| '''Ironman guide'''
 
 
A guide for [[Ironman Mode|ironmen]] on effectively training skills, tasks and quests to focus on, etc.
 
| Medium-High
 
| Basic-Medium
 
| Small
 
| [[User:Gaz Lloyd|Gaz Lloyd]]
 
| Much progress has been made on [[Ironman Mode/Strategies]]; some more strategy may need to be added.
 
|-
 
| '''Ironman support'''
 
 
In addition to the main guide above, work ironman support into many articles. Notes in quest articles, items, even additions to templates and entirely new calculators.
 
| Medium-High
 
| There are things to do for all
 
| Small-Large, depending
 
| [[User:Gaz Lloyd|Gaz Lloyd]]
 
| You'll probably need to have played an ironman for a while

| '''Money making guides'''
 
 
Create money making guides for new methods.

| Small (per guide)
 
| [[User:IsobelJ|IsobelJ]]
 
| See existing guides on [[money making guide]] for formatting. Suggestions for new methods to test (please add more):
 
* [[Harmonised runite rock|Harmonised rune]]/[[Harmonised adamantite rock|adamant]]
 
* Hunting [[Crystal skillchompa (Hunter)|crystal skillchompa]]s
 
|-
 
| '''Urns'''
 
 
Pages for the new urns types released in the [[Update:Stackable Urns & New Types|stackable urns update]] need to be properly filled out with information. There are now urns for Hunter, Divination, Farming, and Runecrafting. Each urn has an (unf), (nr), (r), and (full) variant page to be filled out. See the pages for pre-existing urns for examples of what information should be on each page.
 
 
Data is needed about the activities that fill the new skilling urns. This should be presented in a table, for example see [[decorated mining urn]].
 
 
The [[urns]] page should be updated with information about the new urns.

| To gather all the data about filling urns you may need an account with a high level in the relevant skill to access all the content that could fill the urns.
 
 
|-
 
| '''Social media documentation'''
 
The few pages we have about Jagex's social media presence are outdated and poorly written. You will need to research information about the official, verified Jagex accounts as well as the sites that they are hosted on.

| Basic
 
| Small - Medium
 
| [[User:Scuzzy Beta|Scuzzy Beta]]
 
| Would probably be beneficial to possess accounts on the relevant websites.
 
|-
 
| '''Boss guides'''
 
 
Many of our boss guides are a bit lacking, and sometimes outdated. We could do with experienced PvMers to help us (re)write guides, and to update older guides. A particular focus should be on improving the gear recommendations.

| '''Chat options for quest quick guides'''
 
 
Make sure all quick guides for quests give chat numbers for quickly skipping through dialogue: see [[Land of the Goblins/Quick guide]] for example. All quick guides can be found in [[:Category:Quick guides]]. You may be able to find out which options are used through video walkthroughs/quest guides. See {{t|Chat options}}
 
| Basic
 
| Basic
 
| Medium
 
| [[User:BrenRS|BrenRS]]
 
| Chat options that are utilizing the template can be spotted by a quick chat icon. Options that are not dot-underlined mean there is no dialogue associated with it.
 
|-
 
| '''NPC maps'''
 
 
Standardise [[:Category:NPC maps|NPC maps]] to use the updated world map and a consistent style. A guide on how to make these maps can be found [[RuneScape:Editing/Basic maps|here]]. Many NPCs do not currently have a map; their pages may be found in [[:Category:Needs map]].
 
 
Some of the NPCs may not actually require maps, e.g. if they are found in multiple locations, in this case you can prevent them from being listed as needing a map by adding |map = no to the [[:Template:Infobox non-player character|infobox]].
 
| Low - Medium
 
| Basic
 
| Large
 
| [[User:IsobelJ|IsobelJ]]
 
| It would also be helpful for future maintenance to add correctly categorise any new NPC maps. You can do this by adding [[:Category:NPC maps]] and the correct subcategory of [[:Category:Maps by area]] in the upload summary box when uploading the map.
 
|-
 
| '''Graphical updates'''
 
 
Complete [[graphical updates]] pages by adding images of content which has been graphically updated.
 
| Basic

Granularity for employees of Jagex. To find out more information and for a list of known Jagex employees, see [[User:JaydenKieran/Jagex]].
 
