Wiki wish list
Categories
- Put everything in the categories listed below
- Insert the template for the appropriate category at the top of each page. This will A) create a navigation bar and B) put the page in the mediawiki category. Templates are made by two curly brackets and an equals sign, like this: {{Category=Beekeeping}}
I'm finding it relatively easy to categorize the pages to do with different technologies, but pages about collaboration, guiding philosophies, organizational things, project management etc are more slippery. We will need a well-structured framework for these too.--Conor 01:49, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

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.
Organizing the information on each tool
Each of the tools (listed in Category:RepLab tools and Category:Farm equipment) should have a standardized, clear, navigable set of instructions. I suggest that each tool have a main page, with links to the following sub-pages displayed in a table like this -
| OVERVIEW | SPECIFICATIONS | BILL OF MATERIALS | BUILD INSTRUCTIONS | USE INSTRUCTIONS | CURRENT TASKS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Link to list of numbers on cost, performance etc | Link to list of materials, prices and sources | Link to step-by-step videos or words and pictures | How to use it, what it can do. Software where applicable | Project status. If one of the above is missing (e.g. if there are schematics, but no step-by-step build instructions), put out a call for someone to make one |
We should do this for the Liberator CEB press first.
Pages needed
- Using Templates
- Very important. Please document at Instructions
- Available Templates
Refactoring needed
- Special:WantedCategories provides a list with categories that potentially need to be merged or removed.
- Category:Candidates for speedy deletion should be reviewed and acted upon
Related Groups and Collaboration
I'd like to merge some of these categories and pages:
