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]].

== LordGreystoke422's videos ==

== Constant Updates ==
 
+
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)
+
 
+
:::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)
+
 
+
::::On the community portal, it says that the LGPedia loves fan fiction. While LG422 isn't claiming to be anybody (a party guest, an old British friend, etc.), he is fan fiction, sort of like [[Bubbleteagirl]]. Bubbleteagirl's videos don't have pages, but I think they should and I think that LG422's should too. Feedback? [[User:SilverBULLETx3|SilverBULLETx3]] 14:59, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
+
 
+
:::::I mentioned something similar on [[Talk:My Hero Deserves a Name]], but I'm still not really decisive on the issue. [[LordGreystoke422]]'s page has a summary of his videos, so is it really necessary to transcribe each one? There's a balance, I think, between having a video page for every video even remotely connected to LG15 and only including stuff that's [[canon]]. Obviously neither extreme is ideal, but we have to decide where we should fall on that continuum. Oh, and there's also the practical side too--does anyone really want to transcribe all of LG422's videos?--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 15:23, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
+
 
+
::::::I would volunteer for the task of making all the video pages, including Transcript and Notes sections, and including the video templates with information completed. I'm not the best transcriber, so I'd leave that task to somebody else. [[User:SilverBULLETx3|SilverBULLETx3]] 15:44, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
+
 
+
::::::: If someone is going to actually sit down and transcribe his soliloquy-heavy hours of videos, I'd say fine.  I really think it would take days.  I just don't really see anyone doing that -- and I might question the mental health of someone who survived that experience :)  He appears to have made his last video months ago.  Unless someone volunteers to transcribe I'd vote not to create 50 permanently incomplete pages. --[[User:JayHenry|JayHenry]] 15:57, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
+
::::::::Definitely.  I applaud Silver's enthusiasm for chronicling LG422's videos, but we should take them one at a time.  If you're a slow transcriber, that's not a problem, just take your time.  However, I certainly don't want 50 pages of just video templates with no transcripts, especially since we don't know who is going to do them some day, if ever.  That isn't helpful to anyone.  [[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 16:22, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
+
:::::::::Okay, cool. I won't create the video pages, however, if somebody (all I've noticed is that [[User:Zoey|Zoey]] has transcribed a lot, and I mean a lot, of the new girl videos) volunteered to transcribe them, me and the transcriber could work together on it. They'd tell me when they're ready to transcribe the next video, I'd create the page, they'd transcribe it. So, that's my hypothesis. [[User:SilverBULLETx3|SilverBULLETx3]] 17:07, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
+
 
+
I don't actually think my sanity levels would permit me to transcribe all of those videos :P.  Right now it seems like the pages are just sitting around.  Unless someone has an objection really, I think I'm going to delete the video pages and just leave the main page for LG422.  What do people think about that? --[[User:Zoey|Zoey]] 13:10, 7 June 2007 (CDT)

== Timeline ==
+
 
+
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 updated.  I 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)
+
 
+
:::Hm, what if we totally got rid of the plot info on [[Lonelygirl15]] and just refered people to [[The Story So Far...]]  I personally vote for deleting the following pages: [[Breeniverse Timeline]], [[Catch Up]], and [[Newcomer Guide]].  I feel like Breeniverse Timeline is redundant... and that the other two are really more "crazy fan things" than actual informative pages.  The [[LGPedia:Welcome]] looks like it covers the info that [[Newcomer Guide]] and [[Catch Up]] really ''should'' cover and is nice and consice and to the point.  Maybe the language can be spiffed up a bit, but other than that.. it really does refer people to the pages that need refering to.  Once its cleaned up slightly, I would say we could even go ahead and put it on the main page.  I think people might find it helpful.  If no one has any objections, maybe you could go ahead and delete those three pages.. and I'm happy to fix up those minor things on LG15 page and the Welcome page.  Please, I'd really love people's opinions though!--[[User:Zoey|Zoey]] 16:48, 22 April 2007 (CDT)
+
 
+
::::I'm with you on wanting others' opinions. It's much easier to know if doing something is a good idea when people give their input. Anyway, for [[Lonelygirl15]], deleting the plot info sounds fine as long as we direct people to [[The Story So Far...]]. I'll add delete tags to the three pages you mentioned, but I don't think I should delete a page until we've waited a couple days for people to give their thoughts on the issue. I do see ''some'' value in [[Breeniverse Timeline]], but perhaps the information that's worth keeping could be merged into other articles. As a matter of fact, [[LGPedia:Welcome]] is linked to from the [[Main Page]], but it's hard to see--it's the word "Welcome" at the very top of the page. I think most people probably aren't seeing the link so that page doesn't get as much traffic as would be ideal. If you or anyone else wants to work on [[Lonelygirl15]] and [[LGPedia:Welcome]], that'd be great. I think the thing we lack the most here is actual article writing, so anything we can get in that area is greatly appreciated.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 17:52, 22 April 2007 (CDT)
+
 
+
:::::I've always wanted to improve the welcome/help/newcomer section, but I haven't had the time to work on this that I used to.  I think redesigning the Breeniverse timeline to only include major events would be preferable to outright deletion.  It's hard to keep track, oh when did they first go on the run?  When did her dad get shot? etc.  Major events would be good to keep track of, but "Bree posted the video [[What Makes Us Sad?]]" probably doesn't need to be noted. --[[User:JayHenry|JayHenry]] 11:05, 25 April 2007 (CDT)
+
 
+
::::::That seems to be the consensus that we reached on [[Talk:Breeniverse Timeline]], so I think we'll go with that.
+
 
+
== Catch Up page ==
+
 
+
Before we delete [[Catch Up]], it would be good to go through and copy some useful information about some of the videos into their notes sections. See [[Talk:Catch Up]] for a discussion of this.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 11:22, 25 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)

== GuillotineCalamity videos ==
 
 
[[GuillotineCalamity]] has a bunch of [[:Category:GuillotineCalamity videos|videos]] that don't have pages yet. If anyone has nothing to do, they can start creating the pages and writing the transcripts.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 14:05, 23 May 2007 (CDT)
 
 
:Eh, this was another one I wasn't sure whether actually needed individual video pages.  What do people think?  --[[User:Zoey|Zoey]] 14:27, 23 May 2007 (CDT)
 
 
::Well, I made a template (that could use major cleanup) for GuillotineCalamity videos at [[Template:Sister]], and started pages for her first two videos, [[Photography in Motion]] and [[file20.mov]], and started the [[GC Seasons]] page. The job is too exhausting for me. Either delete what I've done, or finish the job. [[User:SilverBULLETx3|silverX3]] 17:37, 23 May 2007 (CDT)
 
 
Since no one has volunteered for the task, and SilverX3 said to go ahead and delete the pages if no one objects, I think it's safe to just remove the video pages?  Does anyone object...?  --[[User:Zoey|Zoey]] 13:10, 7 June 2007 (CDT)

The CiW video pages are another thing that have just been sitting around for a while.  There 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.  But yeah, if someone is up to it, I think it's a "task" worth doing.  Thoughts? --[[User:Zoey|Zoey]] 13:10, 7 June 2007 (CDT)

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.

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)
