SporeWiki:Community Portal

[edit] Spore discussion

The chat page is a place specifically for discussing Spore. Tired of articles and categories and special pages? Come to the chat page to kick back and talk about Spore in a friendly, casual way, much like a forum discussion.

[edit] To do:

[edit] One-time tasks

• Fill in original concepts.
• Deal with the improper case titles of some categories.
• Change links that link to pages with "wrong" case to the correct one.
• All (Concept) and (Game) pages should be renamed to (concept) and (game). There's a lot of them, so we probably need some kind of script/bot to do this.

[edit] Repeated tasks

• Expand stubs.
• Expand or delete speculation articles.
• Mark deletable articles with {{afd}}.
• Expand one of the articles requiring information.
• Mark articles that need to be merged with another article with {{merge|Other Article}} to articles which should be simply a section or subsection of some "Other Article".
• Welcome new editors.

[edit] Needs work

Improve articles in the articles requiring work category. Although focus on the critical ones.

[edit] Requested articles

Create articles that have been requested by other users. don't make the (Game) pages until they can be made in-game.

[edit] Check-ups:

These are tasks that will need to be done occasionally every certain amount of time.

• Change all double redirects so they redirect to the correct page first.
• Create the destination page of, or change broken redirects.
• Find a (non-orphaned) article that orphaned pages can be linked from. Perhaps the category they are a part of. If it is a "(Game)" or "(Concept)" page, make sure the portal for that content has been created. If it is a portal, link in from the appropriate database. If it is a disambiguation page, leave it as-is.
• Link Dead-end pages to other pages in some way.
• Place all uncategorizeed images into the correct image gallery.
• Patrol the recent changes for vandalism.
• Be sure the database templates are up to date: {{creature database}}, {{hut database}}, {{building database}}, {{vehicle database}}, {{UFO database}}, {{flora database}}, {{terrain database}}, and {{solar system database}}

[edit] Goals:

• Creature, hut, building, vehicle, UFO, flora, terrain databases - Allow users to create their own user created content pages with screenshots and downloads of their creations.
• Concept art - Donated by gamers
• Image gallery - Have an image of everything important to spore and every image that a spore fan could be looking for.
• Statistics - Show and explain as much of Spore as possible.
• Guides - Show how to apply the statistics in survival or optimization.
• Become the premier source for everything regarding spore.
• Create a relaxing atmosphere for the users, through the art of aesthetics.

[edit] What do you think?

These are articles or talk pages where your input is needed for a certain question, disagreement, consensus, or anything else. Let's hear what you think.

• See articles requiring deliberation
• Comment on some of the Current proposals
• Make your own proposal for change

[edit] Information repository

The information repository is a place to dump internet article links or other bits of info to be disected and placed in the wiki. If you have Spore information, and you think we don't have it but you don't know where to put it, then post it here and we will place it where it belongs if it's new.
