As the wiki is currently still being built, this is a list of things that need to be done. It ranges from documenting certain historical events to setting up guidelines to enforce in all pages.

Policies

A series of guidelines and editing policies needs to be set up and fleshed out. Good ideas for policies include:

  • Required neutrality in articles
    The primary goal of the wiki is to document the community and its platforms in a completely neutral manner. Articles should always have a neutral stance on events that occurred or members of the community. For example, opinions should not be included in articles about historical events. No exceptions.
  • Conflict of interest policies
    Articles created or modified by people with a direct connection (and thus could be biased) to the subject matter should have a notice explaining the conflict of interest and how it could influence the article's wording.
  • Grammar policy
    Rejecting articles with poor grammar. This could be hard to enforce but anyone who consistently writes low quality content could be warned or blocked from editing the wiki.

Templates/Plugins/Modules/Wiki

We could use some features that a lot of other wikis have.

  • Message boxes
    This feature would be really useful for providing notices on matters like conflicts of interest or even content warnings. Most wikis have this in some fashion (see Wikipedia and The Cutting Room Floor for just a few examples).
    • Todo Template
      This could be used to list things that need to be done in the article itself for future editors to pick up.
  • Template and module documentation
    Documentation is key for them to be used how they were intended. A lot of these could probably be easily imported from Wikipedia.

Wiki

A lot still needs to be documented.
