Tasks

Create new pages

Special:WantedPages lists some pages that are linked to yet do not exist. There are many other major events and features which lack a page.

Meta

Categories

Categories need a rework. It is not always clear when a category should be applied. Even the names of categories are inconsistent with some being plural and some being singular. There is not a clear criteria for 'Good Article' or any other article ranking.

Periodically check Special:UncategorizedPages for pages that lack a category.

Technical

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 random good article feature.

Navbox

Navboxes list related pages. This or something similar would be useful to have on many articles, for example on a conflict article in order to see all battles and other related conflict pages.

In addition, the version of dynamic page list used by CivWiki is outdated and lacks features.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.

Infobox

Work has begin on Template:Infobox civilization. However much more work is needed to make the infobox as easy and flexible to use as possible. Infoboxes for other categories, such as events and conflicts would also be useful.

Wanted Pages

Special:WantedPages could be made more useful. It is currently filled with templates.