| Basic
 
| Medium
 
| Medium - Large
 
| [[User:JaydenKieran|JaydenKieran]]
 
| As a result of a Yew Grove discussion, there is added information regarding Jagex employee granularity on [[RS:G]]. Please follow this policy.
 
|-
 
| '''Perk boosts'''
 
 
Expand perk pages with detailed information on the DPS/etc boost the perk provides, as well as interactions. See [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eO0lTYEQAVYY3hnzvGtRaFyugKpQ7Uo7NouVkroSy7M/edit#gid=875437625 For some numbers].
 
| High
 
| Medium
 
| Small-Medium
 
| [[User:Gaz Lloyd|Gaz Lloyd]]
 
| You may need to be able to reproduce the numbers, possibly contact author.
 
|-
 
| '''Perk creation'''
 
 
Further implement {{t|perk suggestion}} on perk pages to give recommendations on making perks. (Possibly solved by the above, but this is generally easier to do in the meantime.)
 
| High

| '''Perk research'''
 
 
We want to know how to work out what perks you will get from an arbitrary input of materials. The two-step process (what generates the list before you make the gizmo, and how does that list turn into a distribution of gizmos) is not truly understood, but we have some internal data which might help
 
| Medium-High
 
| None-Basic
 
| Large
 
| [[User:Gaz Lloyd|Gaz Lloyd]]
 
| You will likely need a high Invention level. Truly extensive research will also require a lot gizmos to be made and filled with possibly expensive materials. You need to be able to problem solve - this is really about looking at the internal data we have, the in-game result, and working out how the former becomes the latter.
 
 
|-
 
| '''Correct damage reductions'''
 
 
It has been brought to my attention that the damage reduction stats of items is based on the required levels and not their internal tier. This means a bunch of articles have incorrect damage reduction stats on them, which should be fixed. [https://www.reddit.com/r/Mr_G_W/comments/5dzsyi/pvp_and_pvm_damage_reduction_stats/ see also]

| '''Skillguides'''
 
 
Update [[skill training guides]] to include current, effective training methods. Add base experience rates for methods if possible. Improve formatting of guides (see [[Pay-to-play Fishing training]] for an example of how to format). Guides that need to be reworked include combat skills, buyable skills, Slayer and Dungeoneering.

| The possibility of creating calculators to provide personalised training advice for buyable skills has been [[Forum:Interactive skill training guides -- feedback wanted|previously discussed]]. Implementing this may require extensive in-game testing of methods and/or work on calculators.
 
|-
 
| '''Infobox recipe'''
 
 
{{t|Infobox Recipe}} should be applied to every Make-X interface item. Additionally, {{t|uses material list}} should be added to the materials once the infobox has been added to the products.

|-
 
 
| '''Review existing calculators'''
 
 
Most of our [[calculators]] could do with being reviewed - check if they need to be updated with new things, if they need [[RS:CALC]] guidelines applied, etc. The review then needs to be implemented, not necessarily by the reviewer.
 
| Medium-High

|-
 
| '''Infobox recipe modulisation'''
 
 
Infobox recipe is already a module, but it should be refactored to use [[Module:Infobox]] to be standardised.
 
| Low
 
| Advanced+Lua
 
| Medium-Large
 
| [[User:Gaz Lloyd|Gaz Lloyd]]
 
| This is likely a really complex project
 
|-
 
| '''Disassembly by store price'''
 
 
Many items are cheaper when bought from a store to be disassembled. We should have a calculator like [[Calculator:Disassembly by material]] using store prices instead.
 
| Low
 
| Advanced+Lua+SMW
 
| Large
 
| [[User:Gaz Lloyd|Gaz Lloyd]]
 
| This is likely a really complex project. I can see two ways to do this: expand our current SMW, or do a one-time pass and make a lua module (possibly with a bot to maintain the prices if edited or something).
 
|-
 
| '''Revolution bars expansion'''
 
 
[[Revolution/Bars]] is a great page, but it would be nice to have a full calculator where we can answer the generic question "given these basic abilities, what is the best bar I can make?". This is unlikely to be able to be done in-browser, so bars should be pre-generated and the calculator just finds the best one (or, the best 5 or something).
 
