Ideas
- Ask Pierre to publish LocalSettings.php and include/require there the database connection data from another file, or vice versa publish a LocalSettings2.php that will be required in LocalSettings.php, where only the db connection data are stored (this can help hide the real location of the file with the connection data)
- Request to close FS#30045?
- Revise and possibly expand ArchWiki:Contributing
- After that the "ArchWiki Tutorial" link in Main Page could be pointed to ArchWiki:Contributing (and swapped with "Forum Etiquette"?).
- Add some references to Special:SpecialPages tools
- Also reconsider [10]
- Write checklists for the most common operations
- Deleting a page:
- When marking a page for deletion, the content shouldn't be removed (including redirect code)
- A similar checklist is needed when breaking redirects (e.g. when marking them for deletion)
- Check interlanguage backlinks at least on the same wiki (Help:i18n#Finding articles with specific interlanguage links)
- Moving a page
- Creating a page
- Moving a section within an article or to another article
- Deleting content
- Adding a translation
- ...?
- Deleting a page:
- Internationalization:
- Add Serbian and Vietnamese interwiki links?
- ArchWiki Translation Team (Language) pages could be associated with localized Category:Request:Translation (Language) categories
- Templates should be coded so that they are language-neutral, with all their messages coded as {{{msg1|default English message}}}: non-English articles should use meta-templates that simply call the basic template localizing its messages: {{Template|msg1=localized message}}
- An alternative could make use of parser functions (should be installed, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions) in order to recognize the page namespace and sub-namespace and print the correct messages
- Templates:
- The documentation of article status templates requires improvement
- Use Template:Deletion also for sections? (modify the heading)
- Merge Template:Expansion and Template:Stub?
- Template:Split? (as opposed to Template:Merge)
- Move Template:Moveto to Template:Move and Translateme to Translate?
- Move Template:Out of date to Template:Outdated?
- Is Template:Bad translation necessary? (Accuracy, Poor writing, Translateme, Out of date, Stub and Expansion could replace it more accurately)
- Template:Poor formatting? Or Template:Poor style to include also Template:Poor writing?
- Use Template:Error in more templates? Create, translate and use localized versions.
- Move Template:Error to Template:Undefined Parameter?
- Template:Pkg and Template:AUR: add a 2nd optional argument for specifying package version (thus keeping link style)? e.g. pacman<=3.5
Also consider using an optional parameter to disable the exact match flag. - Template with category to keep track of external bug reports?
- Check Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Box_BLUE - Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Note, Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Box_RED - Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Warning, Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Box_GREEN - Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Tip, Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Box_YELLOW
Instead of using queries to get the differences, we could just delete the meta-templates "Box COLOR", making Note, Warning and Tip use Box directly, thus also preventing the Box COLOR templates to be used inappropriately
Template:Box YELLOW should probably just be deleted, since 1) it's not coherent with the other 3 colors (#[D8]{6}|#[FA]{6} vs #[DB]{6}|#[FD]{6}) and 2) still for coherence, we'd also need the red+blue and green+blue versions - Do we need Template:FAQ or can we just always use normal sections like in FAQ?
- Same thing for Template:News
- Deprecate Template:Note and Template:Tip? Normal text formatting like bold and italic could be used to replace them
- Template:Announcement (find better name?) to be used for _temporary_ announcements instead of Note?
- Deprecate Template:Wikipedia and Template:Gentoo? (used sparingly) Remember their translations!
- Template for linking forum threads in the vein of Pkg, AUR, Grp, Bug...
- Rename Table of Contents to Category Tree?
- Disk Encryption should be mentioned in the Beginners' Guide
- Split Common Applications/Games from Common Applications?
- Merge PKGBUILD Templates with PKGBUILD? See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1127103#p1127103
- Submit dark CSS skin?
- Update content of Category:English with links to the most important articles and link it from Main Page
- Do we really need localized Sandboxes? Sandbox (Português) Caixa de Areia (note it's categorized also under Category:Português)
- Clean up the various subpages of Sandbox?
- Move Daemon to Daemons?
- Define how much time must pass before a dead link can be deleted since it was marked with linkrot
- Remember there are also MediaWiki:Sidebar, MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Common.js, MediaWiki:Sitenotice, MediaWiki:Anonnotice, MediaWiki:Editnotice, MediaWiki:Talkpagetext, MediaWiki:Editinginterface, MediaWiki:Newarticletext, see mw:Manual:Interface/Sitenotice, mw:Help:Edit notice
- See if I can improve Python Package Guidelines a bit
- See if the short articles in Category:DeveloperWiki can be merged somewhere
- Merge Community repo candidates somewhere?
- Decide what to do with Community cleanup (merge with DeveloperWiki:Community_Repo_Cleanup?), Christmas Cleanup (merge with DeveloperWiki:Community_Repo_Cleanup?), Multilib Cleanup (merge with DeveloperWiki:Community_Repo_Cleanup?), Rebuilds:Libnl3, Berlios Packages, ArchHosting
See Talk:Christmas Cleanup
Make a proper DeveloperWiki namespace? - Create an ArchWiki:Statistics page?
- move there ArchWiki:Maintenance Team#Statistics?
- top contributors? (all time, last 30 days, all time edits/day (considers registration date)) query1, query2 -- do not include special users (admins, maintainers, bots) or put them in a separate list
- forum thread
- Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits
- think well about the possible negative effects (but also about the positive ones)
- the page could be easily kept up to date with Wiki Monkey
