ToDo
- recurring maintenance tasks
- Special:UncategorizedCategories
- Special:UncategorizedFiles
- Special:UncategorizedPages
- Special:WantedCategories
- Special:DeadendPages
- Special:LonelyPages
- Special:WantedFiles
- Special:DoubleRedirects
- Special:UnusedTemplates
- Special:WantedPages
- convert wikipedia links to use the {{w}} template.
- Unpatrolled changes by registered users
- Unpatrolled changes by anonymous users
- sysop one-time tasks
- Style the wiki! Example of what can be done: http://setiquest.org/wiki
- Edit text shown when someone tries to edit the main page to say that the actual comic page can be changed
- Add Menu-to-tabs gadget
- Add 6tabs gadget
- non-sysop one-time tasks
- use lowercase xkcd everywhere on the wiki (see How do I write "xkcd"?)
- Use a single template for comic pages!
- {{comic}}, {{ComicHeader}}, {{comicbox}}...
- The code needs to be human-readable!
- Once creation process is stabilized, make the "add yours" link/inputbox on the main page point to a Help:How to add a new comic page (see also {{create}})
- Use a local help/FAQ page and link it from the sidebar rather than mediawiki's vanilla help which isn't very friendly.
- {{comic}} should add a zero-padded DEFAULTSORT
- content
- Topics to cover/mention: our twitter account the xkcd irc channel (and its wiki), the blag, the forum, other sites explaining xkcd ([1], [2], [3], [4], maybe invite members+content of the other wikis in once we're established?), etc.
- http://www.explainxkcd.com/category/wikipedia/ vs. Category:Wikipedia
- bot edits
- rename comic pages to "number: title" (on hold until consensus in page title format is reached)
- rename section "Description" to "Explanation"
- add {{Comic discussion}} to all comic pages
- remove unused
imagesize=
parameter from {{comic}} (it's on the documentation in case anyone needs it) - add redirects from 1.png, etc, to the actual filenames
- Add links to original comics from xkcd (and hotlink to images). Also, format image pages in standard fashion (comic images, characters...)
- server-side
- Extension:Contribution Scores to gamify the wiki a little :D
- Extension:Comments
- Try to get a rendered feed of Special:NewPages, instead of [5]
- Maybe it would really be a good idea to move comics to a comic namespace, otherwise spam pages would crop up. Besides, even without spam, other non-comic but otherwise valid wiki pages would show too... An alternative solution is using a custom rendering engine other than mediawiki, then page title patterns could be enforced. Finally, add RSS link on sidebar.
