==High Priority Articles to Create and Flesh Out==
===Tasks organization===
Articles that need to be created are usefully divided by differing domains of knowledge and competence. Persons with a more generic, comparative background in religious studies or people with a general background in editing and writing will likely find the articles categorized under the "Generic" section to be ones they can most productively engage with. Persons with a background in traditional Islamic studies, whether from a taqlid- or ijtihad-oriented perspective, and with and an interest in Islamic scripture will likely prefer articles categorized as being "Of traditional interest". Lastly, persons studied in the historical-critical approaches to Islamic history, primarily expounded in Western scholarship, will likely prefer articles categorized as being "Of historical-critical interest".


A number of the articles bellow may exist only in skeleton-format (that is, having been created and divided into sections while lacking in substantial content) and are a priority in terms of needing to be fully fleshed-out.
Tasks are broken down into five categories: articles in need of creation, articles in need of total rewrite, articles in need of fleshing out, articles in need of smaller revisions or additions, and wiki house-keeping and quality of life tasks. The criteria for inclusion in these categories is as follows:


===Generic===
*'''Creation''' — these are articles which do not exist in any form on the wiki
*'''Total rewrite''' — these articles exist but are either not in encyclopedic form or do not meet the standards of the wiki on content and POV; after the wiki is fully renovated, this category should cease to be necessary
*'''Fleshing out''' — these are articles which are either stubs or skeletons, and need more content to be added
*'''Smaller revisions''' — articles which need portions moved, added, changed, or deleted
*'''Sources for additional content''' — links to articles, websites, forums posts, and blog posts that contain highly useful content which could be incorporated into the wiki, either because the source is by an Islamic authority that the wiki can cite directly or because the source itself contains references to authoritative Islamic sources which can be cited in turn.
*'''Wiki house-keeping''' — these are issues related to the structure and usability of the wiki, such as hub pages and templates
*'''Tasks for articles in other languages''' — grouped separately for practical reasons; the tasks listed here on this page should be limited to articles in those languages for which WikiIslam does not have a dedicated domain (i.e. excluding articles in Arabic, Urdu, Russian, or Bulgarian) - tasks relating to these language domains are best discussed on their own respective sites)

#[[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Wives and Concubines of Muhammad]] - Add all the tabari quotes
#[[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Muhammad and Warmongering]] has more sources concerning the Banu Qurayza than the [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Banu Qurayza]] page.

#[[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Sexuality]] - Add more hadiths relating to sex or sexual issues in this life and afterlife (virgins, sexual power of men in heaven etc).
#[[Qur'an,_Hadith_and_Scholars:Aisha#Fatwas]] - Add additional hadiths linked in Fatwa box [http://www.trinituner.com/v3/forums/viewtopic.php?t=267363&p=6340907].

*[[Aisha and Puberty]] — Add some of the info from [http://forum09.faithfreedom.org/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=10040&p=164685#p164685 here]

#[[:Category:Random Templates]] - expand to include new articles
#[[Justice]] - rewrite. Remove all references to the Bible or Judaism.

Check the net to see how widespread it is.
#[[Islam and Freedom of Speech]] - Keeping the basic article there, create separate pages for the "In the Modern World" sections (e.g. Muhammad Cartoons Controversy, Nigeria and the Miss World Pageant etc.), adding/updating with extra information where needed
#[[Punishments]] - Ideally each type of punishment should have a general article and a QHS page, together with its own hub page. For example the content from [[Amputation]] should be moved to another title, e.g. [[Amputation in Islam]], freeing that page to serve as a "hub". Then the the QHS quotes should be moved to [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Amputation]]. After this is done, the [[Amputation in Islam]] page should be expanded to include information that is gained from the quotes and to respond to the dishonest apologetics etc.
#[[Adult Suckling]] - Completely rewrite. misses out some stuff (workplace, 5 times etc), see :[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rada_%28fiqh%29#Al-Azhar_fatwa_controversy] and research other sites too.

