This is a place to list tasks that need to be done on the [[LGPedia]]. If you notice anything that needs to be done, just [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=LGPedia:Tasks&action=edit&section=new add it to the list]. If you have a general question about the wiki or a suggestion on how to do something, please visit [[LGPedia:Lucy's Balcony|Lucy's Balcony]]. If you're looking for some general ideas for things that need to be done, try visiting the [[LGPedia:Community Portal|Community Portal]]. This page is mainly for work that is relatively simple but takes time and effort to do. Examples of these types of tasks are categorizing pages, transcribing videos, and fixing inconsistencies over a variety of pages. If you have a question or clarification about a certain task, or if you complete one of them, just post a comment in the appropriate section. Completed tasks will eventually be moved to the [[LGPedia:Tasks/Completed|completed tasks page]].

The [[LGPedia:Constant Updates|'''constant updates''']] page lists pages that frequently need updates on the LGPedia.  This is a very important ''task'' and anyone who wants to help keep this site up-to-date should visit that page and help out! --[[User:Zoey|Zoey]] 18:52, 16 June 2007 (CDT)
  
[[LordGreystoke422]] has ''a lot'' of videos, most of which don't have pages and some which do but don't have transcripts. Transcribing all of them will be a big task, but if anyone's up to it, then more power to them.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 01:33, 13 April 2007 (CDT)

:: Okay, maybe it's just me, but I personally don't really think LG422 even ''needs'' video pages. A lot of the fan video series don't have individual video pages, but just have a basic summary of their plotlines on a page for them. Especially since LG422 doesn't really claim to be a character.. and posts on the site and has his own userpage and everything.  Personally, I think the page that exsists already would probably suffice. I would love to hear people's thoughts on this though... --[[User:Zoey|Zoey]] 21:06, 13 April 2007 (CDT)

This is something I noticed being used on other wikis, and I think it's a good idea. For pages that describe the content of any category (like the [[Locations]] page), it makes sense to include that page in [[:Category:Locations]]. However, if it's listed among the actual locations, it looks like it's a location itself. To fix this, the page can be categorized with <nowiki>[[Category:Locations|*]]</nowiki> so that it will be the first item in the category and distinguishable from the rest. I've done this to a few pages, but there are more that this could be done for. A list of all the categories on the wiki can be found at [[Special:Categories]]. I hope this makes sense.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 14:50, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
  
:::Hmmm, good point. I just noticed that the first few videos had video pages but the rest didn't, so I figured they all should. Now I'm thinking it may not really be necessary. Other thoughts?--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 18:55, 14 April 2007 (CDT)

The CiW video pages are another thing that have just been sitting around for a whileThere is the [[Cassieiswatching|big summary page]] which sums everything up. If someone wants to go through and migrate some of that info to the video pages, I think that would be great! If not, maybe we should just delete the video pages? I just feel like it's silly to have a bunch of uninformative pages sitting around.

The [[Breeniverse Timeline]] page is only updated through February 13th, 2007. If the page is worth saving, it should probably be updated.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 14:56, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

:Yes, I was noticing that too.  I think a few of the pages are a bit redundant... and as they are all summarizations of the plot, it doesn't really seem reasonable to expect that they will be constantly updatedI feel like the [[lonelygirl15]] page and the [[Breeniverse Timeline]] don't really need plot info, as [[The Story So Far...]] is kept much more up to date and has the most accurate info?  I'm also wondering what the heck is up with the [[Newcomer Guide]], but I guess that's another story? Anyway, perhaps we should just get rid of the timeline page.. and remove plot info from the LG15 page... and really that would pretty effectively "clean it up". I just think it will be easier to keep things up to date and pretty-ful that way.  Thoughts? <small>—The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Zoey|Zoey]] ([[User talk:Zoey|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Zoey|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.</small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

::I agree that [[Lonelygirl15]] and [[Breeniverse Timeline]] shouldn't really have plot information. From scanning the section titles, it seems like [[Lonelygirl15]] is on the right track: "Revelations of fictionality" (is "fictionality" a word?), "Production Techniques", etc. are the things we need in that article. There is some plot on that page, though, and it probably should be removed. For the [[Breeniverse Timeline]] page, I'm not sure we even need as much information as what's there right now. Most of it is simply "____ posts the video _____". We can just look at the [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos|video page]] to find that information. I think the kinds of things that should be on that page are major plot moves like when [[Bree]] and [[Daniel]] go on the run and other related information like when Bree was born and so on. For [[The Story So Far...]], I like how that looks--very short summaries of the videos that give a nice overview of the plot. And that page is being updated fairly regularly. And I don't have a clue about the [[Newcomer Guide]] page, but the all-caps hurts my eyes. Other pages to consider looking at are [[Catch Up]] and [[LGPedia:Welcome]]. We really need to condense all of this stuff so that it actually makes sense.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 21:12, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

== More image categorization ==

+
There are a lot of images in the top image category [[:Category:Images]]. Not all of these can be put into existing categories, but some probably can. Also, if new categories can be created to categorize the rest, then that can be done too.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 22:04, 21 April 2007 (CDT)

:Done!  I went through a bunch of the subcategories too and categorized themHopefully this will be good (for now at least!)  Let me know if there's anything else :) --[[User:Zoey|Zoey]] 16:42, 22 April 2007 (CDT)

Latest revision as of 23:13, 7 July 2007

This is a place to list tasks that need to be done on the LGPedia. If you notice anything that needs to be done, just add it to the list. If you have a general question about the wiki or a suggestion on how to do something, please visit Lucy's Balcony. If you're looking for some general ideas for things that need to be done, try visiting the Community Portal. This page is mainly for work that is relatively simple but takes time and effort to do. Examples of these types of tasks are categorizing pages, transcribing videos, and fixing inconsistencies over a variety of pages. If you have a question or clarification about a certain task, or if you complete one of them, just post a comment in the appropriate section. Completed tasks will eventually be moved to the completed tasks page.

Constant Updates

The constant updates page lists pages that frequently need updates on the LGPedia. This is a very important task and anyone who wants to help keep this site up-to-date should visit that page and help out! --Zoey 18:52, 16 June 2007 (CDT)

Minor category technique

This is something I noticed being used on other wikis, and I think it's a good idea. For pages that describe the content of any category (like the Locations page), it makes sense to include that page in Category:Locations. However, if it's listed among the actual locations, it looks like it's a location itself. To fix this, the page can be categorized with [[Category:Locations|*]] so that it will be the first item in the category and distinguishable from the rest. I've done this to a few pages, but there are more that this could be done for. A list of all the categories on the wiki can be found at Special:Categories. I hope this makes sense.--Jonpro 14:50, 8 May 2007 (CDT)

CassieisWatching Video Pages

The CiW video pages are another thing that have just been sitting around for a while. There is the big summary page which sums everything up. If someone wants to go through and migrate some of that info to the video pages, I think that would be great! If not, maybe we should just delete the video pages? I just feel like it's silly to have a bunch of uninformative pages sitting around. But yeah, if someone is up to it, I think it's a "task" worth doing. Thoughts? --Zoey 13:10, 7 June 2007 (CDT)
