Wiki clean-up

From Pumping Station: One Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

This page is to plan the wiki clean up begun on 12/9/11


Contents

Front page

  1. Determine front-page appropriate information vs front-page-linked appropriate
  2. Move info better linked to appropriate pages
  3. Reorganize front page, removing extra info
  4. Style front page with infoboxes/templates
  5. Determine other index-style information appropriate to front page and add additional infoboxes/templates

Categories

Wiki needs categories for:

  • Certification
  • Certification and can/willing to teach
  • Materials tools can be used on
  • Member categories & interests (BoD members, woodworking, programmers, etc)

All categories need to be created and then all pages reviewed for appropriate adds.

Additionally, categories should be created for pages that need things like

  • Review by area host
  • Infoboxes needed
  • Photographs needed
  • additional writing needed

Redirects and meta information

  1. Review all tool pages for potential short names/lay person names (ex: laser cutter now redirects to the Epilog)
  2. Create redirects if appropriate
  3. If redirects not appropriate, create disambiguation pages
  4. If disambiguation pages not appropriate, create meta information on each page for search optimization

Additional Content

Each tool page should have:

  • Lay description: 1-2 sentences explaining what the tool does, understandable by someone who is completely unfamiliar with the process/terms of art
  • Specs of tool for people well-versed who may need information for projects
  • Links to any information including manuals that are on the web
  • Appropriate tags for hosted area, materials allowed

Hosted Area pages should have:

  • rules
  • safety
  • tools available
  • equipment/materials available
  • certifications

New Pages:

  • Hosted Area pages
  • Tools not yet on the site

Infoboxes and templates

  • Hosted Area w/ host info
  • Tool information (cleaned up)
  • User info (optional but easy way for user pages to be created)
