Wiki at a glance
This full category tree is in a few places. All pages should be in an appropriate category. Pages with DRUID infoboxes are automatically categorized and only need manual marking for categories not listed in the infobox category field. Categories also belong to categories, and that is how the tree is formed. Thus, by expanding this tree, you can discover all pages if we've done our job right. Special:UncategorizedCategories, Special:UncategorizedPages, Special:UncategorizedTemplates
Tips, tricks, and other shenanigans
| Invisible Notes | You can make notes for other editors that are only visible while editing by using <!--hidden text-->. You can see an example if you edit this section. |
| Syntax Highlighting | It may be useful to some to have this enabled. This colors certain things in the editor at the cost of some loading time. It is found to the left of "Advanced" at the top of the editor and looks like a highlighter. |
| Deleting pages | Insert the Delete template at the top: {{Delete}}. If and when they accumulate, we can request a wiki admin on the Discord Wiki-Leaks channel to action them. |

User:Cruddly
- Check Category:Pages with no carried
- All Category:DRUID_infobox_templates to have error cats for missing images.

- Categorize Special:UncategorizedFiles. Many new categories under
Unassigned
- Update all child pages in Version 1 to prepare for launch.
- Upload screenshots to remove pages from Category:Pages with no model, Category:Pages with no icon. See the appropriate subcategories in Category:Images for example formats. Licence should be
{{Games}}and add the appropriate Category. - Roll patches up for a single release presentation.
- Ground-only as redir
- All pages with Patchnotes to History block
- Update Early Access Launch.
- Ensure all DRUID templates incorporate Category:Pages with no icon and other similar categories for 'required' images - see the beginning of
{{Good}}. - Add floodable as an attribute to buildings. All residences are floodable, all workplaces. That can just be a static in the template for those. But Tube Stations and Zip Stations aren't. And people ask all the time if any of the monuments are floodable. People don't realize the water can get too high for water wheels too.
- Need some gfx genius to make us a lil icon to represent the floodable characteristic like the new characteristic icons and based on the flooded alert icon.
- All those cool characteristic icons need to be in all the appropriate templates.
- Move generic interface from District Center to UI. Include specialist interface controls for other building types in their cover pages. Hard link to those pages from the template.
- Above-ground redirect to page describing structural characteristics, rename cat:non-ground-only structures. Check Buildings for blurb.
- Status Icons: pic from gallery up top and describe that aspect of the GUI. stub it, for changes to V1, including left side of screen interface. Stub UI for said changes.
- Check prep images for new banners based on detailer images.
- Rename (Building Group) to (Tool group).
- File:Recommended map.png -> Beginner Friendly.png
- Cat:Water(goods cat)==>cat:water
- Water/Goods Category to the cat
- Make Stub/pl, change /pl pages in stubs to that, and then apply to wanted pages with a /pl.
- Cat:Logs to take Logs (Cat) and delete Logs (Cat).png
- All Maps to have a Strategy and a more verbose description.
Pages Needing Simple Love
Improvements Required
- Every page about something from Timberborn needs a history section. Use the Functional Update History to build them.
- Pages marked as Category:Outdated and/or Category:Stubs.
Wanted Pages and Files
These are broken links. Some are actually wanted. Some are just bad links that need to be edited to the correct target.
- Wanted Pages: Special:WantedPages
- Wanted Files: Special:WantedFiles
Fixing mistakes
We're all just beavers, and we make mistakes. You can help fix some problems that creep in over time.
- Category:Non-faction-specific_structures has many entries that are actually faction-specific. Edit the page parameter for faction.
Use the special pages
The lists of special pages have numerous lists to find editing work.
Maintenance
The Special Pages' Maintenance section has many useful pages for editors looking for work.
Media reports and uploads > List of files with duplicates
This list should be empty. Update links (if any) for the duplicates, then edit the duplicates and mark them {{Delete}} with the reason Dupe.
Pages needing advanced wiki editing skills
You can help with these projects if you are comfortable with, or want to learn, standard MediaWiki Templates and ParserFunctions. This is very simple coding.
DRUID infoboxes
The wiki.gg DRUID infoboxes are far simpler to maintain and understand than the legacy Fandom portable infoboxes. Completed DRUID infobox templates are listed in Category:DRUID_infobox_templates. If you make a new DRUID infobox template, add it to this category and no others.
Template:Structure is being replaced with more specialised DRUID templates. Remaining pages using this template are listed in Category:Uses the Structures template. The plan is to have a Workplace template, and then what is left should be able to go into a DRUID for Structure.
Obsolete pages could arguably be removed from these categories and left in the Obsolete category with their raw stats without an infobox, but that's a problem for later.
Template:Need and Template:Needs onetype need to be redone as well. Maybe need something for status icons too.
Navboxes should be upgraded to the wiki.gg Ranger navboxes.
One navbox for buildings. Both have state = collapsed. We set each invocation to expand the appropriate section and sub-section. Then we have fewer navboxes to maintain.
- Consider navboxes for pages without. Eg status effects, everything in cat:features etc. Use cat tree as a guide.
- Navboxes to link to parent cat
Bot stuff
Fixes
All Files:replace Licence and License with Licensing.
Glossary magic
A periodical bot would check all pages against the glossary for new definitions, and update the table for new entries. The glossary could have the definition, abd also links to a page with it, either in the wiki or outside it.
The bot would provide the hovertext markdown and link to the definition on the first entry of the word on that page.
Quality checks
Numerous automatic categories to help keep pages correct.