#Fill the tables and add references in [[WikiIslam:Sandbox/Diversity_in_Islam]] about controversial teachings common in most Islamic sects.
#[[Ahmadiyya]] books like [https://web.archive.org/web/20170227185050/https://www.alislam.org/library/books/True-Love-for-the-HolyProphet.pdf this book] contain factual errors, ad hominem arguments on Meccans, false/fabricated hadiths, and possibly false verses. review them all.

==Create Content==
===Qur'an, Hadith, and Scholars===


#[[WikiIslam:Sandbox/Pre-Islamic Arabia]] - Arab history before Islam, what Islam changed.
*[[Talk:Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars]] — Add quotes to relevant pages and/or create new QHS pages
#[[Ali]] - Expand the article on Ali, especially looking at the violence he engaged in.
#[[Sana Manuscript]] - Expand the article on the Sanaa manuscript fragments.
#[[Tawheed]], there is already a page [[Monotheism]], but they are not synonymous. In Tawheed, god is the only authority, therefore democracy is haram, because in democracy the "haakimyya" (authority) belongs to the people and not to god. And stuff like that... basically everything that is not Islam is shirk and against tawheed. The vast majority of Islamic Scholars > Muhammad al Maqdisi, Maududi.
#Muhammad's reputation - create article - before Islam he was known as trustworthy according to Muslim sources, but we don't have non-muslim sources. Sirat Rasul Allah contains other absurd stories, obvious myths, that try to prove Muhammad is legit. "Ameen" means trustworthy, but it could be just a name, just like his mom was named Amina.
#Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Dhul-Qarnayn - create page - see: [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Alexander_the_Great] & [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alexander_the_Great_in_the_Quran&oldid=538890671]

#[[Beheadings in Historic and Contemporary Islam]] - Create article in tabular format like [[List of Killings Ordered or Supported by Muhammad|list of Killings]] but only mention incidents in which beheadings were done under the orders of Muhammad and by his historic and modern followers. Compile all historic incidents of beheadings during Muhammad's time, after his death (caliphs and emperors for example). Also summarize incidents of beheadings that have appeared in the Media in the modern world. Examples of historic incidents (see List of Killings for any information): (1) Ibn Hisham, Ibn Ishaq, Alfred Guillaume (translator), The life of Muhammad: a translation of Isḥāq’s Sīrat rasūl Allāh, pp. 755-756. Footnote says: The apostle ordered Uthman to cut his head off. (this incident is about the death of Al-Harith) (2) [[Banu Qurayza]]. A lot of sources will need to be scanned.


==Evaluation==
*[[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Muhammads Wives and Concubines|Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Wives and Concubines of Muhammad]] — Add all the tabari quotes


#[[Raisins or Virgins|Raisins or Virgins?]] - needs its own page to review Luxenburg's argument. Copy/paste relevant verses, translations of the relevant words with commentaries, quote all notable people who have used the incorrect translation ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ90uJqPBBE Irshad Manji], etc). Repeat info from 72 virgins as needed.
*[[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Muhammad and Warmongering]] — has more sources concerning the Banu Qurayza than the [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Banu Qurayza]] page. The QHS page for Banu Qurayza should be the page that contains all available sources concerning them, while the sub-section in "Muhammad the Warmonger" should only be a summary of sources with the "main article" template added.


==Multi-Article Tasks==
*[[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Sexuality]] — Add more hadiths relating to sex or sexual issues in this life and afterlife (virgins, sexual power of men in heaven etc).


*Hadith exporing project: We will collect all the hadiths that exist which we can collect and gain access to and start going through them to find whatever is useful for the [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars|QHS]] page series. Likely a lot many hadiths will be found and new pages can be created for new categories if needed.
*[[Qur'an,_Hadith_and_Scholars:Aisha#Fatwas]] — Add additional hadiths linked in Fatwa box [http://www.trinituner.com/v3/forums/viewtopic.php?t=267363&p=6340907]. So "See 12, 13, 14" on page ... should all be added on the page. Also add additional thighing evidence from [http://www.faithfreedom.org/articles/muhammad-thighied-aish/] - fatwa 41409
*For all translations, include existing Russian translations in the "See also section" and remove the text "For additional languages see the section at the left". This way all languages are present in one location. RU wiki links (such as <nowiki>[[ru:</nowiki>72 девственницы]]) can stay as they are so there's an additional RU link on the left.


