Quick reminders

Ideas

1. Request to close FS#30045?
2. 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 [2]
3. 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
   • ...?
4. Internationalization:
   • 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
5. 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   • Move Template:Out of date to Template:Outdated?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 (Accuracy, Poor writing, Translateme, Out of date, Stub and Expansion could replace it more accurately)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?
   • Template:Announcement (find better name?) to be used for temporary announcements instead of Note?
   • 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?
   • Deprecate Template:Wikipedia and Template:Gentoo? (used sparingly) Remember their translations!
   • Template for linking forum threads in the vein of Pkg, AUR, Grp, Bug...
6. Disk Encryption should be mentioned in the Beginners' Guide
7. Split Common Applications/Games from Common Applications?
8. Merge PKGBUILD Templates with PKGBUILD? See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1127103#p1127103
9. Submit dark CSS skin?
10. Update content of Category:English with links to the most important articles and link it from Main Page
11. 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?
12. Move Daemon to Daemons?
13. Define how much time must pass before a dead link can be deleted since it was marked with linkrot
14. 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
15. See if I can improve Python Package Guidelines a bit
16. See if the short articles in Category:DeveloperWiki can be merged somewhere
17. Merge Community repo candidates somewhere?
18. 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?
19. 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
