Filmography Categories
All of the main characters now have a Filmography Category. To add a toon to a character's filmography, you put a category link at the bottom of the toon's page, e.g. if Strong Bad is in Toon X, then on the Toon X page you put this at the bottom: [[Category:Strong Bad Filmography]]. That will make Toon X appear on the Strong Bad Filmography category page. The "Project" here is that many of the Toons and Emails currently don't have complete filmography links.
Cast (in order of appearance)
We'd like to standardize the way appearing characters are listed on toon pages. Many of them currently say "Featuring:" followed by a list of characters that appear in that toon. Instead, this should say something like this:
Cast (in order of appearance): Strong Bad, The Cheat
Notice that only the left part (up to and including the colon) is bold and the character names are not. And, of course, the characters should be in the order in which they appear in the toon. This is a project that may be most convenient if done in concert with the Filmography Categories project.
The Cast project has been completed from Full length toons to puppet stuff. Not sure about the rest.
Standardizing Pages
Though most of the pages from the old wiki have been moved here, many of them haven't been brought up to our new level of standardization, which can be found on the HRWiki:Standards page.
Wiki Cleanup
Dead End Pages, Orphaned Pages, etc.
There are a number of pages on the "Special Pages" list that are useful tools to keep the Wiki in tip-top condition.
- Orphans: Pages that are not linked to by any other page
- Dead End Pages: Pages that do not link to any other page
- Wanted Pages: Requested pages that do not exist yet
Before creating a new page, check that a suitable page does not already exist.
Merge and Redirect
Sometimes multiple pages are created for the same thing. If you find multiple pages that need merging, list them here or perform the cleanup yourself.
To cleanup this situation one will:
- Determine which page is the most suitable
- Move and integrate important information from the redundant pages to the proper page
- Use the What links here feature to list all the references to the redundant pages
- Fix all the found links to the appropriate page
- Turn the redundant pages into Redirects or add them to Category: To be deleted
