|task=File Organization & Licensing
|desc=Organizing all image files uploaded to the wiki directory by categorizing and applying the correct licensing on relevant files.
|guidance=There are alot of uncategorized and unlicensed image files that need to be sorted and licensed to make things much cleaner and easier to find. There will also be once this project is done, a new directory which will provide the ability to search specific categories to locate images much faster.

# Visit: [[Special:UncategorizedFiles]] and [[:Category:Missing license subject]] then pick an image file to begin.
# Read the documentation of [[Template:License]]
# View both [[:File:Neptune_main.jpg]] and [[:File:Freighter token.png]], edit the source to get a finished example to see how it work in action.
# Make sure to document which images you have personally categorized and licensed so admins know how best to reward you. Admins will need to see the list of all the images you have done so make to write them down or keep track of your progress on your personal userpage.
# If you need help, you can contact the helper for this task in Discord, by pinging <code>oswf-helper</code> role.

|helper = {{User|Banri}}

|task = Reworking patch note pages to the new format.
|desc = With the new format for the Patch Note pages, All the current patch note pages need to be redone.
|guidance = To start this task, Navigate to [[Update:Patch_Notes_(2_February_2020)|this page]], and view its source. The new format is the {{t|Patch Notes}} template and also the ''context'' div box for the patch notes message. At the bottom of the page is the correct categorization. Note that patch notes from 2019 need to be categorized to 2019 and so on, this will categorize them correctly by year so it shows up automatically on [[2020]] page where all all the patch notes will be sorted chronologically by day and month automatically using a DPL. Be sure to also watch for the title of the page, Banri modified the code that runs this wiki to be able to hide the ''Update:'' namespace so the page only reads '''Patch Notes: (date)'''. You will also notice that the date is grey and abit smaller, this was the intended goal when hiding the namespace. If after submitting the final change with the patch notes template included and the namespace is still there...force it to hide by using {{t|Display title}}.

|guidance = 
To start this task, follow the steps below:
# Familiarize yourself with how Redirecting works by reading the guide [[GSWiki:Redirecting|here]].
# Familiarize yourself with how Disambiguation works by reading the guide [[GSWiki:Disambiguation|here]], and also the template documentation linked on the page.
# Read the documentation of [[Template:Shortcut]]. This template works with shortened names and abbreviated for redirects on the wiki.
# Every page the wiki needs some form of redirect or disambiguation, this ensures users are getting to the right pages they are searching for.
Note: It can also help to keep track of the [[Special:RecentChanges]] page to see if new pages by Noresist are made, or by other users and check to see if it needs shortcuts, redirects and other forms of formatting.

|title = Update history
|helper = {{User|Banri}}
|img = Earth Icon.png
|task = Add the patch notes from different updates to relevant pages
|desc = One of our newest (and most ambitious) projects is to document information about how game updates have affected content over time. Some editors are currently working through old patch notes and copying them on to pages of content that was affected by each patch.
|guidance = This information is organised chronologically in a new section called "Update history" which is being added to pages. You can help by doing this for the patch notes listed below. There is a project page which explains how to add in a new patch note [[GSWiki:Maintenance/Update history|here]].

Here's some that we have not been done yet:

|desc = Adding TemplateData to all templates which are missing TemplateData.
|guidance = 
Instructions:
Each and every template on this wiki must be made ready for Visual Editor which will be coming soon as Mediawiki itself fixes the bug that causes it to stop working on pages which already were made. Currently as of 10.09.2020, Noresist and I tested the Visual Editor and it works only on new pages being created and not existing ones, so we will need to wait until its patched. During this time, we can start adding TemplateData to all existing templates.

To start this task, visit [[User:Banri/TemplateData|this page]] to see a tutorial on how to go about adding the TemplateData. There is also a link there to all templates which are missing said TemplateData. That page does not need to be checked off when you finish with one, because the list is generated by a dynamic page list (or DPL) from the DynamicPageList3 Extension.

'''One Small Wiki Favor''' is a project to improve the Gemini Station Wiki, where wiki users can contribute to a number of ongoing wiki tasks. '''Anyone is welcome to participate''', whether you're completely new to the wiki or you've been here for a while. If you have not edited before, then this is a great time to get involved!

To participate in this project, take a look at the tasks below and find one that looks exciting. Each task has some advice on how to effectively tackle it, but we strongly recommend '''joining the [https://discord.gg/ChEMWDw <code>#wiki</code>] channel in our Discord''' to coordinate with other editors, and discuss the project. If you do not wish to create a discord account you get help via the [[GSWiki talk:One_Small_Wiki_Favor|talk (discussion) page]] or by contacting the co-ordinator via their talk page.

|title = Categories
|helper = OPEN
|img = Earth Icon.png
|task = Categorization on pages where necessary
|desc =
There are many pages on the wiki currently that are missing categories, categories that are incorrect and also pages with old categories which do not line up with the new category tree. (You can find this new tree on the sidebar called: '''Wiki Index''') 
|guidance =
To get started with this task, there are two paths but both need to be done.
# '''Old categories''' - You can find this by going to the old category tree, [[:Category:Gemini Station]], which needs to be deleted after its emptied. When it is empty, label the page with [[Template:Rfd]] so those with page deletion permissions can find it easily on the maintenance page. (Those with deletion permissions such as moderators and custodians can skip the labeling). Each page in the old categories need to be adjusted to the new category tree.
# '''Pages missing categories''' - Navigate to [[Special:UncategorizedPages]], [[Special:UncategorizedTemplates]] and [[Special:UncategorizedFiles]] to find the pages, templates and files that are missing categories and sort them using your best judgement with the new category tree. If you are confused or stuck, you can always ask for help.
