# Legacy:UnrealWiki To Do

### From Unreal Wiki, The Unreal Engine Documentation Site

> The wiki is both your resource and your responsibility. Even if you have limited experience or available time, you can help.

> Do one thing to help the wiki every day!

A wiki doesn't run itself. It's a bit like a garden: things grow, and you need to keep it tidy with a bit of trimming and weeding. Wikis rely heavily on Wiki:WikiGnomes to stay healthy.

This page lists things you can do to help. If you have a spare moment, there's always little things each of us can do that add up to make a big difference in the usability of this place.

## Things To Do

### Quick stuff

Got a couple of minutes? Click on Random Page and...

- Clean up any misspelled page titles: Put [[Legacy:Hello World|Hello World]], not [[Legacy:Hello_World|Hello_World]].
- Wikify new pages: Create inline links, add a "Related Topics" section, move any comments to a "Discussion" section.
- Tag long thread mode discussions with Category:Legacy Refactor Me and a brief note on what specific info needs to be merged with the page text.
- Tag pages that need obvious work with Category:Legacy To Do, include a brief description of the work needed as a note next to the tag.
- Tag pages with Category Tags from the list found in Category:Legacy Category. Tag class pages with Category:Legacy Class (UT), Category:Legacy Class (UT2003) or Category:Legacy Class (UT2004).
- Browse through Category:Legacy Category pages and identify those pages in every category that don't belong there; then either remove the wrong category links on those pages or "screen" them by adding an extra vertical bar at the end of the link, like `Category:Legacy Category`.
- Clean up class pages: (As an example, see MinigunAttachment. It was originally posted with only the Source Code.)
  - Add class hierarchy bar at the top. (Example, {{classbox| [[Legacy:UT2003|UT2003]] :: [[Legacy:Actor|Actor]] >> [[Legacy:Pawn|Pawn]]}}: see Guidelines On Technical Names for more.) Include package name in parentheses.
  - Add properties; Main and Hidden, including variable type and any remarks from the code.
  - Add important or unique functions and events, try to include brief descriptions and the argument variables with variable types.
  - Add states, try to include brief descriptions.
  - Tidy up and update subclass trees, then tag with Category:Legacy Class Tree. (See NavigationPoint as an example)

### A Bit Longer

About half an hour...

- Create a page that people have made links to, but which doesn't yet exist. Category:Legacy Wanted Pages gives a list of these. Or browse through Category:Legacy Class Tree pages and fill in important class pages that don't exist yet.
- Find WikiTags and deal with them:
  - Category:Legacy Refactor Me tags: Clean up bits of discussion (MeatBall:ThreadMode) and refactor it into Wiki:DocumentMode
  - Category:Legacy Link Me tags: Find the page the writer was thinking of and link it
  - Category:Legacy Answer Needed tags: Try to answer the question the writer couldn't answer himself and integrate it into the page instead of starting to write in MeatBall:ThreadMode.

### Big Jobs

Expect to eat dinner late...

- Pick a page from Category:Legacy To Do and make it better! Follow the notes given on the tag.
- Clean up main topic pages: Find pages that have poor or outdated organization and re-organize, re-link to make it applicable to all versions. Make them useful hubs for information and quick reference.
- Clean up tutorial pages: Try to make applicable to all versions, simplify them by judiciously editing and inserting of basic procedure links. If you can find a link to a UT200x version page, link to it.
- Clean up images, make a list on Images of files we can delete (or delete them yourself)
  - Find unused images
  - Find duplicates
  - Find dross (defined)
- Find pages which essentially duplicate each other and merge them. After an old page has been merged, tag it with Category:Legacy Delete Me and a brief explanation of why it should be deleted and where the info has been merged.