==Templates==
*[http://www.faithfreedom.org/?p=331 Attitudes of the Imams and leaders] — big collection of quotes. Find sources then add the suitable quotes to [[QHS]]. Avoid unimportant leaders of small (usually Western) mosques and obscure 'extremists' such as Anjem Choudary, Abu Hamza or Omar Bakri.
*Add from https://archive.wikiislam.net/wiki/Qur%27an,_Hadith_and_Scholars:Offensive_Fighting_Mandated to [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Offensive Jihad]]


*[[Template:External link]] - check for extra commas during certain parameter conditions (for example if only author is used, or if author and date is used)
*[[WikiIslam:Sandbox/Temporary Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars page]] — has many interesting links to Arabic quotes by scholars. Theses need to be translated and inserted in the [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars]] pages.


==Routine Tasks==
===Miscellaneous===
These are on-going tasks that have to be done periodically.
*Check if any articles are present in this category, which has some sub-categories: [[:Category:Articles needing attention]]
*[[:Category:Article Tasks]]: Specific tasks for certain articles
*{{plainlink|1={{SERVER}}{{SCRIPTPATH}}/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=Sandbox&namespace=4&stripprefix=1 Sandbox Pages}}
*[[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars - Temporary page]] - categorize any hadiths present on this page
*{{plainlink|1={{SERVER}}{{SCRIPTPATH}}/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=Sandbox&namespace=4&stripprefix=1 All Sandbox pages}} - check for incomplete content that can be integrated into main content


Other periodic tasks:
*[[Zamzam Well]] — add info about adapted the story from the Bible wit errors, review [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCAn9gCQHOY this video]


*Checking [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] and reverting vandalism and removing spam (usually not frequent)
*[[Justice]] — rewrite. Remove all references to the Bible or Judaism.
*Archiving external links. If they are not active, you may need to retrieve an archived version from [http://www.archive.org/index.php The Wayback Machine] or find an alternative.


===Cleanup===
*[[Amputation in Islam]] — rewrite. Remove all qhs quotes and make separate sections covering all countries that do amputations.


*Quran/Qur'an inconsistency. Use the proper spelling, Qur'an.
*[[Sahih Bukhari]] — add what people said about bukhari and history of editing this book. watch [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFi_UgEo8DM this]
*Check external links: A program called [http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html Xenu] exists which can automatically check external links on the whole website. View this short [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfMq4lQnCoc 30 second video] to see how it works. It can be used to scan only one page, or the whole WikiIslam website. URL patterns can be excluded or included. It will show which URL's are not working and it will also show the pages where the broken URLs were found.
**Tips for using Xenu:
***To scan only a certain page on your site and stop Xenu from scanning all the pages on your site, exclude these two URLs: http://wikiislam.net, and http://www.wikiislam.net
***Under View, Click "Show only broken URL's"
***Report: You can click "Yes" at the end when it asks to generate a report. The report may or may not be useful. If you clicked No, it can also be accessed in the menu 'File -> Report'
***For each broken URL, right click and choose "Copy URL" and then "Open in Browser".
***Verify and delete/replace links: Reported broken links should be manually verified for many reasons:
****Sometimes the website has the content but has a new page. If its a 404 (not found), check the root of the website (visit www.mywebsite.com, instead of mywebsite.com/broken_article.htm) to see if the website is still working. If yes do a Google search to find the content. Use site summaries or content to find the page. If its not found, it may have been deleted.
****Sometimes a website may be blocking Xenu (thinking its some kind of spam bot) and Xenu will report it as 'blocked' or similar. Manually verifying the link will tell you if the link actually works or not.
***If you are scanning multiple pages on the site or the whole website (our website, not external sites), you can see where the broken URL appears by right clicking on the broken URL and choosing 'Properties'. The last entry for the URL will show you the page where the broken URL was found.
***It is possible that the DDOS protection for Wikiislam may block Xenu. If that happens, wait for some time and adjust the concurrent URL's to be only 1 or 2 and see if you can make other adjustments to slow down the scanning.


