Planes:Terminal (ToDo list)

This page is a ToDo List for the whole of Plane Spotting World. It is intended to be used for tasks related to the maintenance, administration and development of the Wiki as a whole.

This ToDo list is NOT intended for listing changes needed to specific article pages, user pages or Workforce pages (etc). For these, either enter a suitable comment on the related Talk Page, or apply one of the Category:Attention needed templates templates to highlight the problem.

• Enter new tasks in the appropriate subsection, or create new subsections as appropriate
• Some of the tasks will require sysop priveliges to complete, these should be marked [ADMIN].
• Completed tasks should be moved to the 'Completed Tasks' section at the end, and dated. (At some stage in the future, we'll have to work out an archiving/clean-up procedure!)
• Admins are requested to add this page to their watchlist, to be able to take action as necessary.
• Large/complex tasks should be identified in the 'Active Tasks' section while being worked on; smaller tasks may be moved directly from 'Required' to 'Completed', if there is no liklihood of conflicts.

Required Tasks

Tasks that have been identified, but not yet started.

ToDo list

Continue the re-organisation and correct categorisation of events, using the correct template if required.

This section should be expanded in due course.

Administration

• Page protection [ADMIN]
  • Rationalise the protection templates, and ensure all pages use the correct templates
    (see {{sprotected2}}, {{protected template}}, {{pp-template}} etc)
  • Check that all templates calling protection templates are actually protected!
  • Check that all protected/semi-protected pages have a suitable template!

Categories

• Create missing categories (see Special:Wantedcategories) and link into the category tree, or, edit each article linking to an "out of scope" category and delete the category from the article.
• Category tree required for:

  Following added as preparation for a general 'under construction' template

  Also see WP cat: Under-construction templates and roadworks sign

  • Template:LGPL (which uses {{GNU-Layout}} (which is uncatted, along with {{PD-Layout}} + {{CC-Layout}})) Also make consistent with {{GFDL}} (and related) which is catted but does NOT use {{GNU-Layout}}.
  • Image:Crystal package settings.png

Category required

• All the Main Page stuff to Template:Cat

Templates

• Check all pages calling {{/doc}}:
  1. Convert to {{template doc}} or {{documentation, template}} (new WP move...)
  2. Fetch doc page from WP
• Check for templates using {{template doc page transcluded}} and {{template doc page viewed directly}} -- should be able to replace with {{template doc page}} (but try it first!)

Wiki Development
