Dota 2 Wiki:Tasks

'''Dota 2 Wiki has never had more than five or so active editors, and the work is simply too much for us to handle anymore. Please help us in any way you can! All we ask is that you are able to write in understandable English.'''

High Priority
These are easy tasks that require no special knowledge of MediaWiki. Please read this editing guideline before doing any of the following tasks.
 * Add more information to low-content hero Counters pages. Use Phantom Lancer/Counters as a format model.
 * Add more information to low-content hero Guides pages. Use Juggernaut/Guide as a format model.
 * Update the ability builds on hero Guides pages to Version 7.00's leveling scheme. Use Monkey King/Guide as a format model.
 * Unpopular hero pages need the most help.
 * Add recommended heroes information to Items pages. Use Eul's Scepter of Divinity as a format model.
 * Keep an eye on any new patches and update heroes/items pages accordingly. Remember to update the changelog pages as well.
 * Double check latest patch notes and add any changes to the appropriate Mechanics page. This is often neglected after hero pages are updated.

Medium Priority

 * Upload preview screenshots for every cosmetic item, and .gifs for custom animations/effects. Use Bindings of Deep Magma and its gallery as a format model.
 * Update drop list and crafting list using items_game.txt
 * Update List of Console Commands with post-7.00 convars, using cvarlist and condump

Low Priority

 * Community database + portal
 * Individual pages for ever major workshop artist
 * Individual pages for all major Dota 2 sites (Dotabuff, Dotacinema, etc)
 * Add second black background column to Emoticons
 * Add all Terrain tiles to Faction page as gallery
 * Incorporate brand/player icons into Template:Cosmetic Item infobox
 * Finish Terrain + Weather preview galleries using the exact same image dimensions as seen on Desert Terrain, with HUD cropped out

Admins Only
The following tasks should be left to Dota 2 Wiki's administrators.
 * Split Dota 2 Wiki into several languages with their own subdomains
 * Finish Lore database
 * Create Comics database
 * Create convenient major links box near the top of the front page - Creeps, Buildings, Guides, Counters, Audio, Comics, etc
 * Link to this To Do page somewhere on the front page, maybe inside the box
 * Reorganize Gem pages with emphasis on what counts as strange counters or not, currently some runes and event gems are basically the same as Inscribed Gems
 * Find way to better represent Customizations and Loading Screens with lower load times

Future Projects/Ideas

 * Full Audio database
 * Put Inscribed Gems/runes in equipment templates? Since they are hero-specific. - Could cause slower load times
 * Upload custom cursor files from Cursor Packs - Cant find files in .vpk
 * Table or information on rarity drop rate percentage for Treasures - No information in files, hardcoded, community estimates only
 * Redo Pennant pages when Valve decides to fix their naming scheme
 * Redo past events pages like Diretide 2012 - Low priority, almost no pageviews
 * Research Greevils and all their egg/particle effect variations, upload previews
 * Upload hero voice responses for non-English languages
 * Gameplay portal and template - Roles, Laning, Creep Control, etc
 * Invite workshop artist participation in posting concept art in cosmetic item galleries - Finish lore first
 * Find way to put hero ability demonstrations on hero pages - .gifs or create Youtube channel for wiki and embed a single demonstration video for each hero
 * Donations button?
