Things that people often wish had wiki documentation. And rightfully they wish, because having documentation would be a great big help.


*'''[[Getting Started]]''': Explain new character options interface.
*'''Style and Grammar''': Writing is communication, and you can't communicate well in writing without good grammar and clear prose. It's especially important for tutorials and the [[Getting Started]] page. Be sure to mark them as minor edits as courtesy.
*'''Style and Grammar''': Writing is communication, and you can't communicate well in writing without good grammar and clear prose. It's especially important for tutorials and the [[Getting Started]] page. Be sure to mark them as minor edits as courtesy.
*'''[[Ore Processing]]''': A highly neglected system that needs more love. Give it some by finding and writing about its redeeming qualities. Or, if you can't, by fact-checking the list of properties, describing how material properties affect each craftables, and maybe adding some new uses and material reccomendations.
*'''[[Salvager]]''': With the introduction of salvager as antagonist, lots of work needs to be done on the page. Currently developed by azrun (and all questions can be directed to him). The salvager page has all the wip tags that need to be done but a basic summary of what needs to be done is
*'''[[Foods and Drinks]]''': Food buffs! They're rather minor, but they're interesting and unique enough to warrant wiki documentation. We have a rudimentary Google doc of the various food items' buffs [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bsXcuYGQdPaPjfnpbIXvHnvS2WKSIv36iVXo6fit58g/edit?usp=sharing here].
**Uploading pictures of sprites
*'''[[Powering the station]]''':  
**Better and more explanations of gear, such as the door hacker. Perhaps a section can be dedicated to this like [[Being_A_Better_Traitor|Being A Better Traitor]] based on tips for using salvager gear.
**Surely, there's a better way of explaining the TEG than with maps with subtly inconsistent varieties of parts and numberings.
**Playing as salvager section needs a lot of better advice and general fleshing out of the page. Make it look niceeee.
**While you're pondering that, perhaps you should also look into adapting [[User:Avack|this fellow's]] TEG guides for Clarion and Destiny.
**In the Items the M4GP13 Salvage and Barter System sells section, brief summaries of what the equipment does and how it functions would be greatly appreciated. Like how [[Syndicate_Items#CARL|C.A.R.L.]] was done.
**It'd also be great if there were more thorough examples of the techniques described in Overlapping Hotspots.
*In addition related to the salvager, a magpie location page needs to be created.
**Describe how to set up Horizon's TEG engine.
*'''[[Ore Processing]]''': Give it some love by finding and writing about the system's redeeming qualities. Or, if you can't, by fact-checking the list of properties, describing how material properties affect each craftables, and maybe adding some new uses and material reccomendations.
*'''[[Horizon]]''': Add tabs for Horizon versions of the various locations and explain how to navigate it, particularly what the map considers east, west, north, and south.
**One of the easiest ways is to provide more details about the materials uses and properties, along with putting in their icons.
*'''[[Manta]]''': Add tabs for Manta's rooms and areas, explain how it simulates movement, and describe what "port", "starboard", and other directions mean on that map.
**Another way to describe these new functions for arrows:
 
***Implanted arrow shafts apply effects of their material.  
***Spears and arrows accept organic materials.
*'''[[Mapping]]''': People have been asking for a guide on how to make stations and locations for Goonstation for quite a while now. Such a guide might include things like:
**Obtaining the necessary files (done)
**How to choose and place objects/spawners/mobs.
**Mapping in DreamMaker.
**Mapping in StrongDMM
**A summary of and/or link to the [https://hackmd.io/@ZeWaka/goonmap Goonstation Map Submission Guidelines] (done)
*'''Discontinued maps''': [[Manta]] has been retired from rotation, so we need to remove/rewrite references to it on job pages and guides. We do not need to remove them from pages on map locations. [[User:Studenterhue/Horizon|Horizon]] and [[Destiny]] too.

Let's get meta, because this page is for documenting pages that need love and hard work from readers like you to become better. It's the true sequel to the old Outdated Pages project and intends for the same levels of collaboration and communication and more accessibility. Brush up your markup and take a gander at the Guide to Contributing to Wikistation, because it's time for some wiki magic.

A Word for the Anxious

Relax.

Don't feel too pressured to add info ASAP. Good pages and entries take hard work, dedication, and, more importantly, multiple revisions. If you come in looking for a quick way out and try to learn everything you need in one round for the sake of some wiki page, you'll just end up frustrated, unhappy, and stuck with a terrible draft. Take your time. It can wait. It can always wait.

"High" Priority

Things that people often wish had wiki documentation. And rightfully they wish, because having documentation would be a great big help.

