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.

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, chamged, or deleted
  • Wiki House-Keeping--These are issues related to the structure and usability of the wiki, such as hub pages and templates
