D&D Wiki:Things to do

Help out D&D Wiki:

Maintenance

• Stub; Wording Issues; Needs Balance; Wikify. These are all lists of articles that need help, or possibly Proposal for Deletion, in various ways, don't burn yourself out on 'em!
• Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls — A category listing pages where templates have been used with at least two inputs to the same argument. These could use their template calls looking over and correcting.
• Special:UncategorizedPages should be empty; # A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 2.5e 3.5e 4e D20
• Special:UnusedCategories should be mostly empty (there are several legitimate placeholder categories)
• Check Files for copyvios.
• Category:Pages with broken file links should be empty - usually a good place to find spam that slipped through the new page patrol.
• User:Marasmusine/DnD Pages without an edition category
• User:Marasmusine/Pages with only maintenance categories
• User:Rouge Luffy merged a bunch of page histories, they need separating again.
• [1] [2] [3] cleanup templates
• Template:Copyright Disclaimer - all instances of this need the "owner" and "franchise" fields filling in.
  • Hunt and remove all claims of "fair use" where we cannot do so; replace with copyright dislcaimer above.
• Special:UnusedFiles
• Hunt down all pages with either the {{Locked Page}} or {{Protection Against IP Edits}} templates that are not protected, and either protect the page or remove the template, depending on what you feel is appropriate.

4e

• Category:Natural Type - change the category for all these to Category: Natural Origin
• Image for every race, starting with those without a maintenance template.
• #dpl generated feat table for those races that have feats
• Move racial variants from 4e Races to 4e Racial Trait Variants. (Dwarf, Dragonborn, Halfling, Elf, Tiefling, Half-Elf, Drow).
• 4e Creatures - check fields: make sure "elite", "solo" are in "role2" field; make sure "leader" is in "leader" field, etc. Check transcluded categories are correct.
  • Convert creatures to use Template:4e Creature Top Essentials
• Alternate Essentials-style templates for creatures.
• 4e artifact categories should be heroic / paragon / epic; not "minor" and "major"
  • Make a 4e artifact preload
• Add a "description" field to every 4e race to make the race list look nice.
• 4e Feats - x0 template is no longer needed; remove from all Feat pages and make sure summary field is filled in.
  • 4e Class Feats - organize by class; move homebrew to seperate pages and make DPL index.
• Add "rarity" field to all 4e magic items; remove transcluded categories
• 4e Deities - make new template and update all pages.
• Update all diseases to the new template.
• Add weapon category (hammer, flail, heavy blade, etc) to all 4e Mundane Weapons.
