Introduction[]
Welcome to the To-Do List!
As the name suggests, this to-do list encompasses the entire wiki. Here, you can find a variety of different tasks you can do to improve the Indie Game Bundle Wiki.
Some tasks may require more skill than usual, so be advised and extra careful when editing pages you are unfamiliar with. If you think there is a problem with a page, but you don't know how to fix it, please leave a note in the Comments or Talk section of that page to draw attention to it.
Before you begin any of these tasks, be sure to read Editing Guidelines (Special Notes) and Help:Getting started.
Content to be Added[]
- Add new bundles as they become available to the Current Bundles page.
- Try to create individual Bundle pages before a bundle ends. It's easiest to get accurate information about the bundle (bonuses, distribution types, charities) while it is still available.
- Go through Bundle pages and check that the Games listed have individual Game pages, and that the individual Game pages list the game as being in the Bundle. Note: When adding a bundle to a game page, insert it into the list in date order. Also note that for Template:inbundle, platform icons are used to indicate a DRM-free copy was distributed.
- Go through Bundle pages make sure the details are all complete. Also correct mistakes, and remove any inappropriate statements.
- Go through games on the Keys Added page and make sure the Game pages have Steam/Desura Store ID entries and that the bundle listings have the new key. Then go to the individual Bundle pages and make sure the appropriate key section (Steam, Desura, etc) mentions that a key was added for the game on the date specified.
- Wanted Pages - These are pages which are linked to, but do not exist. Priority for creation: Bundles, Games, Charities, Developers.
- Help expand some article stubs
- Status: 176 remaining.
- Short Pages - These are pages which are short in length. They may need more information or need to be deleted. Please mark pages that need expanding as article stubs.
