Portal:To Do

A page for keeping track of projects that need doing and articles that need fixing/writing

Wiki-wide Projects

• Fix search drop down not working Issue with Wikibase and requesting non-SSL data
• Go through and set descriptions for media files to make them more easily searchable
• I want to create a center column on the bottom of the front page between the featured media section and the socials section. I think it will take some CSS changes. A lot easier than Id expected

Archiving Projects

• Import Friend Zone forums into the Wideboys forums Uploaded the entire old site in its entirety, but did reorganize the existing BMW forums
• Add loose SQL/DB files to MEGUMIN-VM for easier access Mostly done, but done on ABIGAIL-SERVER via a WAMP stack for easier use. All existing DBs can now be accessed locally from phpmyadmin.
• Find a solution for hosting old Discord logs (Update 3/25/25: Still no solution found. There may not even BE a solution and at this point the old logs are so arcane and bloated it would be a nightmare.)

Articles

• People articles are in the worst shape. They need the most attention and the most fleshing out and preferably should be written by the person themselves.

• Category:Stubs: All of these articles either need to be finished

Specific Lore

The following categories contain articles that specific people can help expand on

• Category:Prude Lore / Category:Tevin_Lore_Needed- Articles that Prude would be most knowledgeable in expanding
• Category:CST Lore - Not holding my breath
• Category:Unknowable - Articles that may never be truly finished as those with the most knowledge are not in contact
• Category:Tim Lore Needed

How to update the Front Page

Updating the main page isn't as easy as just editing the front page. All the different sections are actually templates made into subpages as seen below. Many are locked as they don't need to ever be changed.

Top

• Template:WIDEWIKI/Header - The intro header. Locked as there's nothing there than needs to ever be changed.
• Template:WIDEWIKI/News - Unlocked, freely editable but if you have to change it follow the doc
• Template:WIDEWIKI/Contents - Locked
• Template:WIDEWIKI/Contents Lower - Locked

Left Column

• Template:WIDEWIKI/YouTube - Locked
• Template:WIDEWIKI/Featured images - Locked, but read page for more information on adding Featured Images

Center Column

• Template:WIDEWIKI/Timeline - Locked, you can update it from uploading an updated version of the image

Right Column

• Template:WIDEWIKI/Events - Locked, see the pages doc for how to add events
• Template:WIDEWIKI/Discord - Locked, no reason to change unless the URL changes and Taylor can handle that
