Todo

A list of things to do to improve the wiki.

Items marked with are things we are targeting to get done before opening the wiki to the public.

When an item is done, delete it from the list.

Events

• Add summary/overview of general event concepts, e.g.
  • Typical event structure, i.e. Nodes
  • Player Brackets
  • Types of Rewards (progression, individual, coalition)
  • The meaning of different event types (e.g. PvE vs PvP)
  • The basics of Coalitions
• Create pages for events which aren't yet added
• Consider what images to add to each event page to improve event recognisability and visual appeal
• Figure out how best to include event-specific or node-specific strategy content to each Event page
• Add ways for people to link to external user-created content, particularly for events
  • Suggested decks for event nodes
  • YouTube walk-throughs (example from another wiki: https://exvius.gamepedia.com/Yearning_For_Peace)

Story

• Add pages for the remaining 3 Story levels: Training (Story), Battle for Zendikar (Story), and Heroic Encounters (Story))
• Add sections to each Story page summarising each Story Chapter

Planeswalkers

• Add starting deck and the "theme decks" to each PW page
• Add lore to infobox for each PW (race, birthplace, allies, etc)
• Add concise game-oriented info to each PW page. E.g. how good the PW is; basic strategy guide for Loyalty abilities (which abilities to use when); what style of deck works best (control/aggro/...); whether the PW is required for specific events; any known bugs; etc (any other pertinent PW-specific info useful to players).
• Add a page describing Deck slots
• Move PW data into data templates

Cards

• Add page for Promo cards
• Add set-specific info to each Cards set page, e.g. notable cards, how the mechanics play, feel of power level, lore, etc
• Determine whether/how to present each card's own page (e.g. infobox + card image + basic content template?)
• Add page on Crafting
• Consider adding pages for tokens and other card-like things, similar to pages for cards
  • Creature Tokens
    • Leaders?
  • Support Tokens
  • Permanent Supports (are these technically tokens?)

Guides

• Consider what guides could be useful, e.g.
  • How to choose gem match
  • How the AI chooses a gem match
  • How to build a deck
  • How to spend resources efficiently
  • Guide to Planeswalkers
  • Guide to Card Sets
  • Guide to Coalitions
• Add a Guides portal page showing existing and wanted guides
• Add or fix cross-links between reference pages and guide pages

Other/General

• Determine launch plan
• Make the Main page look great. Ideas:
  • Rework as an effective portal to the wiki content
  • Beautify, remove placeholder text
  • Link to other useful mtgpq sites
  • Implement automated "card of the day" style content
• Add a Community Portal, including some kind of editing guide
• Add pages on Gameplay, possibly with sub-pages such as Gem board, Gems, and Matching
• Rework Template:Portal navigation to use icons
• Rework some existing message box templates (e.g. Template:Enraged and similar) to use Template:Mbox
• Consider granting more access to server operations (Octal9 is helpful but time-limited, there is currently a bottleneck on server tasks). Current server task queue:
  • Card data: Fix saga mana cost
  • Card data: Upload data template redirects from first name of 2-sided card to both//sides
  • Card data: Re-upload ZVE and M19 cards with sub-types and abilities
  • Planeswalker data: Export data for Sarkhan Unbroken from mtgpq.info
  • Card images: Upload all
