==Expansion/Improvement==
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.


===High priority===
===Tasks organization===
# [[Islam and Violence]] - Core article following the structure of other core articles. To include terrorism and other violence in Islam. Link related articles like other core articles.


===Quran===
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:
# Rewrite the sparse commentary on [[Scientific errors in the Qur'an]], getting rid of the poor English, poor attempts at humor and generally unprofessional and arrogant approach
# Rewrite and expand [[Good stuff in the Quran]] (removing it from the Humor category) or open a new article titled [[Good Teachings in the Quran?]], refuting all of the "positives". E.g. "Give charity" is limited to [[Zakat|Muslims only]], "Be good to family" is limited to [[Friendship of non-Muslims|Muslim family members]], "Don't be racist" Muhammad refers to blacks as [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Muhammad the Racist|Raisin heads]], etc.
# Add more references for the statements made in [[Diacritical Marks of the Qur'an]].
# Need a "Responses to Apologetics" section for [[Qur'an and Semen Production (Qur'an 86:7)]] [http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1328158258/17] (see bottom)


===Jihad and Violence===
*'''Creation''' — these are articles which do not exist in any form on the wiki
# [[The Story of Umm Qirfa]]: needs additional references from the original sources used in the comic. Contact arabic language people and ask them to translate the arabic text used in the comic strip. Deal with this rebuttal [http://www.islamicsearchcenter.com/archive/2010/01/the-story-of-killing-of-umm-qirfa-the-facts-and-the-lies/] in a "Responses to Apologetics" section.
*'''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
# [[Armenian Genocide]]
*'''Fleshing out''' — these are articles which are either stubs or skeletons, and need more content to be added
# [[Muhammad's Raids and Battles]]
*'''Smaller revisions''' — articles which need portions moved, added, changed, or deleted
# [[The Meaning of Qatal]] - Possible rewrite to include more information. Useful links: [{{Reference archive|1=http://markdurie.blogspot.com/2011/04/on-difficulty-of-reading-quran-part-b.html|2=2011-07-26}}], [http://www.islammonitor.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4408:islams-text-is-sugar-coated-in-translation&catid=180&Itemid=18].  
*'''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.
# Split [[Images_of_Jihad_%28Indonesia%29]] and other image pages into sub-pages so it loads only 10-15 images per page (better server load)
*'''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)


===Women's Rights and Issues===
==Creation==
# [[List of Wives and Concubines of Muhammad]] - use primary sources for references (hadith etc), and if possible look for other wives as well in all available sources including the ones cited for this article. Look for any other articles mentioning the wives. Double check the list for accuracy and see if we missed any names. We want all possible historical records for these wives that support that they were his wives.
# Add additional thighing evidence from [http://www.faithfreedom.org/articles/muhammad-thighied-aish/] - fatwa 41409
# Add info on marital rape to [[Rape]]. e.g. [http://www.thememriblog.org/turkey/blog_personal/en/3861.htm]. Gather relevant hadiths or fatwas (wife must have sex or angels will curse her, etc)
# [[Khadijah]] - Rewrite and expand. Include the fact that Muslims often try to use her high social standing as "proof" that women are equal in Islam. What they neglect to explain is that she was a "great businesswoman and independent woman"[http://www.wikiislam.net/w/index.php?title=Women_are_Deficient_in_Intelligence&diff=prev&oldid=67738] BEFORE Islam (during the so-called "Period of Ignorance- Jahiliyah) and you cannot find any examples of successful women AFTER Islam during Muhammad's lifetime. Useful links: [{{Reference archive|1=http://www.faithfreedom.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=47335|2=2012-08-22}}]
# [[Polygamy in Islam]] - Needs a complete rewrite to adhere to our policies and guidelines. Include information from the ScienceDaily article on the [[Talk:Polygamy in Islam‎|talk page]]
# Add any possible victims from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honour_killing#Victims] to : [[Honor Related Violence]]
# Add stuff from [[Talk:Rape in Islam]] to [[Rape in Islam]], for the meaning of 'right hand'.
# Expand [[Adultery is permitted in Islam]] with any relevant hadiths/info from [http://www.faithfreedom.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=54053 this] post.
# [[Aisha and Puberty]] - Add some of the info from [http://forum09.faithfreedom.org/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=10040&p=164685#p164685 here]
# [[Muhammad's Companions and Pedophilia]] - add section about Fatima's marriage to Ali, aged 9-11