  • Getting Started: Explain new character options interface.
  • Style and Grammar: Writing is communication, and you can't communicate well in writing without good grammar and clear prose. It's especially important for tutorials and the Getting Started page. Be sure to mark them as minor edits as courtesy.
  • Salvager: With the introduction of salvager as antagonist, lots of work needs to be done on the page. Currently developed by azrun (and all questions can be directed to him). The salvager page has all the wip tags that need to be done but a basic summary of what needs to be done is
    • Uploading pictures of sprites
    • Better and more explanations of gear, such as the door hacker. Perhaps a section can be dedicated to this like Being A Better Traitor based on tips for using salvager gear.
    • Playing as salvager section needs a lot of better advice and general fleshing out of the page. Make it look niceeee.
    • In the Items the M4GP13 Salvage and Barter System sells section, brief summaries of what the equipment does and how it functions would be greatly appreciated. Like how C.A.R.L. was done.
  • In addition related to the salvager, a magpie location page needs to be created.
  • Ore Processing: Give it some love by finding and writing about the system's redeeming qualities. Or, if you can't, by fact-checking the list of properties, describing how material properties affect each craftables, and maybe adding some new uses and material reccomendations.
    • One of the easiest ways is to provide more details about the materials uses and properties, along with putting in their icons.
    • Another way to describe these new functions for arrows:
      • Implanted arrow shafts apply effects of their material.
      • Spears and arrows accept organic materials.
  • Mapping: People have been asking for a guide on how to make stations and locations for Goonstation for quite a while now. Such a guide might include things like:
    • Obtaining the necessary files (done)
    • How to choose and place objects/spawners/mobs.
    • Mapping in DreamMaker.
    • Mapping in StrongDMM
    • A summary of and/or link to the Goonstation Map Submission Guidelines (done)
  • Discontinued maps: Manta has been retired from rotation, so we need to remove/rewrite references to it on job pages and guides. We do not need to remove them from pages on map locations. Horizon and Destiny too.

"Medium" Priority

Good to have this info, but no one's round is going to be ruined just because there isn't there.

  • Changelog: Copying and pasting changelog updates and formatting for the wiki (which usually just entails more copying and pasting).
  • New Features: Some features added to the game in the form of github pull requests are tagged "add to wiki". Document them on the wiki, and then ask a github user to remove the "add to wiki" tag (or make an account and remove them yourself!)
  • Being A Better Traitor: Could always use more tips, particularly for less used items.
  • Maintenance Info: Many pages are missing locations of APCs, power wires, and air hookup vents/injectors (if applicable). Obviously, someone should add them, seeing as some of them can be in some rather strange locations.
  • Motives: Most people don't have much trouble with them, but it's worth explaining the weird irregularities and highlighting some of the lesser-known ways of increasing/decreasing certain motives.
  • Chemicals:
    • Add in depletion rate, effects when ingested/applied to people/in plants, its recipe if applicable, recipe hint if it's secret, etc. of
      • And the other many, many obscure chems that are rarely found. Be sure to determine whether or not it's an unlisted secret chemical or a precursor to one.
    • Describe how damaged caused by floors coated with Organic Superlubricant is calculated.
    • Describe how amount of smokepowder affects initial cloud size and how amount of other reagents affects cloud expansion in greater detail.
    • Update effects of napalm.
    • Update effects of silver fulminate.
  • Foods and Drinks:
    • Adding unlisted foods and their effects. Just because it isn't on the list of foods doesn't mean it isn't a real food! (Ongoing, don't remove)
  • Roleplay Tips and Tricks: Can always use more RP tips.
  • Contraband: Add in any contraband items the big chart might have missed.
  • TermOS:
    • Supposedly, it's possible to set the Buddies to arrest a specific person. If so, what are the commands?
    • Now that there's multiple stations with nuclear charges, there needs to be a section on using the nukeman program, especially on activating or deactivating the nuclear charge.
    • Note term_ping's filtering option.
  • Guide to Genetics:
    • Does hulk/gamma ray exposure make the person immune to stuns as with other versions?
    • Explain how exactly Scooby accent changes speech, i.e. what letters become what.
    • Talk about customization options for roaches.

(C)low(n) Priority

Fun things everybody loves. Everyone adores them when they're there, but if they're gone or missing, nobody complains.

  • Supplementary Info & Galleries: Everyone loves them. They add a great touch of humor that no words can express and really add character to a page like a really good rug. Shame they're rather hard to find. Here are some pages that could particularly use one:
  • Updated Map Images: Some map locations get extra additions after their images are uploaded, like extra cyborg docks, security scanners, and completely new machines and equipment. Update their images to include those.
  • Annotated Maps: Maps of, well, station maps with important rooms labeled. Currently, we want ones for:
  • Clothing: Not only is clothing often added, making this a perpetual effort, but there are a few articles of clothing missing from here.

Sprites Wanted

Sprites wanted. Wanted sprites. Sprites that are wanted (by the wiki). The sprites that get a sad, sad TBA for their image. Sprites that may need updating due to resprites. While not required, it is very recommended that you specify whether an entry needs a sprite or needs its sprite updated as it prevents entries from being deleted due to misunderstanding. Due to the possibility of every item in this list being completed and removed, and making the list blank, below is an example of an entry, in order to help users format new entries.
