'''Maintenance'''
 +
* images:
 +
** All image filenames should to be moved to the [[List of all comics|capitalized versions]]. This will allow comics to automatically include the image based on page title.
 +
** Redirects should be made from the "number.png" format to the titled format.
 +
** Images should be categorized (comic images, character images, illustrations for the explanations, etc.)
 +
* categorization (make sure these lists are empty):
 +
** [[Special:UncategorizedCategories]]
 +
** [[Special:UncategorizedFiles]]
 +
** [[Special:UncategorizedPages]]
 +
** [[Special:WantedCategories]]
 +
* building the web of links:
 +
** [[Special:DeadendPages]] (pages with no links to other pages)
 +
** [[Special:LonelyPages]] (pages that aren't linked to by any others)
 +
* other
 +
** [[Special:DoubleRedirects]]
 +
** convert [[Special:LinkSearch/en.wikipedia.org|wikipedia links]] to the <nowiki>{{w|Lorem ipsum}}</nowiki> format
 +
** use lowercase xkcd everywhere on the wiki (see [http://xkcd.com/about/ How do I write "xkcd"?])

I'm not sure the "[[:Category:Comics by month|Comics by month]]", by weekday, etc. Will be much useful, unless for those interested in running some stats. It might be more interesting to have specific months, such as [[Category:Comics from May 2011]] and so on. What do you think? --[[User:Waldir|Waldir]] ([[User talk:Waldir|talk]]) 06:45, 6 August 2012 (EDT)

To do

I suggest a todo list to be added here so newcomers will have an idea of concrete things they can do to help. I'll start by moving some items I've been collecting on my user page. Feel free to add more :)

Things to do

  • Complete all entries from the List of all comics
  • Special:WantedPages lists pages that have links to them but haven't been created yet.
  • More topics that could be covered here besides the comics themselves:
    • our twitter account
    • the xkcd irc channel (and its wiki)
    • the xkcd blag
    • the xkcd forum
    • other sites explaining xkcd ([1], [2], [3], [4], maybe invite members+content of the other wikis in once we're established?)

Maintenance

There are more maintenance reports at Special:SpecialPages, for inspiration :) --Waldir (talk) 06:45, 6 August 2012 (EDT)

Date categories

I'm not sure the "Comics by month", by weekday, etc. Will be much useful, unless for those interested in running some stats. It might be more interesting to have specific months, such as and so on. What do you think? --Waldir (talk) 06:45, 6 August 2012 (EDT)
