Tasks

Civcraft Wiki Importing

You'll see there are lots of pages under CivcraftImport: or similar. These are all pages from the Civcraft wiki, originally maintained by the Maester Alliance. 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 standards. 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.

Wanted pages

The wiki maintains a curated list of wanted pages at CivWiki:Wanted Articles. Try to find information on these to help navigational and informational efforts.

Flags

Make table containing all Civ flags. (see: Flags)

Meta

Categories

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).

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.

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.

Special pages

It is worth periodically going through Maintenance special pages in order to keep the wiki clean and usable (Note: many of these lists are unhelpfully filled with CivcraftImport pages. Try to fix this if possible).

- This is filled with templates and thus not particularly useful. Try to fix it to show only wanted pages linked by users.

- Almost all pages have some related pages that they should link to or be linked to.

- Double redirects should be removed
