Revision as of 05:03, 23 July 2014
To start editing the site, the first thing you need to do is to login. As a next step, you may wish to read the Style Guide. Here are some possible next steps for how to help expand WikiSpooks...
Contents
- 1 New pages to create
- 2 Existing pages to edit
- 3 Pages to add data to
- 3.1 943 Pages missing Descriptions
- 3.2 1 Page with an overlong description
- 3.3 215 Unsourced Documents
- 3.4 77 Documents of unspecified Type
- 3.5 34 Subjectless Documents
- 3.6 49 Pages with hardcoded data tables and lists
- 3.7 4,514 Articles which use infobox templates with no data rows
- 3.8 238 Missing Images
New pages to create
Your Own Topic
It's easy to start a new page - you just need to choose a title. If you're an experienced researcher, you won't need telling where to edit. Any page where you have opinions which are politically unwelcome on Wikipedia is likely to be a good topic, especially if you have specialist knowledge. Be bold! Starting a page is the best way to get help from other editors, who will pitch in and contribute what they can. Choose a title for the page and then enter it in to the URL (or make a link to it and then follow the link). As above, then click on 'Create page'.
Broken Links
Browsing the site you'll sometimes see a link in red, which is a warning that it links to a page which hasn't been made yet. For example, there's nothing here yet about Google. To start a page like this, first click the link and then click on 'Create page'. A fast way to find broken links is to see this list of wanted pages.
Existing pages to edit
Your User Page
Every Wikispooks user has User page - i.e. a page assigned specially for them to write as much (or as little) as they like about themselves - or anything else. Unless you modified it, your user page will only have the short bio you sent when you made a login. Writing more about yourself or uploading a photo could be a good start in getting to know other users.
Recent Changes
One of the best ways to encourage your fellow Wikispooks editors is to improve the pages they are working on -- even if it's something as simple as fixing a typo in one of their recent contributions. The Recent changes link on the left will show you the most recently worked on pages.
5 Templates with Problems
Wikispooks has a list of templates which are not working properly. These are all in active use, so would be a great help to the site if you can fix templates.
19 Untidy Pages
If would like to help tidy up, whether you're a re-organiser or a proof reader, see the list of untidy pages - pages which have good information on them, but for one reason or another do not present it well.
47 Priority Pages
Wikispooks has a list of priority pages - pages which relate to deep politics. Contributions on these pages are particularly welcome.
9,502 Stubs
Wikispooks has a list of pages which are 'stubs' - i.e. little more than a title and a link or two - and so could really benefit from even a few minutes of work.
Pages to add data to
It you're looking for a small job which could be done in a couple of minutes, there are plenty of tasks other than working on complete articles:
943 Pages missing Descriptions
Each page on Wikispooks should have a description, the box containing the summary paragraph at the top. However, this standard was only fixed in 2014, so most of them don't yet. Here is a list of Category:Undescribed Pages.
1 Page with an overlong description
Each description should be less than 500 characters. This is a category for pages with overlong descriptions.
215 Unsourced Documents
Some of the documents on Wikispooks are from unknown sources. A bit of Googling could quite likely turn up a source for most of the Category:Unsourced Documents.
77 Documents of unspecified Type
Some of the documents on Wikispooks do not have a document type. It doesn't take long to decide which documentType is appropriate for most of the Category:Untyped Documents.
34 Subjectless Documents
Some of the documents on Wikispooks do not have any specified subjects, so are excluded from cross referenceing elsewhere on Wikispooks. The subject should be a comma separated list of WikiSpooks pagenames (whether or not they yet exist). See Category:Subjectless Documents for a list of such pages.
49 Pages with hardcoded data tables and lists
Some pages on Wikispooks still contain hardcoded data tables or lists of items that would be more functional if replaced by dynamically generated tables that were created from SMW data. See Category:Pages with hardcoded data tables and lists for a list.
4,514 Articles which use infobox templates with no data rows
Pages in this category use a semantic object template (good), but have not got any data items associated with it (probably bad). See the Category:Articles which use infobox templates with no data rows category.
238 Missing Images
Many pages on Wikispooks have no images at all. Uploading images is pretty straightforward, and is a good way to increase the clarity and appeal of articles. Here is a list of Category:Pages with broken file links, most of which are missing images.
