Introduction

The goal of this project is to improve the use of the wiki, both for pirates and non-pirates. The wiki is a workplace and our memory. To be transparent we need to make sure that information can be easily found and is presented in a way that is easy to understand. If we want people to use this wiki as such, we need to make sure that we keep the threshold for using the wiki as low as possible.

Board

This board is used to present the changes that can or need to be made and also to give an idea of the improvement we are making in general. You see that the board has a Proposals-section, a ToDo-section, a Doing-section and a Done-section. The Proposals section is to give proposals (of course :p ). You can write proposals to improve the wiki in the pad. We can't guarantee that everything on this pad will be executed, but it will be taken into account.
When making a proposal, please be clear about what exactly it is that you want, state a clear goal, possibly with examples.
Things that are decided that need to be done come in the #ToDo section. When someone starts on this project, they can move this to the #Doing section and then to the #Done section once the goal is reached.
Because the wiki changes (definitely during this project), it is possible that things from the #Done section return to the #ToDo or #Doing section.

Proposals

ToDo

  • Wiki-manual
    • Add the use of the different Forms to the manual.
    • Update the pad-section. We now have pads that do use https, so the warning that pads might not show must be updated.
      • There are still pads on the wiki without https, so the warning should be kept. I would just change the sentence to say that some pads will show up as a blank and ugly rectangle. --HgO (talk) 20:25, 28 February 2017 (CET)
    • Add a link to the Help:Conventions somewhere
    • Split the manual into chapters
      • I think that the manual would be more readable if we split it into chapters. We would thus have smaller pages --HgO (talk) 20:25, 28 February 2017 (CET)
  • survival guide
    • The Dutch version of the guide needs some touch-ups, rephrasing of certain sentences and added translations.
  • New links for the top and sidebars
  • Create a lexicon
  • Crew form
    • Add translations for some labels
  • Translate the wiki
