To Do
High Priority
Highest Priority:
- Finish area project, linking arcade/mission together with plug-able Geography Subpages. Should solve the following problems:
- Too many immediate spoilers (a common complaint, but at the same time, users appreciate the information)
- Too much information at once
- Page clutter and minor format issues concerning whitespace for some screen sizes
- List of missions that use each level in each level page (fun trivia, good for farming specifics)
- Easier to update monsters that appear in missions/areas if a bunch of missions use the same level, instead of updating each relevant mission page one at a time with the same information
- Pretty pictures on their own level page = slightly reduced load time
- Mission information is far more restricted to just the mission, vs all the extra fluff/spoiler information = you get what you come for, and no extra baggage
- Implement acquisition templates. (Discussed in forum node 112858).
- Fix (all) vendor lists so they follow the other sortable list template formats (yellow header, blue borders, blue background), and so they're not as repetitive - this would involve a flexible column for items that can be purchased by more than one type of currency (Randolph is such an example, and the Dark Harvest Prize Box for different kinds of candy is as well). There are many wayward vendor list templates out there, it's time to fuse their functions so we don't have all these different templates with white or blue backrounds etc. floating around. Columns should include: Name, Type (costume, usable, etc. - arsenal terminology), flexible Cost column, Notes about circumstance of acquisition such as rank limit in HoH (and for historical points/price changes if relevant).
- Oh my jegus each HoH mission has its own special little gate map names...
- Work on List of Alchemy Stations and check through each individual alchemy machine page for consistencies.
- Improve wording of costume pages regarding redundant/repeated DoR data in notes sections. This data is usually in the sortable table below, unless the item is "unique." For unique items, specify date, as with Power Pistons. The Serene costume armor items are being...problematic.

- Finish organizing color theme categories/category tags on pages.
- Fix the list on the Ticket page to have better icon positioning and linking.
- Fix the format of various location pages, after we reconsider "Garrison" vs. "Haven Garrison" etc. We have decided on "Haven BLAHBLAH," for both future concerns, they're seen in-game too. This involves moving content into redirect pages and redirects.
- Organize all of this so the page doesn't seem like such a mess/repeated - have to look into "area" pages with Denizen lists again, see if they can be organized better. Stuff below large lists is bad for navigational purposes. Perhaps the denizen list should simply be compressed into simple bullets+names+minor role note, as much of this this information fluff that will eventually be entirely covered on individual NPC pages?
- Reword Shadow Lair page to make sense with release 2013-10-16
- Make an actual page for each Shadow Lair
- Clean up NPC list
- Use proper "release" linking
- Add a list/section regarding how each relevant rank mission influences the lab ("Pakrat joins after the player completes blahblah," etc)
- Fix Prismatic Aspect information on individual costume/equipment pages, using {{Prismatic Aspect}}
- Adjust logic for costume taxonomy to be in line with recent merger format (discussed here)
- Simplify the note rows by reducing to a simple "tags" list, so CTRL+F still works. Emphasize Unique. Adjust the list usage guides accordingly.
- Split the costume list into helmet and armor sections. Set information is always on individual pages. Adjust template to not include the slot column accordingly. Remove use of icons, emphasizing the use of the word "unique" FIRST in note row tags.
- Infobox project: Overhaul mission pages, create nonexistent mission pages, include stuff from exploration and map projects
- Spruce up Template:AreaInfo infobox and area pages
- add all associated areas to "levels" section of area infobox. This includes shadow lairs and mission exclusives - these levels are still part of the "area" itself, with each having dynamic potential.
- add soundtrack info to various exploration/geography infoboxes.
- Fix categories to make sense. Areas (worlds might not be appropriate? Category was deleted), Levels, actual Subpages, all under the loose Geography.
- Discuss "geographical phenomenon" vs. "area" vs "world" (talk about how it was deleted in the past) on forums.
- Overhaul monsters (forum discussion)
- Turn Visual Encyclopedia/creature into a sortable "list gallery," showing all the information it currently has in a user-oriented sortable format. Include name, image, class, tier, status, and possibly a narrow notes/keyword column. Currently have a demo in the Sandbox.
- Fix the boss page into a sortable list, each boss is a complex entity with many aspects, therefore each needs their own page, not a tiny section of a list page.
- Improve format and wording for The Core, Hall of Heroes, and Rescue Camp pages. Them maps.
- Make image tags consistent.
- Make an "Accessory/End" template that has "about the list" so the information is at the bottom, certain browsers do not like the showhide tab in relation to redirects and anchors, and implement.
- Somehow merge Danger Mission into List of prestige missions while still being useful and clear.
- Furniture (forum discussion)
- standardize list format - rename templates and make better in general
- standardize page format - "See Also" needs to be the only thing under lists.
