=== Plugins ===
 
While most plugin pages are in relatively good shape, [[Mechanics and Plugins]] is semi-focused toward [[CivMC]] mechanics. There has been discussion on how to write different pages for different servers, due to a major difference of mechanics and gameplay styles (e.g. [[CivReign]] mechanics are very different from [[CivMC]]
Most plugin pages need a lot of work. Check [[Mechanics and Plugins]] for a list of plugin pages. Generally, these pages need to be "de-civclassic'd" - they were written at a time when [[CivClassic]] was the predominant civ server, and tended to skew too much towards civclassic-specific advice instead of the more general, server-agnostic writing the wiki should be using.
 
In particular, many plugin pages reference a server-specific value for certain configuration options ("chat range is 1000 blocks", "snitch range is 23x23x23", etc). If this value has never changed across civ servers, it's fine to leave as is. However, if any significant server has used a different value for the config then a tabbed table needs to be constructed to display the difference between servers. See [[Citadel#Materials]] for an example of a tabbed table with per-server values.
 
This will likely require some research on your part to find the particular config value for that server, especially if the server stopped many years ago. Most servers make their configs public on github repositories.
 
''Superceded from original writeup of tasks:''
 
Here are some really specific tasks (please remove them from here once you finish them):
 
* [[Brewery]] move civclassic info to separate page (probably [[Brewery Recipes (CivClassic)]])
* [[Kira]] needs documentation transcribed from maxopoly's github (https://github.com/Maxopoly/Kira/wiki/API / https://github.com/Maxopoly/Kira/wiki/Relays)
* [[Factory]] "important factories" needs a rewrite and a mention of other actually important factories (ore smelter / charcoal maker, basically everything in the basic tech tree, don't include aesthetic factories)
Line 25:
Meta pages such as [[CivWiki:Editing Projects]] and [[CivWiki:Editing Guide]] are perhaps the most important to keep updated and clear. It must be clear how to edit a page and to what standards a page is judged.
 
=== Civcraft 2.0Wiki Importing ===
 
You'll see there are lots of pages under <code>CivcraftImport:</code> or similar. That'sThese are all pages from the stuffCivcraft fromwiki, originally maintained by the old[[Maester CivcraftAlliance]]. As the wiki is intended to document information about all these nations, we're hoping to update a good majority of them to keep them up to date to wiki 2standards.0 This is especially hard as the Civcraft wiki was written in a different format as the current CivWiki. Follow [[CivcraftImport:How to]] for more details on integrating them into the wiki.
