==A list of things that need doing==
+
This is a list of things that need doing on the FF wiki.
  
* map pages need filling in (images, explanation of goals: think of an expanded version of the map loading screens). maps don't necessarily have to have a page each, we could group them by game type and link to anchors on the page. pages might get a bit big though, especially if we have lots of helpful images
+
==Things That Always Need Doing==
* all the non existant pages pointed to by the front page need creating & linking (e.g. system requirements)
+
These tasks are always on the radar of Wiki To-Doers.
* remove the "changes from tfc" from the class information page, or at least put it as a footnote thing <-- update: lets consolidate tfc changes into one page: [[TFC Player's Guide To FF‎]].
+
* [[:Category:0-Star_Articles|0 star articles]] - This is the category of all zero-star articles: pages that have little or no content. If you need something to do, chances are you'll find something here!
* expand and finish the class information page. move the weapon information from their own pages onto the class pages along with class specific skills explanations, etc
+
* [[:Category:1-Star_Articles|1 star articles]] - This is the category of all one-star articles: pages with very basic, non-detailed content. This is another good place to find things to do.
* simplify the tables on the class information pages. comprehensive tables with every last figure can be grouped together on separate pages. the [[Class:Scout]] class page is a good indicator of how i think the class pages should look (although the strategies+tips bit needs tidying up). note that scout page uses a different templates ("''Class''" instead of "''Page_Class''", "''Infobox Class Small''" instead of "''Infobox Class''") <-- update: template changes for all classes pages should be finished now. They may still require cleanup and adding the rest of the information, however.
+
* Article Reviewing: See [[:Category:Rated Articles]] for all articles with ratings. Every page on the wiki should have a rating. Making sure ratings line up with the content on the page according to the [[Article Rating Guidelines]].
* existing pages need to be grouped or separated as required so that they are inline with the basic structure described by the front page
 
* create some fact-sheet pages (one for classes, weapons, etc). all the numbers and details that were initially on the class/weapon/etc pages should be in nice tables on here. One started here: [[Reference:Classes]]
 
  
==Even More ToDo==
+
==2.42/2.43 Specific==
I'm going to make a new list here, which will hopefully be updated more often. If one of these items is addressed to your satisfaction (or it looks as if someone else has already), please put <nowiki><s></s></nowiki> <s>strikeout</s> tags around it, so we know it has been dealt with. Hopefully this section will be more useful and active then what was here beofore.
+
Tasks to make sure that the wiki is in line with all 2.42/2.43 changes.
 +
* Verify the damage and time values for the laser grenade, slowfield, and all other changed weapons. <--including sentry
 +
* Pictures for Warpath map page.
 +
* Probably a mention about soft clipping somewhere.
  
===Pages that need attention===

==Pages that need attention==
* [[What Fortress Forever Is]] - This is like a advertisement for FF, what type of gameplay, what features, what's fun about it, etc.  If someone falls onto the main page and says "WTF is this?" then they find their answer on this page.  ''It's pretty basic as of the time of this writing.''
+
These pages are in need of rework, more information, or reorganization.
* All [[:Category:Weapons|Weapons]] pages.  they are ugly and seem to have a fair amount of outdated information. A new template would be reccomended.
 
* <s>Any class pages where the introduction text is lifted from the TFC page on wikipedia needs updating with an original FF-specific introduction</s>
 
 
* [[Main Menu]] - could be fleshed out some more.

====Screenies====
 
* <s>Need screenshot of a player (from third person) that is [[:Category:Status_Effects#Immune|Immune]] (with the little white dots).  A dark map (crossover?) might show up better? Dunno.</s> [[:Image:Immune.jpg|Image]] [[User:DrSatan-12955|DrSatan-12955]] 13:53, 14 January 2008 (CST)

* More? ...
 
 
 
* I was thinking about making  pictures comparing the looks of the TFC (new/old style models), FF and TF2 models and put them in the x Player's Guide to FF. Good idea? --[[User:Hirohito|Hirohito]] 17:50, 1 January 2008 (CST)
 
* I think we could use an in-game picture for these sections under the [[Status_Effects|Status Effects Page]]
 
[[Status_Effects#Dead|Dead]], [[Status_Effects#Concussed|Concussed]], and [[Status_Effects#Crippled|Crippled]]

====Verification and fact-checking====
 
Do EMP's cause any metal to detonate including these:
 
 
 
Detonates ammunition that is deployed. E.g. Rockets in midair, deployed pipes, nails midflight, IC rockets, tranq bullets and so on.
 
 
 
Also, by nails midflight, does that mean nail nades nails or nailgun nails?
 
 
 
====Other things====
 
* AcidRenix has done a bunch of good video tutorials in this thread: http://www.fortress-forever.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13379. We should incorporate them into the relevant pages on here

This is a list of things that need doing on the FF wiki.

Things That Always Need Doing

These tasks are always on the radar of Wiki To-Doers.

  • 0 star articles - This is the category of all zero-star articles: pages that have little or no content. If you need something to do, chances are you'll find something here!
  • 1 star articles - This is the category of all one-star articles: pages with very basic, non-detailed content. This is another good place to find things to do.
  • Article Reviewing: See Category:Rated Articles for all articles with ratings. Every page on the wiki should have a rating. Making sure ratings line up with the content on the page according to the Article Rating Guidelines.

2.42/2.43 Specific

Tasks to make sure that the wiki is in line with all 2.42/2.43 changes.

  • Verify the damage and time values for the laser grenade, slowfield, and all other changed weapons. <--including sentry
  • Pictures for Warpath map page.
  • Probably a mention about soft clipping somewhere.

Pages that need attention

These pages are in need of rework, more information, or reorganization.

  • Main Menu - could be fleshed out some more.
  • Game Goals - could be fleshed out some more.
  • Map:ff_warpath - Map page for new 2.42 map ff_warpath. Needs some screenshots and a strategy section.

Pages that need to be created

Mostly incomplete links from the Main Page Contents.

  • Setup - A tutorial page for installing and setting up the game. Changing names, using cfg files, links to Player Controls (see below).
  • Player Controls - A guide to setting up mouse and keyboard binds, a description of the console and it's purpose.

Add some new ones?

  • Quick Start guide - Quick links an easy instructions for the quickest way to get playing.
  • Community resources? - Pages of clans, leagues, stuff like that. A link to the forum or some web-sites if nothing else maybe.
    • There are clan pages, but no community link. Many of the clans listed have died, since league play as a whole in FF is dead.

Images

  • Map Guides needs thumbnail images for schtop, impact, warpath, and destroy. Many map pages need detail pics for all loctions. All map pages in Category:0-Star_Articles are in need of screenshots.