- reorganize - don't do pages by group, that's not flexible enough
- Guild Hall
- standardize list format
- Fix trinket infobox and recipe (the heat statement doesn't make sense for trinkets)
- Add history to spiral starter items, when more colors were made available etc.
- Make Confetti animations.
- Fix Sets (consistent file naming for sets) and get pics of kat stuff.
- Fix various set inputs on several costume pages (regarding hyphens especially) so images show up once established+moved/reuploaded (in lists)
- Figure out what a "set" is (vs. collection, family, group)
- Move set info into infobox for combat gear pages.
- Maps
- -Work with HexZyle on this to make epic
- Add sortable "gallery" list to area pages for randomized segements
- NPCs:
- Make a page for each important NPC (has dialogue and/or something else important)
- Make a page for misc NPCs
- Merge pages that seem to need merging (Researcher into Knights etc)
- Add NPC dialogue information to mission pages where relevant
- Replace what links here with Template:NPCList
- Make a master NPC page?
- Overhaul gear infoboxes and categories specifically regarding monster bonuses
- Make token page into list format
- Fix up recipe template system. Be sure to include crafting location, using the alchemy machine icons.
- Fix format regarding DoR in Battle Sprite lists to be consistent with other DoRSource-type information tables.
- Split the accessory list into slot subsections. Adjust template to not include the slot column accordingly.
- This involves splitting the Aura page into individual aura pages. We don't have a giant list of "helmet top" slot accessories, for example. For a long time, there were not many different auras, so I think that's why the page is the way it is atm. But now we have X Leafy Auras, X-Gem Auras, and a bunch of uniques. This should help search and load time as well as be consistent (atm, users have to load ALL the auras to find out about one aura. That's silly).
Low Priority
Low Priority
- Finding out if there is one already, make one if not: Category for "time-sensitive/transient conditions" data pages such as those edited by guilds as well as mission subpages?
- Make gallery mimic templates have more similar inputs, documentation for them.
- Bother Icytea about icons for Gun Pup Helm, Node Slime, and a few others.
- Fix template naming convention for costume recolors to match accessory - not a priority cause redirect is working, but the internal editor tips should be accurate.
- Create an "aesthetic list," involving sortable acc slot columns to reduce confusion regarding built-in accessories or other items. Sometimes they take up the slot, sometimes they don't! "Why" doesn't matter, only whether or not they do. Will include "forms" as well. Perhaps a category system would be better than a sortable list?
- Start listing SD (and AH) sale prices for items where relevant. Use a showhide with bullets by year so prices can easily be compared and referred to without taking up space/distracting from the other info. A master list of all (known) items that have been in sales, with this data, on the Supply Depot Sale page is desired and has been requested by users, and it would be useful.
- Shroud of the Apocrea: improve Lost Soul pictures, when the event comes again
- Make a page: "Alchemy Path" that describes the crafting tendencies and whatnot (merge into category page?)
- Make a page: "Crash Pod" (or as Rhendon calls them, escape pods) disambiguation. Include furniture pod, danger lobby pods, bechamel's pod, all da pods.
- Hubert deserves a page, if only to make miscellaneous slimes jelly. As in envious.
- Fix armor accessory tooltips whenever the opportunity arises
- Make a list of where the "Rain Shower" environment shows up in clockworks. C42...Raving Rabids (always?), A New Threat...A few other missions...
- Gallery for prize box pages, featuring the special stuff in bulk instead of individually/wayward (not important)
- Tweak acc lists on individual acc pages so that recolors are always on bottom. Logic: recolors will tend to always be the most recent things released, and the date order is less disruptive when you don't have a year+ gap near the bottom.
- Make a page: Spiral Uplink, explaining its history and what it is. A news source :).
Done

Scrapped
Scrapped (Decided not to do)
- Add animation (ifexist) to image tags for convenience? Only after we get most/all of these uploaded.
- Reason: bleh!
- Add entire gate map visuals to galleries of mission pages? Would require some splicing. Idk, that might be too much science.
- Reason: just link to the geographical area, only include super special areas encountered exclusively in the mission.
- Start up "monster-themed" categories for people who like to cosplay/collect.
- Going to just mention related costumes on monster pages, and monsters on costume pages+main list. Future editors can make this category if they wish.
- Strategic Map Images
- Reason: we can just link to videos, or put a description next to a screenshot of the area. Strategic Map Images are a lot of work for editors, and they use several semi-official icons at best.
- "Template:Tip-Mouseover-Description"
- Scrapped (added delete tag and removed use of template): 21 September 2015. Reason: Not all users (especially phone) have the convenience of mousehovering.
- Direct linking for prize box pages instead of through redirects so that the back button doesn't go to the top of the item's list page when clicked once (Firefox only issue?) - really the whole wiki needs to be as such, or have navigation adjusted somehow.
- Decided not to do this because it's a lot of work for little gain, and would be very hard to do for all the "little links" around the wiki, not just the big list templates.
