MHWiki:Articles needing attention

Articles needing attention lists the various articles around the MH Wiki that need significant contributions from other editors. This page aims to centralize all the tasks that need to be done so that it can more easily be spotted and picked up. Please refer to the respective talk pages for further discussion on the individual tasks in question.

Besides the articles listed here, many of the other pages can do with some improvements. Go ahead and make edits if you feel it will improve the look/layout/information flow etc of the page.

Pending Tasks

Anyone can add to this page if you spot something that needs improvement. The important thing to remember is to make the task description as clear as possible.

If you decide to work on an article, do add your name to the list so that any other editors who wish to help out know at a glance who is already working on it. If you consider a task completed, please move it to the next table.

Article	Description of work that needs to be done	Currently being worked on by
Links on various pages	This is very general work, basically involves adding relevant links to the pages in the wiki to aid navigation. Additionally, a short description of the link should also be included. - Article has been outstanding for over 3 months now, some links still require a good description 15:53, 10 September 2009 (UTC)	Pus
Individual Weapon and Base articles	Currently, there's a lot of ranking of a trap as compared with other traps of similar power type or ability being stated in the article introduction. This is unnecessary as this information is already clearly presented in the Traps article as Bases and Weapons, and adds extra work in maintaining accuracy on a frequently changing aspect of the game. Additionally, in general it is quite clear which trap is better than which due to the differences, other than the few traps that have a replaceable twin. Thus the work required is removal of the parts that do attempt to rank traps. Discussion here: Talk:Traps#Trap_Ranking Weapons are completed now. Bases still need to be reviewed. -- Camomiletea 20:27, 24 December 2009 (UTC)	Camomiletea
MHWiki:Image Links	A number of images are lacking full resolution pictures, especially for traps and mice images. It would be helpful to fill in the images as well as the updating the relevant wiki article.	Victor.Song
Blueprints	The article is a little mixed up with player descriptions appended onto the actual in-game descriptions. It would be helpful to use a visual separator, mainly to put the in-game descriptions into italics, and to shift player descriptions below that. See Talk:Blueprints#In-game descriptions. -- Grexx 17:42, 13 January 2010 (UTC)	Niehusa

Completed Tasks

Please move all completed jobs here for the record

Article	Description of work that needs to be done	Work completed by
Trap Setup Options needs to be updated based on Mutated Venus Mouse Trap	MVMT is better than VMT -Multiple locations updated.	Ralphminer
Bait Preference	Different cheeses attract mice at different rates depending on the location. In addition some mice have preference or dislike of cheeses. My plan is to confirm the information in the Wiki against the catch rate estimates.	Ralphminer 18:30, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Scoreboard	This page is currently tagged for deletion. The article can be further improved with an explanation of the various functions available in the scoreboard past and present, and thus taken off the deletion list. It will also need proper linking from other pages.	Ralphminer
Brie Alchemy Potion	Article needs revamp in a similar manner as Radioactive Blue Cheese Curd Potion	User:Mikeyco
Revamp of the various location pages	Currently they are somewhat disorganized. Work needs to be done to get them back in line with each other, along with the creation of a common template for locations that should be followed for additional locations.	User:Mikeyco
Navbox for the Editor's Corner	Need a Navbox similar to Template:Location for the articles in the Editor's Corner	User:Mikeyco
Starting out	Needs further explanation, including updating of information based on the new newbie introduction process involving a knight called Larry?	User:Mikeyco
Larry	This article needs expansion.	User:Mikeyco
Mouse Pages	The individual Mouse pages need to be standardized according to MHWiki:Manual of Style.	User:Mikeyco
Cheat Sheet	Put locations in order encountered	User:Jimmy
Luck	This article needs improvement in light of recent information revealed by Dave in the video. See Talk page.	User:Camomiletea
Weapons & Bases Articles	The individual weapon and base pages need to be standardized according to MHWiki:Manual of Style.	User:Mikeyco
Hunting Sequence	Hunting Sequence currently makes no mention of the situation in which the baited cheese fails to attract a mouse. This section will need to mention the possibility of cheese going stale, depending on the Cheese Effect of traps.	User:Mikeyco
FAQ	FAQ needs fact checking and linking, as well as general cleanup and addition of further questions. It must be noted that almost none of the questions and answers were created by the Developers.	Various editors
Unchristened Ship	Needs in-game description from someone who crafted it. An image from the Crafting inventory would be a plus.	User:Artyom
Cheat Sheet	Major updates needed New crafted weapons should be added into the Weapons table -- Complete Camomiletea 20:31, 31 July 2009 (UTC) New Tribal Isles mice need to be added, probably using the vertical format for the columns -- Complete Camomiletea 19:16, 3 August 2009 (UTC)	Camomiletea
Cheat Sheet mice section	With the addition of more mice, the mice list is now long enough to warrant additional location segments such that no mouse is without the location header either above or below. Please keep reorganization along alphabetical lines.	User:Camomiletea
Various tournament related articles	The following articles need to be expanded: Party Horn, Hunting Party (fix POV), and Tournaments (which will include info about Party Points and the multiplier)	Stinson
Ancient	The page was clearly not written by a native speaker of English. Nothing wrong with that, but it really needs cleanup. - Redirected to Ancient (disambiguation)	User:Brossow
Arcane	Was split into Arcane and Forgotten, in view of coming new Forgotten-type traps. However, work on this project is not done until Forgotten traps are crafted and tested against mice of each power type to determine their effectiveness. - Issue resolved. Pages now redirect to Power Type	Dreamwalker
Effectiveness	The Tribal Isles mice need to be added.	Pus
Various location articles	The location articles such as Mountain, Laboratory, Dojo etc, all require a good expansion of the Hunting Strategy sections with information on the cheese strategy for that location. For example in the Mountain, players using Swiss will earn more than those using Brie, but those using Brie have a slightly better chance to catch the Ninja with the Map Piece with the higher attraction rate. Town of Gnawnia, Meadow, Harbour, Mountain has been completed. -- Grexx Trap Setup Options for all areas have been completed. -- Ralphminer 13:57, 16 May 2009 (UTC) Mostly resolved with the developer addition of Hunting Tips by Larry	User:Grexx, User:Ralphminer
Effectiveness	Effectiveness table now includes too many locations and mice to be of much use to most players. Work required is to split the global effectiveness table into regional tables. More information can be found under here. Detailed information on how to proceed with the changes has also been listed clearly.	Various Editors
Organization of Loot	The Loot page needs checking on the individual Loot articles to see if unimportant Loot with just 1 or 2 lines of description are redirected back to the main article and cleared of their contents. Watch out for loss of information, such as Trivia etc. If in doubt, discuss on the talk page. - Mostly resolved by the merging of stubs into major articles.	Various Editors

Images Needed

This section contains the list of images that need to be retrieved from the game and uploaded to sites such as photobucket or imageshack and linked back from the MH Wiki. Please note that the HitGrab developers have asked that we do not link directly to the game servers, so no direct links please.

Please update accordingly as needed. Status reflects the possibility that some images do not meet the standardized criteria, and thus need a replacement.

NOTE: Aksmet's photobucket account (to which a lot of images link to) is inactive.