====System Generated Reports====
==Sources for additional content==
These system generated are helpful in finding some routine cleanup/formatting tasks:
links to articles, websites, forums posts, and blog posts that contain highly useful content which could be incorporated into the wiki, either because the source is by an Islamic authority that the wiki can cite directly or because the source itself contains references to authoritative Islamic sources which can be cited in turn.


*Broken Pages/redirects/image links:
*[https://muslimskeptic.com/2021/07/01/human-evolution-islam-david-jalajel-refutation/#post-6707-_Toc76027348 Is Human Evolution Compatible with Islam?] (July 1, 2021) — article by orthodox Muslim researcher that heavily references classical, authoritative Islamic authorities/texts which can be cited in a breakdown of the traditional Islamic view on evolution
**[[Special:WantedPages]] - pages that have red links. In other words, these may be broken links. Some can be ignored (for example links in templates imported from Wikipedia)
*<nowiki>https://miningthemadness.wordpress.com/2017/08/06/can-islamic-slavery-be-defended/</nowiki> This is an excellent article containing numerous academic references on various aspects of slavery in Islamic Jurisprudence. We don't currently (as at October 2021) have a page on Slavery in Islamic Law, but this information could be a starting point. We have the QHS Slavery page, but academic quotes about jurisprudence probably wouldn't fit well in a Scholars section there which is meant for quotes from primary sources like tafsirs and fiqh manuals.
**[[Special:BrokenRedirects|Broken Redirects]] - these are usually never found but check once in a while
**[[Special:WantedFiles| Missing Image files]] - see if you can find missing images for these files. Some files may not be needed to be uploaded (for example some wikipedia images from wikipedia templates)


*[[Special:LonelyPages|Orphaned pages]] - these pages are not linked from anywhere and should be linked from relevant existing articles.
==House-keeping==
*[[Special:DeadendPages|Dead end pages]] - pages that dont link to anything on the wiki. Relevant links according to article content should be introduced in these pages.
These are issues related to the structure and usability of the wiki, such as hub pages and templates
*[[Special:ShortPages|Short Pages]] - Pages that have small amount of content. Check into the possibility of adding content or merging into other articles or deleting the pages if they're not necessary
*[[Special:LongPages|Long Pages]] - this lists pages that are very long. Look into the possibility of splitting these pages into sub-pages and dividing them with the use of temnplates to link them up together.
*[[Special:UnusedTemplates|Unused Templates]] - some of these can be deleted
*[[Special:NewPages|New Pages]] - new pages that have been created recently. Check these for formatting issues and any other improvements (content/aesthetics/interlinking/categories).
*[[Special:UncategorizedPages|Uncategorized pages]] - see if you can add any existing/new categories to these pages


See ''Maintenance reports'' section in [[Special:SpecialPages|Special Pages]] for other Maintenance related reports

Revision as of 14:05, 2 October 2021

Shortcut:
WIT

This page lists tasks that need to be done. If you have any questions about a certain task, please ask the relevant talk page. If you fail to receive a helpful response, comment on an editors talk page directly or, if necessary, contact us.

Inclusion of an article, project or concept on this page does not necessarily mean that it is acceptable for the site. Content still has to be evaluated for suitability on the site. During evaluation content may be partially or wholly edited or removed.

