Looking for a way to improve the wiki? See the Improvement project!

On May 1, 2007, all articles in the GuildWiki build namespace will be deleted. After that date, no build articles may be posted to the GuildWiki in either the main or build namespaces before a new policy is decided on. Find the reasoning and the details behind this at GuildWiki:Builds wipe.

[edit] Welcome to GuildWiki

This page is used as a task list to keep our efforts in the wiki coordinated and help new contributors finding issues that need attendance. Additionally, this page's discussion page is used for discussions that affect the wiki in general.

Also check out Category:Research needed for research specific tasks, Category:Helping out for more information about the wiki, and Category:Votes for issues that are being decided/debated by the community.

[edit] Projects

Please view the tentative guidelines for GuildWiki:Projects. Many of these task lists would be better suited toward a project—further, this article could be reconstituted as a real community portal if projects are better defined. If you wish to create a project for any list below, please do so!

[edit] Completable Tasks

These tasks have a well defined stopping point. The usual style is to indicate the subtasks with bullets, and strike them out as they are completed. Add new completable taks to the bottom of this section.

[edit] Category:Needs SoC confirmation

Add Bosses that require Signet of Capture confirmation of skills in this category so other people can confirm them. Remember, RawDump is considered a form of SoC confirmation, just need to update the boss page, don't need an additional SoC check.

[edit] Update Collector rewards

The Collector rewards page needs to be updated, as Elonian collectors/rewards are missing for the core classes and such. --66.56.84.155 13:59, 1 January 2007 (CST)

The weapons have Nightfall info. The armor articles still need to be updated.

[edit] Preliminary C3 data

It has been some time since the relase of Nightfall, so we should verify the content of articles in this category (→ Category:Preliminary C3 data) and eventually retire the template (→ Template:C3). --MRA 15:39, 15 March 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Category:Build redirects

There are about 600 redirects pointing from Main: namespace to builds in Build: namespace in the Category:Build redirects. Those redirects were created when all builds moved to the new namespace, and we still need to fix the pages that link to them and delete the redirects afterwards. --MRA 12:15, 16 March 2007 (CDT)

[edit] Perennial Tasks

These are tasks that have no stop date. Usually, these are administrative tasks, or tasks that require collecting a potentially infinite amount of data. Add new perennial tasks to the bottom of this section.

[edit] Policy Formulation

Please look at GuildWiki:Policy for suggested guidelines for proposing and changing policies, a more centralized way of tracking what is currently up for discussion, and a more up-to-date listing of GuildWiki policy.

[edit] Collect Boss/Mob Data

For each offensive skill the monster use, record its damage on the talk page. If the damage does not ignore armor, record the armor the victim is wearing. Also note any enchantments or hexes that might have been in place.
Wait for a damage-guru to back-solve the monster's rank in the relevant attribute.

[edit] Update Salvage Data Categories

Update all categores which "Contain raw material" to include all items in the wiki and add new categories to cover all raw materials.

I did my best to categorize all the item articles for which at least one material component is known. Yet, the vast majority of the items still need research on into which material they salvage (especially regarding rare materials), so there is still a long way to go. --MRA 16:20, 24 October 2006 (CDT)

I'm currently working on salvaging large amounts of collectable and salvage items to "fill in the gaps," and I'll be moving on to weapons (and everything else) afterwards. Hopefully I'll have enough data to generate some meaningful statistics by the end of this summer. --Mesti 01:38, 7 March 2007 (CST)

[edit] Collect Data On The After Cast Of Skills

Skills like Aftershock have a time after the cast where you can not move nor cast. This is referred to as aftercast.

[edit] Data Collection For Drop Rate Research

If you're farming out there and committing all kinds of crimes against computer-controlled monsters, take a moment to open a spread sheet and jot down the drops of the monsters you take down. See, the Drop rate article for what data to collect.