 
In a different direction, it would be nice to expand [[Calculator:Revolution]] with threshold and ultimate ability support.
 
| Low
 
| Medium+JS
 
| Medium
 
| [[User:Gaz Lloyd|Gaz Lloyd]]
 
| I already have a bar optimisation program, so please contact me to obtain the source code. It is written in Java, so you will either need to be able to use that, or be able to rewrite in a language of your choice.
 
|-
 
| '''{{AnchorText|Treasure Hunter}} classifications'''
 
 
[[Treasure Hunter]] promotions and rewards have been recently argued over being discontinued or not. To help stop the fighting, some new message boxes have been added.
 
{{t|TH Item}} and {{t|TH Promotion}} should be added to their respective pages.
 
 
It would also be nice to add a <code>==Release history==</code> section on the relative pages, in order to better document week long promos, [[advent calender]], and [[2nd Chance Tuesday]] instances of the promotion.
 
| Low

| [[User:Sparky Kitty|Sparky Kitty]]
 
| I have a few examples: [[Rainbow cape]], [[Lava Lanterns]] (some pages like this need to be made), and [[Medium meteorite]].
 
|-
 
| '''Compass clue images'''
 
 
Many of the location images on [[Treasure Trails/Guide/Compass]] are outdated. The images can be found in [[:Category:Treasure Trails compass images]]. All outdated images should be [[RuneScape:Editing/Taking images|retaken]]: you do not need to obtain the clues, just pose in the correct spot in game. The image should include the minimap as in [[:File:Compass clue Al Kharid south-west of lodestone.png]].
 
| Low
 
| Medium
 
| High
 
| [[User:IsobelJ|IsobelJ]]
 
| For very old images it may be difficult to correctly identify the location in the current game, in this case add <nowiki>{{retake|Approximate}}</nowiki> in your upload summary to show that the location should be checked by someone who has the clue.
 
|-
 
| '''Farming stage images'''
 
 
Many images of plants' growth stage are obsolete since farming patch graphics were updated. These images can be found in [[:Category:Farming stage images]]. New versions need to be [[RuneScape:Editing/Taking images|taken]] and uploaded. You will need to plant the seed and capture a new image each time that the plant advances a growth stage and changes appearance.
 
| Medium (high Farming levels maybe required to grow all the plants)
 
| Medium
 
| High
 
| [[User:IsobelJ|IsobelJ]]
 
| It may be possible to use [[ultra-growth potion]] (an untradeable drop from hard mode [[giant mole]]) to skip waiting wait for stages to advance.
 
 
Particular attention should be given to images for [[maple seed]], [[magic seed]], [[yew seed]], [[spirit seed]], [[fruit tree seed]]s, and [[bloodweed seed]]s; as these trees' graphics have been updated.
 
|-
 
| '''Achievement pages'''
 
 
Recently we have decided to document achievements as separate pages on the wiki. Since there are a lot of achievements in-game, any help creating these pages is highly appreciated.
 
| Low
 
| Basic-Medium
 
| Small (per page), Large (total)
 
| [[User:ThePsionic|ThePsionic]]
 
| A quick-start template is available at [[User:ThePsionic/Sandbox 2]] - open the source editor, copy the contents, and paste it into a new page in order to quickly make achievement pages.
 
 
Also note that all achievements should be in Title Case (eg. Back to the Freezer).

Latest revision as of 03:16, 9 June 2020

This is a list of ideas for improvements to the wiki that have suggested but which no editors are currently working on. Any interested users may take on one of these projects. You can suggest a project on this article's talk page.

  • Game knowledge is split into four main descriptions based upon the width and depth required - none, low, medium, high
  • Wikicode knowledge is given a few main qualifiers:
    • Basic - essentially just being able to write basic articles with any editor (VisualEditor guide)
    • Medium - being able to edit in source mode for better use of images and templates, or for easily bulk editing (source mode guide)
    • Advanced - being able to use more advanced source mode functions, from calculations to template parameters to subst and more
    • Modifiers - additions to mark specific things that you may need for editing
      • +DPL - best tackled with Dynamic Page Lists, either to generate lists needed, or in the solution (DPL guide)
      • +SMW - likely involves using Semantic MediaWiki
      • +Lua - will likely require writing/editing a lua module (lua guide)
      • +AWB - involves so many pages in a simple way that you should probably utilise AutoWikiBrowser (AWB guide)
      • +JS/CSS - involves writing/editing custom Javascript and/or CSS
  • Project size is how big the project 'feels', thinking about things like how many pages it affects, how long each page will take, etc. A medium project may involve a quick edit to a large number of pages, or a significant edit to a single page.
