Avlis Wiki:Projects
The Avlis wiki is a work in progress, and everyone can join in and help. This page is for those who are looking for something to wikify, a new category to make, or just check and see what is currently being done.
| You can help by expanding stubs or creating wanted pages. |
Continuous projects
These are ever-ongoing projects, which will probably never be fully completed.
Adding wanted pages
Wanted pages are pages that have a link to them somewhere, but don't exist yet. When coming across a red link, that means the page in question is one of those wanted pages.

Categorizing pages
Every page needs to have a category. If a fitting category doesn't exist, one should be made. Since these were originally done piecemeal, Krator started an organized index of categories. It shows categories in a suggested hierarchy. This should be expanded, and new pages categorized using it as a guideline. See Avlis Wiki talk:Categories for current work.

Crosslinking Pages
Something that is always good to do, is make words link to other pages. Internal linking is what makes the wiki a good resource and library, so every word that cán link to a relevant page, should link there. In general, every regular wiki editor is busy adding links to pages.
Related pages:
- Dead-end pages are pages without any links on them. This should be avoided unless it's a special page.
- Orphaned pages are pages without any pages linking to them. This should be avoided unless it's a special page.
Removing stubs
Stubs are small pages that are a little more than an empty page: someone already made the page and added a small explaination to it, and, most importantly, added it to the stubs category. This category makes it possible to track stubs easily, and allow editors to look for pages that need expansion.

Current Projects
These projects can be finished and are usually of smaller scope than the continuous projects.
When adding your name to the "users working on this project" list, please do it in the following format: ":[[User:Name]](Priority 1-10)", where priority 1 is a forgotten side project, and 10 is that you're working on it right now in another tab/window.
When adding a project, please do it in the same format as the others. Projects are listed in chronological order.
Please add your projects and your name to projects you're working on.
Removing Pg: prefix
The Pg: prefix is something that is added to a lot of the older pages, while nothing really sets those pages apart, like other prefixes like Help:, Special:, Guild:, and PCs: do. The Pg: prefix makes it difficult to find pages using the "Go" feature, typing in the URL, or using a Firefox quicksearch bookmark.
The solution when finding a page with the Pg: prefix would be to either:
- 1. Move the page to the same name without the Pg: prefix, or
- 2. Make the page without the Pg: prefix a redirect to the one with the prefix.
Either is fine, but do watch out for broken redirects.
Update: All pages have been moved. Now the only thing that needs to be done is remove all links to Pg: pages. This will be a slow process: try to remove them whenever you see any.
