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.

To do list
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:
Maintenance
- images:
- All image filenames should to be moved to the 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):
- 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 wikipedia links to the {{w|Lorem ipsum}} format
- use lowercase xkcd everywhere on the wiki (see How do I write "xkcd"?)
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 Category:Comics from May 2011 and so on. What do you think? --Waldir (talk) 06:45, 6 August 2012 (EDT)
Page names
I think we should use the comic number and the title as the page name. Like so: "112: Baring My Heart". This would allow comics to be sorted by order in categories, but the pages would still have human-readable names for those of us who don't memorize all xkcd comic numbers ;) Thoughts? --Waldir (talk) 07:23, 6 August 2012 (EDT)
