confusing name).
  • Butcher and dissection, how the new system works.

Todo for 0.D release

• Fix the template:ver template
• Fix the template:inlineVer template
• Find out what the name of this release is. For example, 0.C was called Cooper. This is needed for some links.
• Add the 0.D release links to the download/release pages.
• Add the changelog to the correct 0.D (name) page.
• Continue updating the mutations and monster pages to the new info that splits between auto generated information and wiki added information. - Soy (yeah, I was doing this in nov 2018, and I just have to continue doing it).
• Check the various update scripts, and see which ones still work for the new release, and update those which don't. - Soy
• Run those scripts - Soy
• Make a list of all the various guides, which release they are for (add this info to this page), and then go through all of them and update all the information. Also mark bad ones/unneeded ones with {{delete}}
• Make a list of all the FAQ questions, and then go through all of them and update all the information.
