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.

For a more detailed list of projects, tasks, suggestions, and projects, see the our project list on Discord.

Hot Tasks

These are tasks or issues that more urgently need content, editing, or more user contributions. They are large, more involved tasks than basic edits, and it would be a good idea to consult with the Task leader on what needs to be done.

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. 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:

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.

Marked for deletion
Articles in this category should be investigated by an Editor. If the criteria for deletion are met, the article(s) should be deleted. This category should normally be empty

By all users

The following tasks can be carried out by all users.

Partake in active discussions
The Community Portal talk page is used to discuss topics that may apply to the entire wiki, organized events, or wiki management. Input is always welcome and will be considered before taking any actions. This page may also be used to remind users of events or changes that may affect them.

Add missing pages
Missing pages have been linked from other pages but have not yet been created; showing up as a red link. These pages should either be created, or the original links changed to a more relevant page that already exists. Note: Do not create translation sub-pages directly. (Appears as Term/language code. Eg - Tasks/en.) These are essentially handled as requests for translation, which are administrative tasks.

Add to articles listed as Stubs
Stubs are pages which need additional content before being considered full articles. After content has been added, start a discussion on the page's talk page before removing the {{Stub}} from the article.

Add categories to any uncategorized pages
This is a high-level task, and will require more in-depth knowledge of the categorization scheme first. Adding these categories allows for easier organization between pages and facilitates moving from one related article to another. Note that pages with infobox have categories set automatically through the template.

Recent changes patrol
By carefully watching the Recent Changes page, especially noting new pages and edits from anonymous users, vandalism and spam can be caught early and fixed before misinformation is spread to readers. Such changes should be reverted and Staff should be alerted in Discord or on Talk pages regarding the users' misdemeanor and the affected pages.

Fix orphaned pages
Pages that are not linked to are orphaned. Every page should be linked to from elsewhere, or it may be very difficult for users to find them. If the contents in an orphaned page are not useful, they should be marked for deletion. Care should be taken with red-linked pages, as they may be used in the future.

Fix dead-end pages
As opposed to orphaned pages, dead-end pages have no links to any other pages, forcing the user to go back. These pages should be updated to provide new, useful links to other pages.

Task requests

If there are any general tasks that need doing - but which you either don't have the time, skill, or user-rights to perform them - then please list your request under this section and sign it with your name and date.

Fixing 'Categories' section position on pages

On many pages where the body content doesn't continue past the bottom of the infobox, the infobox itself will go over the Categories section.

An example of this can be seen here: Ranta dung page on ipad, Ranta dung page on desktop ('Discussion' button isn't even clickable here)

If possible, could the category section be coded to always display below the lowest point of the infobox?
