*Review http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Html [[metawikipedia:Help:HTML_in_wikitext]] (this literally could mean going through all the metawikipedia help pages one by one and seeing what could be linked to or needs to be brought to AboutUs).  List of all pages in the metawikipedia Help Namespace is at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Allpages?from=&namespace=12

−
* The following are ideas on formatting / appearance of this [[HelpIndex]]
 
−
** in source text for this section, change <nowiki><strike></nowiki> to css
 
−
** perhaps create template to be used for links to (<small>metawikipedia</small>)
 
−
** Category-style alpha TOC; perhaps best if this could float; but floating is probably incompatible with multiple columns because the index would cover up part of the right-hand column(s).  See next bullet point. 
 
−
** turn the index into multi-columns (takes less time to find right place).  But probably incompatible with floating index.
 
−
* Consider replacing duplicate links (different entries that link to same place) with cross references to the same entry, so that there's only one link.  (Makes it easier to link to a different place -- only need to change one link.)
 
−
* In the future, the help pages with multiple topics (BasicWikiFormatting) can be broken up so permalinks can work for the sub-sections - and transcluded back together so [[BasicWikiFormatting]] still works.
 
−
* Are all pages pointed to by [[HelpIndex]] in [[:Category:AboutUs_Help]]?

OurWork (.) Get help pages ready for CompostUs / . (.)

What's involved here? We have HelpIndex. Is it just a question of going through all those links and seeing which screenshots/text will need to change? How do we organize it?

14:02, 17 March 2008 (PDT) Now much higher priority than we thought

Dev will flip the switch to CompostUs is less than 24 hours.

proposal

  • Copy/paste entire HelpIndex page here
  • remove the parts we don't need
  • verify that we have the whole list
  • start going through the list to see what need to happen for each page
    • if small fix, just do it and strike that idea.
    • if bigger make a note next to the entry
  • once we see patterns begin to emerge, we can split the list up into different tasks, or use categories or something
