==A list of things that need doing==
+
This is a list of things that need doing on the FF wiki.
  
* existing pages need to be grouped or separated as required so that they are inline with the basic structure described by the front page
+
==Things That Always Need Doing==
 +
These tasks are always on the radar of Wiki To-Doers.
 +
* [[:Category:0-Star_Articles|0 star articles]] - This is the category of all zero-star articles: pages that have little or no content. If you need something to do, chances are you'll find something here!
 +
* [[:Category:1-Star_Articles|1 star articles]] - This is the category of all one-star articles: pages with very basic, non-detailed content. This is another good place to find things to do.
 +
* Article Reviewing: See [[:Category:Rated Articles]] for all articles with ratings. Every page on the wiki should have a rating. Making sure ratings line up with the content on the page according to the [[Article Rating Guidelines]].
  
==Even More ToDo==
+
==Pages that need attention==
I'm going to make a new list here, which will hopefully be updated more often.  If one of these items is addressed to your satisfaction (or it looks as if someone else has already), please put <nowiki><s></s></nowiki> <s>strikeout</s> tags around it, so we know it has been dealt with.  Hopefully this section will be more useful and active then what was here beofore.

These pages are in need of rework, more information, or reorganization.
 
 
===Pages that need attention===
 
* [[:Category:0-Star_Articles|0 star articles ]] - This is the category of all zero-star articles: pages that have yet to actually be created. If you need something to do, chances are you'll find something here!
 
* [[What Fortress Forever Is]] - This is like a advertisement for FF, what type of gameplay, what features, what's fun about it, etc.  If someone falls onto the main page and says "WTF is this?" then they find their answer on this page.  ''It's pretty basic as of the time of this writing.''
 
::I'm not sure if I want to classify this as complete. It looks good to me, but I don't want to list it as "complete" yet without other's opinions. --[[User:Hirohito|Hirohito]] 13:19, 8 February 2008 (CST)
 
:::I added a links to the Class and Weapons pages, but that page looks pretty good to me. Might need to change some things to make it match up with the current version, but idk enough to say for sure. --[[User:DrSatan-12955|DrSatan-12955]] 16:23, 22 January 2009 (MST)
 
* <S>All [[:Category:Weapons|Weapons]] pages.  they are ugly and seem to have a fair amount of outdated information.  A new template would be reccomended.</S>
 
:Done. --[[User:Hirohito|Hirohito]] 23:38, 29 January 2008 (CST)
 
* <s>Any class pages where the introduction text is lifted from the TFC page on wikipedia needs updating with an original FF-specific introduction</s>
 
 
* [[Main Menu]] - could be fleshed out some more.

* All Map Guides!  Maybe we could solicit more assistance from forum-members to write some details, strategies for each of the maps (including popular non-official maps).  This is a big area of missing content. Also, the map template needs to be put in a fairly finished state.
 
* [[Troubleshooting]] - Initial information and editing has been done. More information and evaluation of article structure, etc needs to be done now.

===In-game screenies and information gathering===
 
This is a list of screenshots that need to be taken in-game, and also of information that needs to be verified in-game from article pages.  Add anything that you think may be amiss, and maybe someone will have time to get around to checking it out.
 
====Screenies====
 
* <s>Need screenshot of a player (from third person) that is [[:Category:Status_Effects#Immune|Immune]] (with the little white dots).  A dark map (crossover?) might show up better? Dunno.</s> [[:Image:Immune.jpg|Image]] [[User:DrSatan-12955|DrSatan-12955]] 13:53, 14 January 2008 (CST)
 
* <s>A first person screenie of a dead player with a tilted camera. Just for kicks.</s> 4 Pics: [[:Image:Corpse_sniper-1-.JPG|Sniper-1-]] / [[:Image:Corpse_sniper-2-.JPG|Sniper-2-]] / [[:Image:Corpse_scout.JPG|Scout]] / [[:Image:Corpse_solly.JPG|Solly]]

* More? ...
 
