TASBot Wiki:Village pump

NEED MORE CONTENT in general (historians wanted). Fill out redlinks or add to existing articles (and category pages).

Categories are arguably a direct upgrade to articles in that pages can have multiple parent categories, and categories have a nice UI for navigating to subpages. The longer URI is why you shouldn't just use them for everything.

Embrace hypertext—link to other pages (and also other sites, such as Wikipedia), but do follow Wikipedia's linking guidelines (only link first mention, avoid adjacent links).

Use redirect shorthands as much as you like, with one exception: tagging pages with a category will not work if you use a redirect. You may still use the redirect when making a normal/inline link to the category page, such as [[:Category:SGDQ|]] ⟶ SGDQ.

Familiarise yourself with what templates exist. Hit up YoshiRulz on Discord if you want help making new ones.

TODOs for admins

• There are 5 pages to delete
• use dynamic content, or at least templates, for boxes on main page
  • I can draft this, but the main page is edit-restricted for obvious reasons --yoshi

TODOs

• finish moving event pages to Category namespace
  • GDQ (split and/or rename and/or merge w/ Category:Summer Games Done Quick)
  • MAGFest (split and/or rename and/or merge w/ Category:Super MAGFest)
  • MAGWest Go
• infobox for individuals
  • Done, but it doesn't render correctly when used in the main namespace (example)? I think it may be the same issue as this... a thread with no replies... There's also this, which was closed as a duplicate of a seemingly unrelated issue, but maybe the suggested fix for the latter is worth a try. --yoshi
• infobox for appearances: date/time, location, run/presentation, link to prev/next of type, link to prev/next

Qs for dwango:

• I take it the focus here is on history, so...
  • is there any point advertising upcoming events on the main page?
    • CONFIRM ("can't hurt; link to GitHub Project")
  • how much technical information should be here vs on TASVideos?
    • "we should put [technical info] on TASVideos. However, I have one pause here; there is a huge barrier to entry for TASVideos [wiki] at this time [...]"
• apart from Ambassadors, how should individuals be categorised?
  • "DWYW"
    • pages can be in multiple categories, so I guess could just have one cat per role/specialty?
  • to that end, a definition of "notability" for inclusion here would be helpful
    • "anyone who was credited for any event/showcase"
