StarfieldWiki:Task List

This lists a wide range of specific projects and types of projects that editors have identified as needed. For more general ideas about what to do, see the Helping Out page. Official projects can be found on the Projects page.

All editors are welcome to add ideas or work on any idea listed here. Any task that is not crossed out is available for anyone to tackle. More details on how to add tasks to this list, or how to sign up to do a task, are provided at the bottom of the page.

In many cases, the task descriptions are pretty brief. If you'd like more information on any task, just ask on the help page. And don't worry, asking about a task doesn't mean you have to do it!

General

All tasks on the Helping Out page, especially:

Pages Needing Descriptions

Any pages listed here are probably empty pages, that need any basic information filled out.

Pages Needing Cleanup

All these pages need improving in some way.

Pages Needing Verification

These pages have questionable information that requires research. If you are familiar with Creation Kit, you can help other editors with their requests.

Questions Needing Answers

Many questions are asked on talk pages and the answers would improve the wiki.

Create screenshots

Every mission, place, NPC, creature, flower, etc. needs a high-quality image. This task is mainly confined to PC players, but there is some high-end tech allowing console players to help out. Additionally you can help other editors with their requests.

A full list of pages requiring maintenance can be found here.

Instructions

Working on a Task

1. Look through the list and see if anything appeals to you
2. If you can't figure out what a task means or if you're not sure how to do it, ask on the talk page.
3. Once you've picked something you would like to work on, mark that you're working on it. Put your name under the task to let other editors know that someone is working on it, e.g. add ** Being worked on! --~~~~.
4. If it's a one-person task, you may also want to cross it out (place <s> at the start of the line, and </s> at the end of the line) so other editors know to not work on it.
5. When you've finished, delete the task from this page.

Adding a Task

Any editor can add a task to the page: if there's something that you think needs to be done on the site, add it! If you're not sure about your idea or would like feedback, add it to the talk page and ask for other editors to provide their opinion.

1. Check whether this is the best place to add your idea
   • This page is supposed to list specific ideas for projects that editors can work on; more general to-do information is at StarfieldWiki:Helping Out
   • This page is not for tasks that require administrative privileges; those requests should be added to the Administrator Noticeboard.
   • Don't add tasks that you are planning on tackling in the near future (i.e., next week or so); this is supposed to be for tasks that are available for other editors to work on.
   • This is not the place to ask questions (try the Reference Desk), or make minor suggestions about improving a single page (put the suggestions on the article's talk page).
   • If in doubt, just go ahead and add it. Another editor might move it to a more appropriate place, but it's much better to add the idea so others know about it than to delay adding it because you're not sure where to put it.
2. Add a description of the task in the appropriate section.
3. (Optional) Add more detailed information on the following lines.
   • If you're able to take the time to fully describe the task, that would be great, and will make it easier for other editors to know what needs to be done
   • If, on the other hand, you just want to quickly add an idea, just provide a basic description (enough so that an experienced editor can probably fill in the details). In that case try to monitor this page and its talk page so that you can provide details if someone is interested in the idea.