===Quran, Hadith and Scholars===
There are articles which the Wiki currently lacks, and which should be created.
# [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Islamic Silliness]] - Possible additions [http://forum09.faithfreedom.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=12779]
# [[List of Fabricated Hadith]] -  Expand on the section dealing with [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/List_of_Fabricated_Hadith#Muhammad.27s_Farewell_Sermon Muhammad's Farewell Sermon], thus creating a stand alone article. Then replace the existing text with a summary of the new article and redirect links where appropriate.
# [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Wives and Concubines of Muhammad]] - Add all the tabari quotes
# [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Muhammad the Warmonger]] has more sources concerning the Banu Qurayza than our [[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 our "main article" template added.
# [[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:Muhammad the Mass Murderer]]: add more assassinations
# [[Qur'an,_Hadith_and_Scholars:Muhammad]] - fix/rename titles of linked pages from "names" to nouns, e.g. [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Muhammad the Cross-Dresser‎]], change to [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Muhammad and Cross-Dressing]], fix links in QHS template too.
# [[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 our page ... should all be added on the page


===Others===
===Higher priority===
# [[Islam]] - Rewrite existing article in a similar vein to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam Wikipedia's article]. This is an important article because it is linked on almost every page. The existing content can be moved, deleted or merged with other pages.
# Use more hadiths from here [http://www.livingislam.org/fiqhi/sp2-gfh_e.html#9] to add to [[72 virgins]] and any other article
# See: [[Talk:Honor Related Violence (Pakistan)]]
# See: [[Talk:Islam and Freedom of Speech (Links)]]
# See: [[Talk:Muslim Statistics]]
# [[Muslim Conspiracy Theories]] - This claim ([http://www.wikiislam.net/w/index.php?title=Michael_Jackson_(Conversion_to_Islam)&curid=7045&diff=64345&oldid=61429], [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Michael_Jackson_(Conversion_to_Islam)#Conspiracies]) about Michael Jackson's death (the theory in general) may deserve its own section. Check the net to see how widespread it is.
# Create categories for every country found [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Persecution_Listed_by_Country here]. Then add categories to all relevant pages
# [[Zakat]] - Expand this stub using the info on [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Zakat]], including real-world examples on Islamic charity being denied to non-Muslims and being used to fund jihad [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Accidents_and_Natural_Disasters_in_the_Muslim_World#Accidents_and_Natural_Disasters_in_the_Muslim_world ] (paragraph above conclusion), [{{Reference archive|1=http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/03/06/canadian-muslim-youth-organization-loses-charitable-status/|2=2012-03-12}}]
# [[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
# [[Allah the Polytheist]] - Responses by D335, Shapur II, Anthony Rogers, and Sam Shamoun to Osama Abdallah's apologetics can be found [{{Reference archive|1=http://www.answeringmuslims.com/2011/10/does-allah-commit-shirk.html|2=2011-10-17}} here]. Try to somehow incorporate all the info into the article. If this is not possible, then create a "Responses to Apologetics" section.
# [[Islam]] - incomplete page
# [[Quotations on Islam from Muslims]] - Currently the page is in a terrible state. Needs a complete overhaul. The page should resemble [[Quotations on Islam from the Noteworthy]] without the "short bio" sections etc. that are there now. The quotes also need to be updated (there are so much more shocking quotes available today).
# [[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.
# [[Literature on Islam]] - Similar to the "Notable Former Muslims" task. Create pages for each linked book.
# [[Notable Former Muslims]] - Just as much "new content" as it is an Expansion/Improvement. Create short but concise informational stubs on each notable former Muslim to replace the out-going links we have in that page at the moment. Who they are and brief info on their apostasy. The information for this should already be available in the existing links which can serve as an "External Link" in the new pages.
# [[Funding of Islam]], [[Moderate Islam]] & [[Rule of Islamic law]]; articles are incomplete and may need to be rewritten.
# [[Islam and Freedom of Speech]] - Add section on recent [[Islam_and_Freedom_of_Speech_(Links)#Pakistan|Pakistani Blasphemy cases and murders]]
# Rewrite [[Islamophobia]], some very good points raised here: [http://www.rightsidenews.com/2011012412648/editorial/rsn-pick-of-the-day/anglophobia-or-islamophobia-whats-the-real-problem.html Anglophobia or Islamophobia] & here: [http://ricochet.com/main-feed/Moderate-Muslim-Watch-How-the-Term-Islamophobia-Got-Shoved-Down-Your-Throat How the Term "Islamophobia" Got Shoved Down Your Throat]. Analyze the Runnymede's definition of the term
# Expand and rewrite [[Historical Persecution of Non-Muslims]]
# Rewrite [[Lying for Islam (taqiyya)]]. Make it ''not'' about "taqiyya", but lying in general according to Islam. Emphasize the fact that lying for Islam is ''generally'' referred to as Taqiyya but ''is not'' limited to that strict definition. See [http://www.wikiislam.net/wiki/Islam_and_Propaganda#Lying_is_Permitted_to_Further_the_Cause_of_Islam this] to get an idea of what is required
# Update [[Muhammad and the violation of the Qur'an]] and add if needed from the new [http://www.faithfreedom.org/2009/09/29/muhammad-had-violated-the-quran-2/ part 2]
# [[Al-Azhar fatwa on adult suckling]] - 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. Also rewrite to look better.
# Overhaul [[Allah: I sent Jibreel to blow into Mary's Vagina]] to include BOTH interpretations of the verses in question - if you use only the Quran to understand then it says Allah ("We") blew into Mary to conceived Isa - this can be for the Quran-only Muslims. If you use the tafsirs then they say it was Jibreel. Also include supporting Tafsir's to back up what Kathir says; Jalalayn and Ibn Abbas.
# [[Victim of Islam]]
# Check if hadith pages are back on the CMJE site and then restore if they are ([http://wikiislam.net/w/index.php?title=The_Marriages_of_Muhammad%3A_A_violation_of_the_Qur%27an&action=historysubmit&diff=65181&oldid=60616])
# Replace Broken link fixes for old usc MSA website --> [http://wikiislam.net/w/index.php?title=Special:LinkSearch&target=*.usc.edu&limit=500&offset=0 Link search] (gives error after 500 links, total links: 1000) - Use text search and replace beginning part of URL with new URL
# See: [[Talk:Quotations on Islam from the Noteworthy]]
# [[Necrophilia]], get the original sources (need Arabic help) Other links: [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS304US305&q=%22put+on+her+my+shirt+that+she+may+wear+the+clothes+of+heaven%22&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= check] and add where appropriate or make new article.

