Changes: StarCraft Wiki:Things to do

Revision as of 19:05, 17 May 2018


	These are items that need work! Add items that need work here, and remove those that are completed.

Article

Update the seasons article to reflect newer maps, also find a way to organize the maps a better. Check through SC1 and SC2 map articles to find any without images or with little info.
The walkthroughs on Co-op Missions commander articles need a once over for accuracy.
Filling out missing spotlighted arcade map articles, also checking to see what spotlighted maps we're missing.
Finish splitting the mothership articles to reflect the "boss" motherships in Nova Covert Ops.

Images

Ensuring lore articles retain lore images, while game play articles get the game play images. This is especially important for the unit information boxes.

Linking

Unit articles were recently split between lore, SC1 gameplay and SC2 gameplay; make sure that the relevant article is linked to.

Templates

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.)

+==Article==
-----
+*Update the [[seasons]] article to reflect newer maps, also find a way to organize the maps a better. Check through SC1 and SC2 map articles to find any without images or with little info.
+*The walkthroughs on [[Co-op Missions]] commander articles need a once over for accuracy.
+*Filling out missing spotlighted arcade map articles, also checking to see what spotlighted maps we're missing.
+*Finish splitting the [[mothership]] articles to reflect the "boss" motherships in ''[[Nova Covert Ops]]''.
+==Images==
-* Building articles need reworking in a similar style as the unit articles and infusion of images, possibly from [http://www.battle.net/scc Battle.net strategy pages].
+*Ensuring lore articles retain lore images, while game play articles get the game play images. This is especially important for the unit information boxes.
+==Linking==
-* Many [[StarCraft_storyline|episode articles]] need to be written in past tense rather than present tense.
+*Unit articles were recently split between lore, SC1 gameplay and SC2 gameplay; make sure that the relevant article is linked to.
+==Templates==
-* Articles with [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Wikipedia|content taken from Wikipedia]] may need to be written in a style fitting to the StarCraft wiki.
+*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.)
-* [[:Category:Images|Categorize]] all images [[Special:Uncategorizedimages|currently uncategorized]] and those still in the [[:Category:Image_Categories|old image tree]]. Mark duplicate images for [[:Template:Delete|deletion]].
-* Implement guideline {{MoS-Names}}. Salient points to work on:
-** Convert many instances of "Protoss", "Terran", and "Zerg" to "protoss", "terran" and "zerg".
-** Rename ("move") articles. (eg. Siege Tank -> Siege tank.) A list of articles may be found [http://starcraft.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=%22&namespace=0 '''here'''].
-** Modify links to eliminate redirects to renamed articles.
-* Replace the current "list" display style for unit and building abilities and upgrades with templates: [[:Template:AbilityBox]], [[:Template:UpgradeBox]]
-**Update the references in the above boxes (they don't get updated as often as unit pages).
-*Split unit and possible building articles into lore and gameplay articles as set out by '''{{MoS-UnitLore}}''' and '''{{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.
-*Convert [[:Category:Upgrade_boxes|upgrade boxes]] to use [[Template:UpgradeBox]].
-**This is ''not'' a straight conversion.
-*AbilityBox and UpgradeBox have a default width of 30em. Put boxes into 2-column tables to reduce article length.
-*Convert [[Template:SC1UnitBox]], [[Template:SC2UnitBox]], [[Template:SC1StructBox]], and  [[Template:SC2StructBox]] to [[Template:UnitBox]].
-**This is ''not'' a straight conversion.
-**Some instances may need to be replaced by [[Template:CharBox]] or [[Template:VehicleBox]] used with Template:UnitBox. See [[Sarah Kerrigan]] for an example of this.
-*Upgrade all [[:Category: Navigation boxes|navigation infoboxes]] to the new code as demonstrated by [[Template:Books]].
-*Convert uses of [[Template:SuccessionBox]] to [[Template:SucceedBox]].
