Been very busy with projects and work lately, I know there are quite a number of outstanding issues (as usual), so apologies for any delays. I will get to them when I can. If any editors are interested, feel free to take over any of them :D -- Grexx 04:51, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Guidelines & notes for editors
Some users might have noticed that I have been laying out general guidelines for some of the more major articles on the MH Wiki. This is done mainly so that editors will have a point of reference in case there are any doubts about a particular issue. However, the guidelines I put up are not set in stone, neither are they indisputable. They are there primarily to make the whole editing process go more smoothly and reduce the number of disputes. Requirements change over time, and sometimes the guidelines can and do become outdated. If any other editor has a better or alternate way of presenting an article, they should go ahead and propose or make the required changes. Please do remember to pass major changes through some form of feedback before any implementation, usually by stating it in the respective articles' talk page. -- Grexx 20:22, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Outstanding Issues
A bunch of things that need work on, that I don't have the time to get to at the moment:
- Reorganization of Ancient, Ancient (cheese) + dealing with all the Ancient set of articles. It is a lot more than what we initially started out with, which is 1 cheese and 1 potion.
- Deciding what to do with potion articles, either moving the potion articles into the cheeses, such as Brie Alchemy Potion into Brie, or Radioactive Blue Cheese Curd Potion into Radioactive Blue, or leaving separate and reducing the redundancy among pages at the moment (repetitive advice).
- Completion of as many image links and finalizing section descriptions for MHWiki:Image Bank. Current work can be found here
- Brief writeup on how to navigate in the Location Quick Reference article, mentioning internal section links and external links
- MHWiki:Data Links needs updating due to changes over the months.
- Updated Mouse subsection. Other sections pending.
- Rewording the Stale Cheese article for better flow, splitting into proper subsections. Some strategies are similar for all stale cheese types, but some are distinct, need to separate or maybe create a table to present it better.
- Many pages lack See Also links to link up with related articles, and of those pages that do have them, many lack good, brief descriptions on what those links are about. Outstanding issue for over 6 months now.
- Cleanup of all Hunting Strategy sections within individual location articles. Some of them are skewed towards a certain viewpoint, and poorly presents the different choices available.
- Adjustment of Larry's tips to start off the hunting strategy sections, as well as adjustment to the strategy writeups to complement Larry's tips and remove any redundant areas that could confuse players.
- Splitting of table in Effectiveness into regional tables. More info can be found here
- Closing discussion on adding a MH Wiki ticker. Discussion here.
