This is a list of things that need to be done, with the most pressing needs at the top. Feel free to reorganize it as you see fit. |
|||
* Make the [[Main Page]] look nicer on mobile |
|||
** 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 favicon and mobile icons for the site |
|||
* Work on the [[Template:Infobox Game]] and [https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki Semantic MediaWiki] setup |
|||
** Designer property should probably turn into multiple individual designers; not sure how to do that in the infobox |
|||
** 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. |
|||
** Add a search page that allows searching or browsing games by property |
|||
** There is a work in progress of a new infobox at [[Template:Infobox Game Fancy]] |
|||
* Update the wiki for [[Pyramid Arcade]] |
|||
** <s>Write the page</s> Thanks [[User:Umjahwa|Umjahwa]]! |
|||
** <s>Add the games</s> |
|||
** <s>Create a listbox</s> |
|||
** Fill in more details on the games |
|||
*** [[Color Wheel]] |
|||
*** [[Give or Take]] |
|||
*** [[Looney Ludo]] |
|||
*** [[Lunar Invaders]] |
|||
*** [[Petal Battle]] |
|||
*** [[Petri Dish]] |
|||
*** [[Powerhouse]] |
|||
*** [[Pyramid Shambo]] |
|||
*** [[Verticality]] |
|||
** Add the components |
|||
** Update the various infoboxes/templates to include Pyramid Arcade info |
|||
** Update [[What Can I Play?]] for Pyramid Arcade |
|||
** Upload photos of Pyramid Arcade, add to the main page rotation |
|||
* Add the Pyramid Love font or SVGs to the wiki, with templates for conveniently accessing them |
|||
* Upload [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Reqimage|requested]] images, especially for the [[Talk:Main Page#Need photos|Main Page]] |
|||
* Add the [[Infobox]] to the [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Reqinfobox|rest of the games]] |
|||
* Add brief descriptions to all of the games, and add links to their rules, especially the ones that were in the [[Ice Game Design Competition]] |
|||
* 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. |
|||
* 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. |
|||
* Add the rules for games that you created or have permission to copy the rules of. Even if the rules are available elsewhere online, it's nice to have a lot of them in a consistent format, its good for instant gratification when people are looking for games here, and it can provide a backup in case the original rules go down. |
|||
* 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 pieceniking, etc), and a prose history would just be nice. |
|||
* Fill in some of the [[Special:Wantedpages|wanted pages]] |
|||
* Flesh out some of the [[Special:Shortpages|short pages]] |
|||
* Improve some of the [[:Category:pages needing improvement|pages needing improvement]] |
|||
* <s>Figure out how to make infobox items (mechanics?) optional</s> It looks as if this isn't possible in the way we would like. But we can... |
|||
** Make an all-new infobox. Anybody have a good design? |
|||

The most useful information from the pages mentioned below should be brought over here and wikified. |

Subject: Re: ICE: Hypothermia |
|||
Please feel free to include in the wiki anything I wrote or designed |
|||
(if I did) from any Hypothermia. As far as I'm concerned you can grab |
|||
any text from my web pages related to icehouse games too, and add them |
|||
to the wiki. There's an old index page with bad links here: |
|||
<http://www.wunderland.com/WTS/Ginohn/games/> |
|||
Thanks, everybody (and Mike!) for making the ice-wiki. Good stuff! |