 
 
* I was thinking about making  pictures comparing the looks of the TFC (new/old style models), FF and TF2 models and put them in the x Player's Guide to FF. Good idea? --[[User:Hirohito|Hirohito]] 17:50, 1 January 2008 (CST)
 
* I think we could use an in-game picture for these sections under the [[Status_Effects|Status Effects Page]]
 
<s>[[Status_Effects#Dead|Dead]]</s>, [[Status_Effects#Concussed|Concussed]], and [[Status_Effects#Crippled|Crippled]]
 
:I tried taking a picture of me conced, but the effect doesn't translate well onto a still picture. There are no visual indications of someone being cripped besides their slow speed (which you can't show with a still or animated picture) and the icon on the side of their HUD (which can be easily used to show what being cripped is).  --[[User:Hirohito|Hirohito]] 14:44, 29 January 2008 (CST

====Verification and fact-checking====
 
Do EMP's cause any metal to detonate including these:
 
 
 
Detonates ammunition that is deployed. E.g. Rockets in midair, deployed pipes, nails midflight, IC rockets, tranq bullets and so on.
 
 
 
Also, by nails midflight, does that mean nail nades nails or nailgun nails?
 
 
 
====Other things====
 
<S>* AcidRenix has done a bunch of good video tutorials in this thread: http://www.fortress-forever.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13379. We should incorporate them into the relevant pages on here</S>
 
:Done. --[[User:Hirohito|Hirohito]] 12:32, 30 January 2008 (CST)
 
 
 
===Tutorials and Guides===
 
 
 
We need to add these tutorials from the forums to the wiki. There is already a [[:Category:Tutorials]] page that they can be added to:
 
 
 
====Tutorials====

====Guides====
 
I'm thinking we should either add these as a sub-category to the [[:Category:Tutorials]] page or fit them in elsewhere.

==Stuff that needs reading for next release==
 
* Can somebody take a few pictures of the hud with parts numbered so they can be described on the hud page? Stuff like grenade timers, build timers, status icons, flag icons, kill messages, chat messages, etc. Also one with a radial menu and various other things. We might need a class menu too if there isn't already one here.
 
:I can't take a picture of the class menu in-game. I could do one from XFire, but there'd be a distracting watermark on it. --[[User:Hirohito|Hirohito]] 12:47, 29 January 2008 (CST)

==Thinking ahead==
 
I've made a category for the stuff that'll p[robably appear in 2.1. It's to make it easier for us when the team gives us authorization for us to start putting in 2.1 stuff. Right now the list is pretty short, but as more details come out it'll become larger.

Revision as of 09:37, 12 July 2011

This is a list of things that need doing on the FF wiki.

Things That Always Need Doing

These tasks are always on the radar of Wiki To-Doers.

  • 0 star articles - This is the category of all zero-star articles: pages that have little or no content. If you need something to do, chances are you'll find something here!
  • 1 star articles - This is the category of all one-star articles: pages with very basic, non-detailed content. This is another good place to find things to do.
  • Article Reviewing: See Category:Rated Articles for all articles with ratings. Every page on the wiki should have a rating. Making sure ratings line up with the content on the page according to the Article Rating Guidelines.

Pages that need attention

These pages are in need of rework, more information, or reorganization.

Pages that need reviewing

See Category:Rated Articles for articles that already have a review.

Pages that need to be created

Mostly incomplete links from the Main Page Contents.

  • Setup - A tutorial page for installing and setting up the game. Changing names, using cfg files, links to Player Controls (see below). [i]Update:[/i]Still only a stub.
  • Player Controls - A guide to setting up mouse and keyboard binds, a description of the console and it's purpose.

Add some new ones?

  • Quick Start guide - Quick links an easy instructions for the quickest way to get playing.
  • Mapping Resources - A page of links and tips for getting started mapping. Includes setting up hammer to edit (it was tricky for me).
  • Server guide - A guide to getting a server up and running. Especially by the time the next version is out, this would be nice. Server config variables, compatible admin plugins, necessary files, whatever. I know diddly but if someone does know something? [i]Update[/i] Have one up and I think it's pretty much read for pub view / linking...some stuff in the discussion section that needs review first though. check it out DrSatan-12955 14:01, 24 January 2008 (CST)
  • Community resources? - Pages of clans, leagues, stuff like that. A link to the forum or some web-sites if nothing else maybe.
    • There are clan pages, but no community link. Many of the clans listed have died, since league play as a whole in FF is dead.
