Changes: GuildWars Wiki:Community Portal

Latest revision as of 16:03, 25 August 2011

Welcome to GuildWars Wikia

This page is used as a task list to keep our efforts in the wiki coordinated and help new contributors finding issues that need attendance. Additionally, this page's discussion page is used for discussions that affect the wiki in general.

Also check out Category:GuildWars Wikia for community related pages, Category:Helping out for things to do (and see below), and our editing guide and central help for information on how to do them.

To get hold of an administrator, write on the Admin noticeboard, contact an admin directly (e.g. via IRC), or leave a message for Felix Omni or mendel.

GuildWars Wikia chat

Did you know that GuildWars Wikia has an official IRC channel located at #gwiki ? It is a great place to chat with your fellow GuildWars Wikia users. Get connected - it may be as easy as using your web browser - and meet us there! See you soon!

Forums

GuildWars Wikia talk:Community Portal serves as a general forum about the wiki; in addition, there are some pages in the Forum: namespace. Template:GuildWars Wikia talk:Community Portal/forums

Projects

Please view the tentative guidelines for Project:Projects. Many of these task lists would be better suited toward a project—further, this article could be reconstituted as a real community portal if projects are better defined. If you wish to create a project for any list below, please do so!

Completable Tasks

These tasks have a well defined stopping point. The usual style is to indicate the subtasks with bullets, and strike them out as they are completed. Add new completable tasks to the bottom of this section.

Category:Needs SoC confirmation

Add Bosses that require Signet of Capture confirmation of skills in this category so other people can confirm them. Remember, RawDump is considered a form of SoC confirmation, just need to update the boss page, don't need an additional SoC check.

Update Collector rewards

The Collector rewards page needs to be updated, as Elonian collectors/rewards are missing for the core classes and such.

The weapons have Nightfall info. The armor articles still need to be updated.

War in Kryta

We have missing and incomplete articles regarding the War in Kryta:

Peacekeepers: The Peacekeepers, which were just added in a recent update need to be documented, pages need to be created, and builds need to be added. They seem to have different secondaries, so if they use an alternative build, add that too.

New Items: There were a lot of new items added recently. Some of the relevant articles are missing or stubbed. See the relevant project page for where you could help.

Missing Articles: There are some topics for which we haven't started articles.

Stubbed articles: A number of the stubbed articles are newly started WiK pages that need finishing touches.

Perennial Tasks

These are tasks that have no stop date. Usually, these are administrative tasks, or tasks that require collecting a potentially infinite amount of data. Add new perennial tasks to the bottom of this section.

Policy Formulation

Please look at Project:Policy for suggested guidelines for proposing and changing policies, a more centralized way of tracking what is currently up for discussion, and a more up-to-date listing of GuildWiki policy.

Furnish Missing Images

Tip: See Style and formatting/Images for advice on creating outstanding screenshots.

Related projects: Monster images project, Project:Armor galleries project

List missing images here:

File:Secret Switch.jpg for Secret Switch
File:Deep Jade Chest.jpg
File:Zoldark's Chest.jpg
improved Image:Zaishen chest.jpg (less black around the edges), possibly with uppercase spelling?
File:DungeonIncompleteHMIcon.png (displaying the icon for a HM dungeon that has not been completed).

Improve Spelling Quality

Help build Project:Misspellings and fix up all the pages linked to in there.

-=== Collect Boss/Mob Data ===
-# For each offensive skill the monster uses, record its damage on the talk page.  If the damage does not ignore armor, record the armor the victim is wearing.  Also note any enchantments or hexes that might have been in place.
-# Wait for a damage-guru to back-solve the monster's rank in the relevant attribute.
-=== Update Salvage Data Categories ===
-Update all categores which [http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki?title=Special%3APrefixindex&from=Contains&namespace=14 "Contain raw material"] to include all items in the wiki and add new categories to cover all raw materials.
-:I did my best to categorize all the item articles for which at least one material component is known. Yet, the vast majority of the items still need research on into which material they salvage (especially regarding rare materials), so there is still a long way to go. --[[User:MRA|MRA]] 16:20, 24 October 2006 (CDT)
-::I'm currently working on salvaging large amounts of collectable and salvage items to "fill in the gaps," and I'll be moving on to weapons (and everything else) afterwards.

-=== Data Collection For Drop Rate Research===
-If you're farming out there and committing all kinds of crimes against computer-controlled monsters, take a moment to open a spread sheet and jot down the drops of the monsters you take down. See, the [[Drop rate]] article for what data to collect.