Include definition from [http://www.studyquran.co.uk/15_NUN.htm Lane's Lexicon] (the actual PDF not just the summary)
#[[Ahmadiyya]] - add criticism of how they continue to be apologists for mainstream Islam by passing off distinctly Ahmadiyya beliefs as Islamic ones, e.g.: [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Refutation_to_Muslim_Apologetics_against_Aisha's_Age_of_Consummation#Introduction], [http://islamo-criticism.blogspot.com/2012/04/in-islam-heaven-is-not-exclusive-oh.html]

# [[Islamophobic Muslims]] - a page that gives a brief narrative of the neologisms creation and lists Muslims who would fall under the label, thus showing how ridiculous and/or misapplied the term is.

# Create article on Muhammad's wives (call it: [[Muhammad and his Wives]]) based on the [[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Wives and Concubines of Muhammad|Sources]]. This article would read like a story and would talk about all the good controversial stuff that happened between Muhammad and his wives. Full quotes for hadiths/verses do not have to be given. For references just use the hadith/verse numbers. Link the Sources page at the end in See Also and that will be enough as sources. It would have separate sections for the important wives (Aisha, Safiyah etc) and a combined section for other wives where there's not enough material to warrant a separate section. We have several wife related articles and we'll link those at the end. This is another "overall" article serving as the starting point for all other wife related stuff.
# Article for violent punishments in Islam: stoning, publish lashings, amputation of hands and feet. Combine all issues into one article. Start out with what Islamic sources say.

*Any stub you may encounter, most of the pages on Muhammad's (male) companions are stubs


2. If there's only one or two lines of testimony, move it here:
==Smaller revisions==
http://wikiislam.com/wiki/Comments_from_Former_Muslims
Articles which need portions moved, added, changed, or deleted


If there's no testimony at all and only bio info, move it here:
===Women===


http://wikiislam.com/wiki/People_Who_Left_Islam#Other_ex-Muslims
*Add info on marital rape to [[Rape]]. e.g. [http://www.thememriblog.org/turkey/blog_personal/en/3861.htm]. Gather relevant hadiths or fatwas (wife must have sex or angels will curse her, etc.)
Ask the admin to delete those short ones.


3. Announce new testimonies

Just follow the previous examples for how to format the data.
*[[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.

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)

  • 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

  • Fix hadith templates
  • Update the Translations page with more info on Urdu and Arabic translation projects