Tasks organization

Tasks are broken down into five categories: articles in need of creation, articles in need of total rewrite, articles in need of fleshing out, articles in need of smaller revisions or additions, and wiki house-keeping and quality of life tasks. The criteria for inclusion in these categories is as follows:

  • Creation — these are articles which do not exist in any form on the wiki
  • Total rewrite — these articles exist but are either not in encyclopedic form or do not meet the standards of the wiki on content and POV; after the wiki is fully renovated, this category should cease to be necessary
  • Fleshing out — these are articles which are either stubs or skeletons, and need more content to be added
  • Smaller revisions — articles which need portions moved, added, changed, or deleted
  • Sources for additional content — links to articles, websites, forums posts, and blog posts that contain highly useful content which could be incorporated into the wiki, either because the source is by an Islamic authority that the wiki can cite directly or because the source itself contains references to authoritative Islamic sources which can be cited in turn.
  • Wiki house-keeping — these are issues related to the structure and usability of the wiki, such as hub pages and templates
  • Tasks for articles in other languages — grouped separately for practical reasons; the tasks listed here on this page should be limited to articles in those languages for which WikiIslam does not have a dedicated domain (i.e. excluding articles in Arabic, Urdu, Russian, or Bulgarian) - tasks relating to these language domains are best discussed on their own respective sites)

Creation

There are articles which the Wiki currently lacks, and which should be created.

Higher priority

Lower priority

Total rewrite

These articles exist but are either not in encyclopedic form or do not meet the standards of the wiki on content and POV; after the wiki is fully renovated, this category should cease to be necessary


Fleshing out

These are articles which are either stubs or skeletons, and need more content to be added

  • Kafir article — The wikiquote article on Kafir has many quotations from the Qur'an. Please copy the verses from the Qur'an and add them to both this and to the QHS page (Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Non-Muslims) in appropriate quantities.
  • Any stub you may encounter, most of the pages on Muhammad's (male) companions are stubs

Smaller revisions

Articles which need portions moved, added, changed, or deleted

Women

  • Add info on marital rape to Rape. e.g. [1]. Gather relevant hadiths or fatwas (wife must have sex or angels will curse her, etc.)
  • Polygamy in Islam — Needs a complete rewrite to adhere to policies and guidelines. Include information from the ScienceDaily article on the talk page.
  • Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Women — A number of the quotes here are obscure. This is not necessary since there are much more authoritative texts available (Qur'an, sahih hadith, etc.,) that make the exact same points. Find these and replace quotes.

Qur'an, Hadith, and Scholars

  • Read through all the Jami` at-Tirmidhi, Sunan an-Nasa'i and Sunan Ibn Majah hadith found here. Add to relevant QHS page and "Revelational Circumstances of the Qur'an" pages.

Miscellaneous

  • Justice — rewrite. Remove all references to the Bible or Judaism.
  • Amputation in Islam — rewrite. Remove all qhs quotes and make separate sections covering all countries that do amputations.
  • Sahih Bukhari — add what people said about bukhari and history of editing this book. watch this

Sources for additional content

links to articles, websites, forums posts, and blog posts that contain highly useful content which could be incorporated into the wiki, either because the source is by an Islamic authority that the wiki can cite directly or because the source itself contains references to authoritative Islamic sources which can be cited in turn.

  • Is Human Evolution Compatible with Islam? (July 1, 2021) — article by orthodox Muslim researcher that heavily references classical, authoritative Islamic authorities/texts which can be cited in a breakdown of the traditional Islamic view on evolution
  • https://miningthemadness.wordpress.com/2017/08/06/can-islamic-slavery-be-defended/ This is an excellent article containing numerous academic references on various aspects of slavery in Islamic Jurisprudence. We don't currently (as at October 2021) have a page on Slavery in Islamic Law, but this information could be a starting point. We have the QHS Slavery page, but academic quotes about jurisprudence probably wouldn't fit well in a Scholars section there which is meant for quotes from primary sources like tafsirs and fiqh manuals.

House-keeping

These are issues related to the structure and usability of the wiki, such as hub pages and templates

  • Template:External link — check for extra commas during certain parameter conditions (for example if only author is used, or if author and date is used)
  • Fix hadith templates
  • Update the Translations page with more info on Urdu and Arabic translation projects

Tasks for articles in other languages

Grouped separately for practical reasons; the tasks listed here on this page should be limited to articles in those languages for which WikiIslam does not have a dedicated domain (i.e. excluding articles in Arabic, Urdu, Russian, or Bulgarian) - tasks relating to these language domains are best discussed on their own respective sites)
