StarCraft Wiki:Things to do

This is a list of projects which need to be done on Starcraft Wiki. If you see another project that needs doing, please add it to the list below. If you have accomplished a task, please remove it.

---

• Changing old references. There are still references to old information, eg preview videos, on the wiki. Often the information is out-of-date, and even if it isn't, it's still a better idea to use the "modern" references.
  • Create battle.net splash page references.
• Zerg and protoss history pages need updates.
• Stealing Thunder-related articles need updates.
• Mission articles often have very short lore and storyline sections; they aren't as complete as StarCraft I articles. (No surprise; it's hard to note down the info when you're more interested in having fun.) And on a related note, the quotation articles need minor edits to explain the context of many quotations.
• Many units have recently been split into lore, StarCraft and StarCraft II articles, but most links in gamplay sections are still lore links.
• Canon branching templates need to state whether they're "A" or "B" canon. (Discussions need to be made about Belly of the Beast/Shatter the Sky, but the other changes can be made immediately.)

• Consolidate the many little achievements articles into larger ones, in the style of "StarCraft_II: Wings of Liberty achievements". Achievements that are mission specific should go into their parent mission articles. New achievement articles should be:
  • StarCraft II exploration achievements
  • StarCraft II custom game achievements
  • StarCraft II exploration achievements
  • StarCraft II cooperative achievements
  • StarCraft II quick match achievements
  • StarCraft II combat achievements

• Split unit and possible building articles into lore and gameplay articles as set out by Template:MoS-UnitLore and Template:MoS-UnitGame. Related tasks include:
  • Removing redirects with Template:Link. Check navigation box links.
  • Ensuring lore articles retain lore images, while gameplay articles get the gameplay images. This is especially important for the unit information boxes.
  • Create and fill lore navigation boxes:
    • Template:ProtossVehicles
    • Template:ZergGroundBreeds
    • Template:ZergAeroBreeds
  • Ensure lore articles are categorized correctly.

• Move embedded videos using the YouTube extension to the "Video" namespace. Categorize videos into Category:Videos and Category:Images.

• Replace Template:Ref1 and Template:Ref2 with Template:Ref.
• Use Template:Documentation for all templates.

• Hero abilities templates (such as HeroStimPack) need to be created and distributed among the hero units.

• Tech tree templates (probably based on tree or imagemapping). A basic template would be important for the inevitable NPC factions such as the Tal'darim.

• Creating Hyperion room articles.
  • this site lists armory costs and here lists lab icons.
    • Bay 12 (Hyperion)
    • Cantina (Hyperion)

• Creating upgradeboxes/ability boxes for Wings of Liberty armory upgrades. Many need their editlink entry changed to editname.

• Listing of multiplayer maps (currently only up to date till end of beta)
