Xenharmonic Wiki:Things to do
Hello there! This page is a place for various projects and minute things to do on this wiki. Please be welcome to help with any of them you like!
If you think something essential was forgotten and should be here, don’t be shy to add a new section here! If you don’t know if a project would be interesting to others, write at the talk page and let’s decide it together.
When the technical help is needed, please aid volunteers with a tool or two for being sure the details are easy to make right. For example, a template, a converter etc..
See also the general Conventions. See various Category:Todo subcategories too.
Details to fill out in articles
- Interval pages like 3/2
- <Please write what may still be desired>
- <Other kinds of pages>
Archiving outdated discussions
Discussion pages tend to become confusing over time. The sections at the beginning are often long since finished. This tendency is easy to observe, but hardly anyone knows how to archive outdated articles.
We probably need some templates to support archiving. Moving old sections to subpage(s) is not as hard, but a bit of automatic decoration/guidance/navigation would help people to do this.
Automated archiving would be nice, but not essential in the first place.
Template:Stub
I hope that would be found useful to automatically categorize pages as needing attention (maybe even different kinds of attention?), as well as marking the places needing elaboration. For example, right on this page until it’s “production ready” ;-) I’ll investigate later if I’m up to the task to desigh a nice-looking template but if you know how to do it easily, please feel free to! --Arseniiv (talk) 17:43, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
Before thinking about an appropriate Template:Stub, I think Category:Todo is worth a look, as well as its sub categories, these category developed out of wikispaces tags and are maybe more specific then just stub. --Xenwolf (talk) 18:24, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
Oh, this is a treasure! But a visual rectangular reminder may still be useful? Let it be tunable to include the subcategory of Todo one wants to apply. How do you think? I’ll experiment with that in a subspace. --Arseniiv (talk) 18:53, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
The template with an example of how it looks: User:Arseniiv/TodoTest. It seems to apply the category correctly. Maybe that can find some use still, but if not, no problem. --Arseniiv (talk) 19:51, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
