User:Zakgreant/Manual Namespace Sweep

Key pages

edit

These are some of the most important pages on in the Manual namespace. We want to polish them soon, as the are often used.

To tidy

edit

These pages are less important, but really need a tidying.

Move to userspace

edit

These pages don't really belong in the Manual namespace and should likely be moved.

Misc.

edit
  • we really, really need to separate pages as much as possible. Info gets fragmented across many pages then quickly gets crufty.
  • Manual:Contents/To_do needs to include some kind of flagging or category system. Manually maintaining a list of content to update, etc. makes work that doesn't need to be done. Need to take a hard look at flagged revs for this.
  • examine existing templates (and make new ones) to ease tedium.
  • http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Manual:Personalization&action=historysubmit&diff=136204&oldid=131262 notes that over-use of templates is a bad thing. Need to investigate, as I'd rather type {{$|SomeVar}} than <code>[[Manual:$SomeVar|$SomeVar]]</code>. Shouldn't the multiple layers of caching take care of the related load?
    {{wg}} created. Example: {{wg|EnableUploads}} Output: $wgEnableUploads .
  • let's put big, long URLs on a single line when possible so that we can read the darn things
  • Review all categories
  • need database hub
  • should tackle docs section-by-section, which will make it more efficient to determine needed templates, categories, etc.
  • not even going to think about Manual:Extension right now
  • need standard template for function arguments, etc.
  • Manual:Hooks should be tackled separately
  • skipping Interface articles for now
  • ensure that useful content in http://toolserver.org/~mwbot/botbrain.html is also in the manual
  • start using tags from Special:Tags for edit messages?
