Page controlled by Rabbitos
Categories
- Remove infrequently used categories
- Removed all "species-like" categories as they were contestable and applied unevenly
- Add missing categories
- Games types
- Character species
- Change naming conventions to be consistent
- All categories must be plural
- Categories cannot be renamed, so you must manually create the new category, add it to all relevant articles, and delete the old version
- Figure out how to get a bot onto the wiki that will re-categorize pages
Colours
- Add missing pets to all colour pages
Species
- Finish filling out all Neopet species pages
- Header image/pet logo
- The text images seem not to exist on Neopets for certain species and I'm unsure why?
- Some pet pages have text copied directly from other fansites. We had a wide-reaching DMCA takedown due to people doing this with Neocodex content before. It NEEDS to be replaced with original content.
- Header image/pet logo
- Fix UC sections
- Someone went and added random old pet art to the UC sections. The UC sections are NOT for old pet art! They are for colour/species combinations that are, you know, unconverted. These are special painted pets that did not automatically get their art changed during The Great Conversion and only certain combinations had this treatment. We literally have a page explaining what it means. No, yellow lenny is not a UC. You can see a full list of surviving UC pets here: http://www.neopets.com/~grattin
- Remove collapsible galleries for UC sections entirely; there are very few UC colors for any given species (usually less than 6, average is around 3) so it is not too much of a burden to have them displayed uncollapsed.
Layout (admin only)
- Figure out a cleaner header/dropdown system
- Removed Deckball from the Games dropdown and added 3 sections instead, Luck/Chance, Offsite (video) games, and Game Graveyard
- Create non-seasonal layout that is low in size so that it loads quickly and cleanly without looking pixelated
- Create easily-accessible templates for all major page types
- Revamp old templates, especially those with 3+ fonts and garrish colours
- Create brief markup & general editing tutorials for new users
- Create an updated rules page
Other Maintenance
- Ensure British spelling is used throughout the site (e.g. colour, not color)
- Ensure layouts are standardized for each type (e.g. all game pages look similar)
- Standardize titles (including capitalization)
- Get community feedback on items as pages vs. compiled lists on top-level pages (e.g. one page that lists all wearables instead of creating hundreds of separate item pages)
