== Tasks ==
=== 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]]
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''Superceded from original writeup of tasks:''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)
* [[HiddenOre]] civclassic-specific drop table needs to be moved to a separate page or converted into a tabbed table for different servers)
* [[Enchanting]] needs to be de-civclassics-ified to not reference factories or "cauldrons" so much (instead say something like "in most modern civ servers, xp is produced through special [[Factories]], which may include multiple factory tiers which are more efficient..."). Don't reference farming/botting so heavily - that is liable to change in future civ servers.
* [[Elevator]] needs to be de-civclassics-ified: not all servers use a gold block as their elevator, and civmc uses lodestones as their elevator block. Remove minecraft elevators or only very briefly mention them; they're not part of the plugin.
* [[CastleGate]] needs documentation transcribed from https://github.com/DevotedMC/CastleGates/wiki
* [[ItemExchange#Relays]] needs documentation transcribed from the reddit post https://old.reddit.com/r/civclassics/comments/hh646y/introducing_shop_relays_using_ender_chests_to/
=== Update meta pages ===
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 Wiki Importing ===
=== Wanted pages ===
The wiki maintains a curated list of wanted pages at [[CivWiki:Wanted Articles]],. tryTry to find information on these to help navigational and informational efforts.
=== Flags ===
Make table containing all Civ flags. (see : [[Flags]])

=== Categories ===
[[CivWiki:Navigation|Categories]] need a rework. It is not always clear when a category should be applied. Category names follow the Wikipedia style of using plural names for lists of similar things (e.g. [[:Category:Treaties]]), and singular for pages related to one thing (e.g. [[:Category:Civcraft]]).
Category names follow the Wikipedia style of using plural names for lists of similar things (e.g. [[:Category:Treaties]]), and singular for pages related to one thing (e.g. [[:Category:Civcraft]]).
There is not a clear criteria for 'Good Article' or any other article ranking.
Periodically check [[Special:UncategorizedPages]] for pages that lack a category. Categorizing pages is important as uncatagorized pages are likely to be hard to find and thus often ignored, regardless of the quality of their content.
Any custom formatting possible on Wikipedia is possible on CivWiki, and sometimes can be imported in only a few clicks. Templates can greatly increase ease and speed of editing, navigating and reading. If you are unsure of where to find good templates or inspiration, use Wikipedia's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Good_articles random good article] feature.
=== Dynamic page list ===
The version of dynamic page list used by CivWiki is outdated and lacks features. This is what is used to list "★★★★★ Model pages" on the CivWiki main page. As this is essential it would be useful to find a superior alternative that allows for more precise and readable formatting.
