* Add the [[Infobox]] to the [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Reqinfobox|rest of the games]]
* Check the Maintenance Special:SpecialPages
* Clean up external links.
** There are many [[Special:LinkSearch/icehousegames.org|icehousegames.org]] links that need to be replaced with internal links.<br/>For example: <nowiki>[http://icehousegames.org/wiki/index.php?title=Blam] should instead be [[Blam!]]</nowiki>
** There are around 300 bad domains found by [[Special:RottenLinks]] (Check "Show rotten links only" and click "Search")<br/>Click the number in the "Page Usage" column to see what pages link to that domain. These links should be replaced by archive.org links at the least.
===Pyramid Arcade Project===
* [[Looney_Pyramid_Games_Wiki:Community_Portal/Projects/Pyramid_Arcade|Update the wiki forto include [[Pyramid Arcade details]]
** <s>Write the page</s> Thanks [[User:Umjahwa|Umjahwa]]!
** <s>Add the games</s>
** <s>Create a listbox</s>
** Fill in more details on the games
*** <s>[[Color Wheel]]</s>
*** <s>[[Give or Take]]</s>
*** <s>[[Looney Ludo]]</s>
*** [[Lunar Invaders]]
*** <s>[[Petal Battle]]</s>
*** [[Petri Dish]]
*** [[Powerhouse]]
*** [[Pyramid Shambo]]
*** [[Verticality]]
** Add the components
** Update the various infoboxes/templates to include Pyramid Arcade info
** Update [[What Can I Play?]] for Pyramid Arcade
** Upload photos of Pyramid Arcade, add to the main page rotation
===Game Rules Project===
* [[Looney_Pyramid_Games_Wiki:Community_Portal/Projects/Game_Rules|Make sure every game has rules included.]]
* Find games without rules
** Obtain [[IcehouseOrg:Permissions|record permission]] to duplicate the rules on IcehouseGames
** Link to the official sources for the rules.
Even if the rules are available elsewhere online, it's nice to have a lot of them in a consistent format, it's good for instant gratification when people are looking for games here, and it can provide a backup in case the original rules go down.
===What Can I Play? Project===
* [[Looney_Pyramid_Games_Wiki:Community_Portal/Projects/What_Can_I_Play?|Improve the "What Can I Play?" page.]]
* Help new players [[What Can I Play?|choose games]] to play, by filling in some more games and adding more categories and criteria by which to choose games.
* Reorganise [[What Can I Play?]] to be more organised around Pyramid Arcade. Move the focus away from treehouse stashes and pyramid stashes.
* Maybe use wiki categories instead of hard-listing the games.
===Infobox Project===
* [[Looney_Pyramid_Games_Wiki:Community_Portal/Projects/Infobox|Finish setting up the infobox used on game pages.]]
* Work on the [[Template:Infobox Game]] and [https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki Semantic MediaWiki] setup
** <s> Designer property should probably turn into multiple individual designers; not sure how to do that in the infobox </s>
** <s> Description currently has wikitext on many pages, but that doesn't seem to be supported by the current version of Semantic MediaWiki. We need to either find a way to make a property that contains a plain-text description that goes along with the wikitext description, figure out how to enable wikitext in a property, or make it not be a semantic property. </s>
** Add a search page that allows searching or browsing games by property
** <s> There is a work in progress of a new infobox at [[Template:Infobox Game Fancy]] </s> New inbox box is all loaded in and appears to be working! Please report any issue you encounter on the [[Template_talk:Infobox Game|Infobox talk page]]
===History Project===
* [[Looney_Pyramid_Games_Wiki:Community_Portal/Projects/History|Improve the historical information we have.]]
* Do work on the [[Icehouse in general]] section.
** Organize the table of contents better, and include more culture articles, stuff like [[generic gaming kit]]/[[icebox]], and so on.
** Write a [[history of Icehouse]] (or maybe [[history of Looney Pyramids]]). We already have a [[history timeline]], but it's incomplete (doesn't list when the first other game to be played when Icehouse pieces (Zarcana?) was invented, doesn't discuss piecenik-ing, etc), and a prose history would just be nice.
===Game Strategy Project===
* [[Looney_Pyramid_Games_Wiki:Community_Portal/Projects/Game_Strategy|Add strategy pages for games.]]
* Help write [[strategy]] articles for the games you know how to play
** Some good candidates would be [[Pikemen strategy]], [[Martian Chess strategy]], [[Branches & Twigs & Thorns strategy]], and any game that you think you could write a good strategy article on
** [[Homeworlds strategy]] is a work in progress, and could use lots of improvement. Feel free to do copyediting, add advice, reorganize it to a better structure, or whatever you feel would make it better (although deleting the entire thing might be a little extreme)
** Also flesh out the generic [[strategy]] advice, perhaps explaining concepts like expected value, sente (Go term), pinning, playing where your opponent wants to play, putting yourself in a situation where you have two good moves and the opponent can only block one, and so on.
===Admin Tasks===
** We now have the [[mw:Extension:MobileFrontend|mobile extension]] installed. For the most part, this allows things to look good on mobile devices; but the image on the main page doesn't scale properly. We probably want to figure out a way to make it fit into the mobile layout better. There are some [[mw:Mobile Gateway/Mobile homepage formatting|notes on how to do this in the MediaWiki docs]]
** It looks like the main issue is getting the front-page images scaled properly. A first step to that would be to replace all of the custom pages for each of the main page images, with one that uses [[Template:Weekly image]], so we can set parameters on these images globally rather than having to go through each one. I've done do on the first few already (for example [[Main_Page/Picture_for_week_1]]), just need to go through each of the later images ([[Main Page/Weekly images]]) and use the template.
** Design <s>favicon</s> and mobile icons for the site.<br/> - Tested various favicons, currently using a green large pyramid as it shows up well in different color themes. --[[User:Dazeysan|Dazeysan]] ([[User talk:Dazeysan|talk]]) 00:49, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

* <s>Remove [[Special:UnusedFiles|unused files]], especially images that look like they were uploaded by wiki spammers</s><br/> - No unused images were imported during the 2023 migration. See [[List of files not imported]] for details. --[[User:Dazeysan|Dazeysan]] ([[User talk:Dazeysan|talk]]) 00:49, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
* <s>Add an extension for embedding videos from sites such as YouTube</s>. Done, see [[mw:Extension:EmbedVideo|Extension:EmbedVideo]] for docs, [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}]] for example.</s><br/> - This extension was not enabled in the 2023 migration, do we need it? --[[User:Dazeysan|Dazeysan]] ([[User talk:Dazeysan|talk]]) 00:49, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
