Priority:

• 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.

• 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.

Split the accessory list into slot subsections. Adjust template to not include the slot column accordingly.

• Finish the acquisition template (User:HexZyle/Template:RecipeLocation and rename to ItemType/Acquisition), and implement them.

To do:

• Work on List of Alchemy Stations and check through each individual alchemy machine page for consistencies.

• Infobox project: Overhaul mission pages, create nonexistent mission pages, include stuff from exploration and map projects

forum discussion

• Spruce up Template:AreaInfo infobox and area pages

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.

• Improve format and wording Clockwork Terminal and Rescue Camp page.

• Make image tags consistent.

• 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.

• Finish organizing color theme categories/category tags on pages.

• Make gallery mimic templates have more similar inputs, documentation for them.

• Gallery for prize box pages, featuring the special stuff in bulk instead of individually/wayward (not important)

• Make Confetti page betterer. This includes table format and animations.

• Bother Icytea about icons for Gun Pup Helm, Node Slime, and a few others.

• 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

• 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

• Add 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.

• 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.

• Make token page into list format

• 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.

• Fix up recipe template system. Be sure to include crafting location, using the alchemy machine icons.

• Make a page: "Alchemy Path" that describes the crafting tendencies and whatnot

• Shroud of the Apocrea: improve Lost Soul pictures, when the event comes again

• Lots of other things I didn't keep track of in here until I started keeping track of things in here.

Done: 27 February 2015

• Fix informative text area of Accessory page

Done: 01 March 2015

• Fix switch for category regarding "obsolete" in-game official stuff vs. "retired" guilds. Or just make retired guilds obsolete? idk. Must decide later. Decided to go with switch.

Done: 03 March 2015

• Alchemy Paths update (Thanks Skepticraven for making template)

Done: 11 March 2015

• Make a single plug-n-chug template for linking SE and another for linking Color themes (instead of one template per SE and one template per Theme)...Maybe even a single category linking template for all these aesthetic things. switchy switchy - nah.

Done: 12 March 2015

• Add date of release information to accessory lists. This should aid in clarity - what should users expect? New players should get an idea right away about how/when things are put into the game...

Done: 20 March 2015

• Notes column of Costume page (make it like accessory page)

Done: 23 March 2015 (finally)

• Tweak weaponinfo infobox template to link to status through ability images as well as register for "weapons that can inflict BLAH status" categories? Could easily be done with one input and a few switches.

Done: 24 March 2015 (not fully implemented on individual pages)

• add infobox screenshots to the little tooltip icon popup "whoops" thing

Done: 27 March 2015

Done: 14 May 2015

Done: 02 June 2015

Done: 25 June 2015

• Overhaul Exploration

Done: 10 August 2015 (format implemented)

• Overhaul and update horribly out of date material page and individual material pages

Done: Late August 2015/Early September 2015, editors are still validating recipes. Forum discussion.

• Fix up and implement a decent Template:About.

Done: well, made the coding and documentation better 29 August 2015. Implementation is gradual and done only if needed.

• Finish "lost soul disambiguation" project. Update dialogues, Use the NPC list template instead of bullets.

Done: 03 September 2015 (a few images could be better, though. Can't get until next event)

• rename Template:Area to Template:AreaInfo

Done: 08 September 2015

• Improve the Artifact and The Artifact pages regarding content and wiki-wide semi-disambiguation issues.

Done: 11 September 2015

• Fix map names for SW and GA (my bad)

Done: 15 September 2015

• Fix missions which have a "!" in their name (as per discussion).

Done: 12 October 2015

• Make Template:DoRSource and add it to relevant templates, since dates are dates and they're not going to change and they show up on multiple pages. Explain exceptions such as 01 October 2014 here.

Done: 12 October 2015

• Phase out Template:Eventexpired, as per discussion.

Done: 12 October 2015

Done: 27 October 2015

• Fix steam acquisition wording around the wiki where relevant, link to Unpacking on Steam FAQ page

Done: 07 November 2015

• Fix Prismatic Aspect information on individual accessory pages, using {{Prismatic Aspect}}

Done: 08 November 2015. Thanks to User:Snarbylord for mass implementation on accessory pages.

• Fix redundant wording for accessory pages regarding DoR data.

Done: 08 November 2015.

• Tweak acc lists on individual acc pages so that recolors are always on bottom.

Reason: not worth editor time, people can just learn that the lists are hiccupped with recolors when it comes to DoR, or future editors can "fix" this OCD issue.

• 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.
