Categories needed
Some important guidelines on categories
- Stick to standard names. There is a category called 'Digital Fabrication', so use that; don't go creating a category called 'Flexible Industry' or something.
- Use straightforward names rather than jargon or acronyms
- Don't create new categories that don't fit into the structure of the wiki as a whole. This wiki is a mess because hundreds of people have gone around creating pages like 'Wood Pellet Burner' and putting that in a category called 'Wood Pellet Burner'; this just leads to hundreds of dispersed, unconnected scraps of information. There are currently too many categories - something like 333 categories for about 1700 pages. There should be 100 at most, and these should have a coherent nested structure.
Here is a draft outline for categories and sub-categories to be used:
- Digital Fabrication
- Digital Fabrication > RepLab Tools
- Digital Fabrication > RepLab Tools > RepRap
- Digital Fabrication > RepLab Tools > Torch Table
- Digital Fabrication > RepLab Tools > Drill-mill-lathe
- Digital Fabrication > RepLab Tools > MIG Welder
- Digital Fabrication > RepLab Tools > Plasma Cutter
- Digital Fabrication > RepLab Tools > Induction Furnace
- Digital Fabrication > RepLab Tools > Laser Cutter
- Digital Fabrication > RepLab Tools > CAD
- Digital Fabrication > RepLab Tools
- The Open Ecology Project
- Previous events
- Collaborators
- PR materials
- Related thought
Pictures, pictures, pictures!
Please add pictures to as many pages as possible. It doesn't matter if they don't provide extra information; they just make the page nicer to look at.
Pages needed
- Using Templates
- Very important. Please document at Instructions
- Available Templates
Refactoring needed
Are current priorities and this Wiki wish list the only pages that list "How you can help" ?
Here's a list:
MediaWiki extensions needed
- CategoryTree allows the category structure to be seen in outline form
Clean-up needed
- various spam pages need to be removed: "buy Cialis..." etc.
- There are also MANY pages in Chinese characters, probably spam also.
- I looked at http://openfarmtech.org/index.php?title=Special:AllPages and then http://openfarmtech.org/index.php?title=Special:AllPages&from=%E4%B8%8A%E6%B5%B7%E5%A9%9A%E5%BA%86%E5%85%AC%E5%8F%B8&to=%E9%9F%A9%E5%9B%BD%E5%8C%96%E5%A6%86%E5%93%81%E5%93%81%E7%89%8C%E5%85%AC%E5%8F%B8 which gives us all Chinese pages.
- I looked at some of them at random, and found lots of urls that appear to be bogus. If a Chinese speaking person would have contributed they would have said something in English. So I think it's safe just to delete them!
- I then looked at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_delete_a_page
- Finally, I tagged the first 3 pages in Chinese with bracket-bracket delete verticalbar reason=spam bracket-bracket.
Suggestion to admins: Please, see if it's easy for you to delete those tagged pages. If that's the case, then we non-admins can help by tagging many pages for you to delete all at once.

I think there are no more spam pages now. Thanks for your work Lucas! --Elifarley 00:02, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
Templates needed
- A more compact Site header template, showing just the packages, with a tooltip for each package showing the projects within the package
- Not sure if this can be done without an extension
- But the Pipe trick might help
- July 16: Pipe trick plus redirection will work, no need for tooltip extension
- See Template:Site Header 2 and Template:ProjectHdr Habitat for examples
