|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}}.

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:

|title = Template Data
|helper = {{User|Banri}}
|img = Earth Icon.png
|task = Adding TemplateData to templates.
|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.

|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.

Basically everything that the Mod shows in the store needs to be acquired.
The following list is what is needed from each mod:
* Name - Name of the Mod
* ImageName - The Image Name can be either found via right-clicking the image of the mod icon and clicking '''''Inspect''''' and looking at the div tag of what the name is or by right-clicking and clicking on save image to see what the image name is. From there, Noresist can send Banri the required icons to start uploading.
* Location - This would be the location of the mod. Example: Location: Armor. This info is usually displayed on the mod info itself.
* Required Level
* Item level
* Mod ID
* Install Multiple? Yes or No
* Attribute(s) Info
* Description of Mod
* Cost
* Reputation Required
* Condition - The condition either: Yes (Craftable), No (Not Craftable, only purchased) or Both (Craftable and Purchasable).
* Materials Required - If the Mod is Craftable, The list of materials and amounts needed are required.
 
'''How To Submit The Info?'''<br>
You can submit this info either by a text document, word doc, or excel.

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.


'''What Is Needed?'''<br>
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.
Basically all one has to do is get the raw data files from Banri (.txt files) (Or if another user has them too) and use them to input the required data into the Mods page, utilizing the [[Template:Modbox|Mod Infobox Template]] for each mod. The text documents were made by other users from another task in preparation for this finalization.
}}
 
'''How Do I Start?'''<br>
# Request for the Text Document for the Location you wish to complete.
# Check to see if the Location headings in the [[Game Interface]] page are all correct. If it is missing a sub-section heading, let Banri know what they all are so you can start creating the subpages to input the data.
# After your done, make sure to have the task coordinator check your work.


'''Notes'''
[[Category:Gem Wiki projects]]
When creating the Mods subpage to add the mod data, make sure you are looking for the sub-section heading '''''Mods''''' or '''''Mod Store'''''. There either will be a red link that reads {{red|Game Interface/LocationName/Mods}} which you can click to create the subpage. Or there will an existing page with an image, in which case you will have to look above where you see the '''''View History''''' button and hover over the '''''More''''' button and then proceed to '''''Subpages''''' where you can find the existing page you want to add the Mod data to.

To start this task, Navigate to this page, and view its source. The new format is the {{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 {{Display title}}.

Redirects and Disambiguation

Redirect Pages need to be made

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.

To start this task, follow the steps below:
  1. Familiarize yourself with how Redirecting works by reading the guide here.
  2. Familiarize yourself with how Disambiguation works by reading the guide here, and also the template documentation linked on the page.
  3. Read the documentation of Template:Shortcut. This template works with shortened names and abbreviated for redirects on the wiki.
  4. 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.

Update history

Add the patch notes from different updates to relevant pages

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.

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 here.

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

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 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.
