[edit] Todo List

  • Episode Guide Project
Expand the content, especially summary info (this is an area where even the Lurker's guide is a bit sparse).
Create/adapt Battlestar Wiki Episode Data template.
Have a semi-automated link in the episode data to the Lurker's guide to the given episode.
Pictures! (At least one for the template.)
  • Citation Crusade (or whatever you want to call it)
Equivalent of BW:CITE.
ALL articles need to be vetted and have canonical info sourced, and non-canonical information yanked.
  • Character Project
Expand the content of all the characters, but particularly main characters.
Develop and implement a uniform character template.
  • Main Page/Navigation Project
Overhaul main page, possibly add some featured content sections.
Analyze what the "core articles" are, and make it as easy as possible to navigate to them.
Examine new skin/css options.
  • Categories Project
Analyze current category structure, and modify if necessary.
Once finalized, apply categorization scheme to ALL existing articles, and ensure that new articles follow the scheme.
  • Policies Project
This one is pretty major. Examine the existing policies. Add/modify as needed.
To a certain extent, enforce them. This is theoretically an "admin" job, but in reality if we're to succeed we'll need everyone on board.
Might look at canon policy, spoiler policy.
Maybe create an equivalent to BW:SAC?
Analysis/conjecture guidelines. (Example: Battle:Severed Dreams. Analysis is fine, but the "in-universe" tone is kind of confusing. Maybe just marking it as analysis and taking the voice out of universe might be more clear.
  • Cast/Crew Project
Develop and implement a uniform cast/crew template.
Create/expand cast/crew articles.
Pictures!
  • General Maintenance Issues
Spellcheck as we go. Firefox 2 has built-in spellcheck (finally), so let's take advantage of it.
Upgrade to newer version of mediawiki. (I want my "noinclude", damnit.)
User pages... everyone should have 'em. They're a sign of investment, and help promote community.
Wal-mart greeters. It's simple, it can actually be pretty impersonal, but it can really help retain people. I known Spencerian's canned greeting helped to reel me in at the Battlestar Wiki. (I didn't realize it was canned until later.)
Interwiki. An interwiki link to the Battlestar Wiki (and other major wikis) will help make linking to them easier (and more transparent to users).
Stub template causes false positive on "self-linking" list.
