|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. | |||

|title = Patch Note Rework | |||
|helper = {{User|Banri}} | |||
|img = Earth Icon.png | |||
|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}}. | |||

|task = Redirect Pages need to be made | |||
|desc = Browsing the wiki needs to be smooth for users coming to the wiki for answers to questions or to browse what type of content Gemini Station has. Ensuring that they get to the destination their searching for is majorly important. | |||
|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]]. | |||

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. | |||

# '''Old categories''' - You can find this by going to the old category tree, [[Category:Gemini Station]], which needs to be deleted after its emptied.
