This page focuses around the work to do to improve this wiki site. You can write your suggestions here, and, even more important, you can see here how you can help us!

If there is need to "talk" about something, we can use the Discussion of this page, the talk pages of each page, or our forum. In fact, we have a thread dedicated to improving the Wiki.

Well, update this page as needed! Add an entry, remove an entry[1], and in general, improve this Wiki! If you need help, you can use the talk page, or the forum!
After you create/fix something as suggested in the lists here, it is a good idea to move the implemented suggestion to WikiWorks/Archive. If you create a page, but you feel it is only a "stub", you can move its line from the list of pages that should be created to the list of pages that should be expanded.

Before writing, PLEASE take a look to the "Notes" section below. It is very advisable.

Pages which should be created

A list of pages that could be useful for readers, and that, for now, do not exist.

Pages which should be expanded or updated

A list of pages that already exist but should be expanded, updated, fixed... Please explain, is short, what is needed. The list can include images that should be replaced/updated because of they refer to very old releases of the game.

List of images needed

A list of images needed, and in which pages.

Pages which could be renamed

A list of pages that maybe should be moved to another title (renamed). Remember: a "move" action created a redirect with the old name that point to the new name.

Useful pages

This is different from the other sections in this page. This is simply a list of pages that may be useful when working on this wiki site. Mainly service pages.

Useful templates

To insert a template in a page, use {{TemplateName}}, or {{TemplateName|parameter1=text1|parameter2=text2}}, e.g. {{GPL}}. Check each template page for infos about it.

Notes

Appendix: Basic MediaWiki markup

This is just a small "recap" of basic MediaWiki markup, it does not predend to be a complete help. For more infos you can take a look to Wikipedia markup help, considering its basic markup is similar to Wikia. 

'' for italic ''
''' for bold '''
''''' for italic + bold '''''
<br /> for new line (a single carriage return does nothing; two carriage returns make a separate paragraph)
: at the beginning of a line makes the text begin more at right (more :: for more indentation) - just placing "spaces" at the beginning of a line would do nothing.
* makes a line of a list
** for a sub-list
<nowiki> text </nowiki> makes it ignore markup on the "text" part.
[http://www.openarena.ws Official site] creates an external link showing "official site"
[[Manual]] creates an internal link (Wikilink) to the "Manual" page - Please remember they are CASE SENSITIVE (except for the very first character only).
[[Manual/Graphic options]] creates an internal link to the "Manual/Graphic options" page
[[Manual/Graphic options#GLSL effects]] creates an internal link to the "GLSL effects" section of that page (if source link and destination section are IN THE SAME PAGE, one can also simply write [[#Section]], in the example [[#GLSL effects]])
[[Manual|Byebye]] creates an internal link showing "byebye" as text
==Section A title==
===Sub secton===
====Sub-sub section====
==Section N title==
To write text in "courier" style (I usually use it when I mention console commands), you can use <tt>text</tt> or <code>text</code>. I don't remember the difference now, however I usually use <tt> text </tt>.
To paste sections of programs source code, the <code> tag would continue to use various mediawiki features (e.g. ignoring a single carriage return)... so I use <pre> text < /pre> (WITHOUT the space between "<" and "/") instead. I think that means "pre-formatted": that text will IGNORE most mediawiki conventions: you can use spaces at the beginning of the line -I suggest to use them instead of TABs-, a single carriage return will go to a new line, etc.).

Other notes

  1. ↑ If the work has already been done, or if the entry has been wrongly posted
  2. ↑ WARNING: push the "source code button" only after the page loaded completely, otherwise you will see HTML markup instead of Wiki markup: in this case, abort editing and start again, or the page will be screwed up!
  3. ↑ Remember that the underlying source code is similar, but the interface is very different
  4. ↑ Only the very first letter is not case sensitive: in case of sub-pages, the first letter of the sub-page is case sensitive, too. E.g. in "Mypage/Subpage", "M" is not case sensitive, while all other letters -including "S"- are. Section names are completely case sensitive, even the first letter.
