Wiki TODO
Look for "Good first task →" if you want some simple ones
Newish Content
- Good first task → Take pictures
- Improve wording on pages in Category:Landing Page is intended as pages for non-i3 people to show up at, we should put extra focus on putting good words there.
- Make FAQ a landing page once we burn it down and rebuild it.
- Delete all the existing answers and possibly some of the questions
- Reconsider what Qs are actually FA
- Make FAQ a landing page once we burn it down and rebuild it.
Missing Equipment- Make i3 page on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/i3Detroit
- Use In the Media for sources
- Started: wikipedia:User:Mtfurlan/sandbox/i3Detroit
- Please just edit this if you can improve it
- Update the links on https://www.i3detroit.org/wiki/Financial with the reports, found in each month's board meeting.
- Could this be automated by adding some kind of tag to uploaded financial documents?
- Yes, put the tag [[Caregory:Financial Reports]], in the page somewhere (preferably at the bottom) and it will show up on the category's page.
- Update https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/I3Detroit
- Combine HOWTO Bring A Proposal to the Board and HOWTO Propose rule/policy/procedure changes
- Make or revise guide to editing your user page (probably in Template:Member_Information)
- Define HOWTO Create a SIG ("researching process" for 10 years now)
Misc
- Add some "good first task" tasks to this list, for new editors to get their feet wet.
- Verify the Financial category has been created then go through all the Board Minutes and find the financial reports and make sure they all have the [[Category: Financial]] tag in the page (preferably at the bottom).
- add Extension:UrlGetParameters so we can have a printEquipment?page=whatever that just has the label on it
- replace the slack integration with https://github.com/kulttuuri/SlackNotifications
- make wiki role for secretary that can edit bylaws and standing rules
- Template:MeetingActionProposalSummary doesn't work for action items with no PoC
- many ask queries want to ask for "this template" but ask for random property on it
- can we do named objects or something?
- example: Minutes:Meeting_Minutes_20241105#Sandblasters_without_a_zone
- Template:Equipment calendar has two fields, reservation adddress and calendar url, but calendar url is just a urlencoded address plus static link, try https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Urlencoding
Maintenance
- Good first task → Go through In_the_Media for broken links, find content on archive.org (or archive it if it's still up and not in archive.org) and link to the archive.org version instead
- Special:ProcessingErrorList
- Go through Category:Candidates for deletion
- Go through Category:Pages Needing Updates
- Go through Category:Pages with broken file links
- Go through Special:DoubleRedirects
- Both Category:Glass Zone and Category:Ceramics Zone need many help
- Good first task → Go through Category:Fundraising_Meeting_Minutes and remove all the ones that were never used
Minutes status stuff
If anything shows up here that isn't in the future or very recent, it's probably a mistake in the Template:MinutesHeader call, likely someone didn't change it from agenda to complete
- If it's a board meeting, check that it was approved at a future board meeting and if it wasn't bring it up with the board
- If it's a member meeting and it looks good, just mark it complete if it looks like a good summary
Board Meeting Minutes 20230221, Fundraising Committee Meeting Minutes 20200804, Meeting Minutes 20201103, Meeting Minutes 20211005, Meeting Minutes 20211207, Meeting Minutes 20230704, Meeting Minutes 20251125
Reorganizing
- Go through all the ToDo pages, and move any todos that should be on equipment instead of the general zone to that equipment
- Go through all the ToDo pages, and standardize the todo format on equipment pages
- Go through all the Category:HOWTO pages and move tool howto content onto the tool pages themselves; those are not todos
- Fix Category:Proposals
- Add tagged proposals to the category?
- Hunt down old proposals and properly tag them
- Give anyone who appears in a magic table an infobox
- Delete Template:MinutesNotice, after editing all of the minutes that use it to use Template:MinutesHeader instead: Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:MinutesNotice
Semantifying
- EAP: Reformat all dates to be yyyy-mm-dd
- EAP: sorttable/sorting order on transcluded queries - probably the user table generation
- EAP: make user tables and trainer tables have prettylinks
- EAP: add comment on authorized users table that ZCs should email wiki@ if they can't edit
- Alternatively, make it unrestricted until someone goes dumb and tries to add themselves without actually getting authorized first
- EAP: Figure out how to add second trainer to lasers
- Tried to make the trainer field parallel to the owners field, but it isn't working. It could be because the trainers field is in a multiple-instance field. Also, when formatting for display, the owners field uses an arraymap, but since the trainers property is a subobject, everything is weird. I don't remember how to call an arraymap within a subobject declaration, or even if it can be done. Everything is confusing and future jamie should take pity on this jamie and not be mad at her :-(
- Meeting minutes: Use template subclusion to auto-populate with old business, previous action items, current space projects, even zones and sigs maybe
- See if wikibot can help with this
- Make ToDos editable with forms
- Learn cargo and see if it's worth rewriting all the SMW stuff in a more database-like format
- Talk pages would be more useful if they indicated LOUDLY that they exist, or that they have new content on them, cuz on our wiki they're so rare most of us forget to look for 'em
Fixing broken things
- Historical pages shouldn't add Photograph Needed pages
serverside stuff
- commit config
- fix plugins git stuff
