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.

LordGreystoke422's videos

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.--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... --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?--Jonpro 18:55, 14 April 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.--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? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zoey (talkcontribs) .
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 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.--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!! --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.--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. --JayHenry 11:05, 25 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.--Jonpro 22:04, 21 April 2007 (CDT)

Done! I went through a bunch of the subcategories too and categorized them. Hopefully this will be good (for now at least!) Let me know if there's anything else :) --Zoey 16:42, 22 April 2007 (CDT)
Thanks for getting that done...looks like it was a fair amount of work. From what I can tell it looks great. I'll be sure to add anything that I see that needs to be done.--Jonpro 18:00, 22 April 2007 (CDT)
