=Ways to Help=
== August 2016 ==


If you have free time and would like to help out, here's a list of things that can be done:
=== Reorganization ===
Since there has not been any activity on the wiki since around two years ago, I have started working on a couple things. At this point I'm mostly going from the bottom, with individual pages, and then will update the portals which link to them. Feel free to work on these as well, and if you have better ideas on certain things, try them out or discuss them.


*Check the list of wanted articles. This is automatically generated when two or more pages contain links to a page that doesn't yet exist.
* '''General'''
::[[Special:Wantedpages|Wanted Articles]]
** As previously mentioned by [[User:Maghak|Maghak]], we might want to go through pages and rewrite the intro text (copied from HELP) into a simple, more informative format.
*Categorize articles. We have a list of existing categories and a list of uncategorized articles. To add an article to a category, click that page's edit link and at the bottom of the entry, type <span style="font-family:Courier New"><nowiki>[[Category:Category Name]]</nowiki></span> (Where "Category Name" is the relevant approved, existing category) and click "Save Page". E-points if you mention what categories you added in the summary box.
** On top of summarizing lore and such, I could see certain things from the game would have benefits here. Some things are also just easier to read on here than in-game. Some ideas:
::[[Special:Uncategorizedcategories|View Uncategorized Categories]]
*** Crafting commodities, in pretty, searchable tables.
::[[Special:Uncategorizedpages|View Uncategorized Pages]]
** Anything the little newbie in you wishes they'd have known about something, would make a good addition.
::[[Special:Uncategorizedtemplates|View Uncategorized Templates]]
*Expand on stubs. Stubs are articles that are far too short, and require more information. If you are feeling lazy, be sure to also mark short articles as stubs as well! You can do this by inserting <span style="font-family:Courier New"><nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki></span> at the bottom of the article, '''above''' the categorization if applicable. Adding the Stub template will also automatically put that article in the Stub category. Note that creating just stubs (that is, a new page with maybe one line and <nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki> ) is not really any better than just leaving it blank.
::[[:Category:Uninformative Pages|Uninformative Pages]]
*Expand on articles that were either copied from the game, or are poorly written.
::[[:Category:Help Files Needing Expansion|Help Files Needing Expansion]]
::[[:Category:Pages Needing an Overhaul|Pages Needing an Overhaul]]
*Add images to articles.
::[[Special:Upload|View Upload]]
*Eliminate dead-end pages by adding links to other articles.
::[[Special:Deadendpages|View Dead-End Articles]]
*'''Priority pages:''' Sidebar!
::The sidebar pages are the most visible and will probably be the first any new player will access. It is imperative that these contain useful articles.


== Community Talk Archives ==
* '''Cities'''
* [[Community Discussion/Archive 1|Archive 1]]
** Most likely need more appropriate colors picked for each cities. Using [[https://material.google.com/style/color.html#color-color-palette|Google material colors]] to choose from.
** Need to go through timelines, as well as the [[Timeline]] page to pick and add things.
** Notable denizens in each cities.
** [[Category:Cities of Sapience]] will list the new and improved city pages. It's missing [[Delve]] and [[Esterport]].
 
* '''Villages'''
** Haven't touched these yet. Maybe we could list commodities available in those that have some?
** Might need its own infobox, based on the area one.
 
* '''Areas'''
** Fix copied stuff from HELP. I just don't know that much about all areas!
** Notable denizens.
** Check connected areas, I sometimes miss some.
** [[Category:Areas of Sapience]] will list those that I've started moving to new infoboxes and such.


== Community Talk ==
* '''Races'''
** Pages using [[Template:Infobox_race]] have been updated.
** They might still need information about each. Strengths, weaknesses, a one-sentence description of them.
** I think we should add other non-playable races. Although we can always make a mega-page about non-playable races.
