TWC Wiki:Things to do
Looking for things to do to help the Wiki? Please see below!
For general editing advice please visit the help page.
Content
New and expanded content about the Total War Games their Mods and Modding, and about the Total War Center is always welcome. The areas listed below are currently in particular need of attention:
TWC Member's pages
Akar is currently volunteering to make pages for TWC members on request.
- Volunteer/s; User:Akar
Total War Tutorial Indexes
Attempting to get up-to-date tutorial indexes for each game on the wiki, so that they can be updated in future instead of the forum versions. Please see TWC Wiki:Tutorial Indexes Project
TWC Information Project
Trying to rationalise the way we organise information about TWC - and provide an easy path from the front page to information a new user would want to find about TWC (without dumping them into minor/dead-end pages). Please see TWC Wiki:TWC Info Project
TWC FAQ page
Now also part of the above Info Project - updating/re-working the main TWC:FAQ page. Please see TWC Wiki:FAQ project

Maintenance
The Special Pages area gives access to a variety of Maintenance Reports that can be used to find things that need fixing on the Wiki.
Clean Up and Stubs Categories
Look in Category:Cleanup and Category:Stubs for things that other people have marked as in need of work, and pick something that interests you to work on. Also whilst viewing the Wiki if you spot more things that should be in those categories for others to fix (there are probably a lot) add {{Cleanup}} or {{stub}} to the article so it gets sent to the relevant category. In the case of 'Cleanup' please also explain what you think needs to be done to the article on its discussion page.
Regular Updates
These areas of the Wiki are designed to have regularly changed or updated content.
Mod Finder Tables
The Mod Finder Tables should be updated with the date of any new release or update, and new mods should be added to the tables.
Portals
The portal pages are all designed in the expectation of having some sorts of regular updates, such as changes to the mod-spotlights or the lists of 'recent' releases. Please feel free to update the lists or change spotlights. The only exception would be if there's a note in comments on the spotlight saying it should remain in place until 'x' date.
Technical / Design Issues
These issues are likely to require staff members with access to the site-wide interface files to make the final edits to change css classes etc, but if you're interested in helping with these you can test and demonstrate possible solutions in your User pages by using your custom.css/.js pages.
TWC Coloured Skin
Previous draft Anisa skin wasn't adopted, partly due to issues with Anisa's suitability for mobiles. Suggested attempt to do similar re-skin based on the default MonoBook skin.

Template Colours & CSS Classes
Templates such as Template:Mod Information Table had the background colour coded in for each cell. If possible we need to;
- Make sure all similar templates use the same CSS class
- Include the colour coding for heading sections etc in Common.css, preferably with bland grey Wikipedia type colouring to suit most standard skins.
- Remove the background colour over-rides on the templates
- Include an adjustment to the colour in the twc.css and any other custom skin.
- Update note; this was largely done - Makanyane needs to recheck...
Wiki Team Projects
The Wiki Staff are currently working on expanding the following sections, do feel free to edit these sections too, but if you are planning on doing a lot of work in the section please contact the Wiki Team to coordinate work.
