D&D Wiki:Things to do

Help out D&D Wiki:

Maintenance

• Stub; Wording Issues; Needs Balance; Wikify. These are all lists of articles that need help, or possibly Proposal for Deletion, in various ways, don't burn yourself out on 'em!
• Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls — A category listing pages where templates have been used with at least two inputs to the same argument. These could use their template calls looking over and correcting.
• Special:UncategorizedPages should be empty; # A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 2.5e 3.5e 4e D20
• Special:UnusedCategories should be mostly empty (there are several legitimate placeholder categories)
• Check Files for copyvios.
• Category:Pages with broken file links should be empty - usually a good place to find spam that slipped through the new page patrol.
• User:Marasmusine/DnD Pages without an edition category
• User:Marasmusine/Pages with only maintenance categories
• User:Rouge Luffy merged a bunch of page histories, they need separating again.
• Template:Copyright Disclaimer - all instances of this need the "owner" and "franchise" fields filling in.
  • Hunt and remove all claims of "fair use" where we cannot do so; replace with copyright dislcaimer above.
• Special:UnusedFiles
• Hunt down all pages with either the {{Locked Page}} or {{Protection Against IP Edits}} templates that are not protected, and either protect the page or remove the template, depending on what you feel is appropriate.

5e

• Adding the SRD
  • Check: Add |notcategory=SRD to the homebrew lists (e.g. 5e Abjuration Spells)
• Check the infrastructure!
• Artifacts list, preload, template
• Add NPC category to appropriate creatures, create list.
• Use Template:5e Spell List for all spell lists. Reformat template list to display a table (with columns for school etc), rather than dpl-by-school.
• Make a new template prestige classes.
• Divide homebrew spells on class pages so that those with stub / needsbalance / marked for deletion templates appear at the bottom, instead of mixed in with the other spells.
• Make an "Other" tag (Category talk:Nephilim Tag)
• Add ability scores to the mounts and vehicles template. Talk:5e Mounts and Vehicles#Vehicle Ability Scores

To be continuously present on this list

• Categorize uncategorized 5e pages at Special:UncategorizedPages
• Standardize all pages in a supplement; make all page titles coherent: i.e. choose whether the best way is to label it as a "setting" or "supplement".

4e

• Category:Natural Type - change the category for all these to Category: Natural Origin
• Image for every race, starting with those without a maintenance template.
• #dpl generated feat table for those races that have feats
• Move racial variants from 4e Races to 4e Racial Trait Variants. (Dwarf, Dragonborn, Halfling, Elf, Tiefling, Half-Elf, Drow).
• 4e Creatures - check fields: make sure "elite", "solo" are in "role2" field; make sure "leader" is in "leader" field, etc. Check transcluded categories are correct.
  • Convert creatures to use Template:4e Creature Top Essentials
• Alternate Essentials-style templates for creatures.
• 4e artifact categories should be heroic / paragon / epic; not "minor" and "major"
  • Make a 4e artifact preload
• Add a "description" field to every 4e race to make the race list look nice.
• 4e Feats - x0 template is no longer needed; remove from all Feat pages and make sure summary field is filled in.
  • 4e Class Feats - organize by class; move homebrew to seperate pages and make DPL index.
• Add "rarity" field to all 4e magic items; remove transcluded categories
• 4e Deities - make new template and update all pages.
• Update all diseases to the new template.
• Add weapon category (hammer, flail, heavy blade, etc) to all 4e Mundane Weapons.
• Add the infrastructure to support D&D Essentials-style class system to 4e Powers and 4e Feats

Pathfinder

• Content makes a good start~
• Template:Pathfinder Creature needs adapting to incorporate new stats like CMB
• Pathfinder Equipment may need changing to account for different equipment types

• Pathfinder Races, Pathfinder Creatures, Pathfinder Feats, Pathfinder Deities, Pathfinder Complex Special Ability Components, Pathfinder Equipment and possibly more all need a working Create new whatchamacallit and preload.

• Pathfinder Races, Pathfinder Creatures, Pathfinder Feats, Pathfinder Deities, Pathfinder Complex Special Ability Components, Pathfinder Equipment preferably {{Pathfinder Equipment}} or whatever category templates, too

• Pathfinder Races needs a standard template for all homebrew races

• Note that, similar to how Pathfinder Classes will probably make use of PFSRD:Class Preload, pathfinder tables will look all new-age and fancy like the table at PFSRD:Fighter. Pathfinder templates should also have some distinct formatting from 3.5e ones to help differentiate them.

• Likely needs more tasks on the Pathfinder To-Do List!
