Revision as of 16:21, 20 September 2016
This page lists various tasks that need doing on Star Citizen Wiki. This list shows which tasks may be completed if you are unsure what to do next.
Note: Some parts of this page may be out of date. For clarification, please discuss on the Wiki Discord channel
Content Creation
The Star Citizen Wiki is still in development and many content pages still need to be created and filled with lore, technical details, and references. The easiest way to find pages that need creating is to browse the Wanted Pages list to find pages that are linked to multiple times, but do not yet exist. These are high-traffic pages, and should be carefully created to follow the Style Guide and the Example articles. Stubs show pages which need additional content and expansion. If you find a page that needs more content, add the {{stub}} tag to the top of the article to add it to that list
The following categories and sections need additional content before being considered complete:
- Category:Comm-Link - See Project:Comm-Link Archive
- Category:Alien_Races
- Category:Characters
- Category:Ships
- Category:Lore
- Squadron 42
- Crowdfunding campaign
- Star Citizen
- Add Images for the main page
Maintenance tasks
These tasks are part of ongoing maintenance work. They include short-term cleanup or long-term revamps of categories. These often take a backseat to main content tasks, but should be dealt with on a timely basis.
For staff members
The following tasks can only be carried out by staff members such as Editors or Administrators.
By all users
The following tasks can be carried out by all users.
