Line 26: * 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 to include Pyramid Arcade details]] ===Game Rules Project=== * [[Looney_Pyramid_Games_Wiki:Community_Portal/Projects/Game_Rules\|Make sure every game has rules included.]] ===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=== Line 62 ⟶ 54: 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) ** Design favicon and mobile icons for the site * <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)
