User:SMcCandlish/to do
(Redirected from User:SMcCandlish/Desk)
Unsorted additions:
- Write short "WP:There are oracles" contra WP:There are no oracles: 1) consensus is not what is decided in RfCs and written down, it is what the community does (which we sometimes bother to write down, in part); 2) ergo, long-term, policy-experienced editors can in fact predict outcomes with a high success rate.
- Bug OhConfucius again about fixing his User:Ohconfucius/script/Sources.js to stop misusing
|publisher=for work titles (if it's still doing that; I've not checked in a while) - Category:Logic puzzles needs over-capitalization cleanup (e.g. Knights and Knaves should be at Knights and knaves)
- Finish Template:Gloss/sandbox and tie it to Template:Interlinear
- Deal with Template:Post-nominals/sandbox and Template:Yesno issue (not detecting
on/off) - CfD Category:Published bibliographies for diffusion to Category:Wikipedia bibliographies for WP list articles and Category:Bibliographies for real-world things that are bibliographies. [1]
- Re-RfD Grammar Nazi, etc. (previous RfD closed as keep despite no policy reason for this, and a near 50/50 split in !votes)
- Cleanup subcat caps at Category:Range wars and feuds of the American Old West
- SOON: Add parameters for the taskforces to {{WikiProject Sports}}; update Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2016 March 17#Template:WikiProject Handball
- Make sure all single-source citation templates are labelled as requiring subst. Updated Category:Specific-source templates & subcats to note that they are not "unused" and should not be TfD'd. Add this tiresome proposal to WP:PERENNIAL
researching... - Fix Template:Section link thinspace and nowrap, per Template talk:Section link#Spacing after §
- Usurp Template:AD to create template that uses
<abbr>...</abbr>and links, with#switch, to explain meaning of AD, BC, CE, BCE, bp, mya, etc., etc. - WP:TFD: {{Geographic location}} (see thread at WT:MOSICONS
- File WP:AN to have the MOS:JR close at WP:VPPOL examined, if no one else gets around to it
- Redevelop MOS:HIDDEN to include
noprint/unprintworthy; moving HTML comments to talk; movingnoprint/unprintworthymaterial to sidebars, except permissible cases; secret messages - Add MOS:FAQ points to WP:PERENNIAL, and the WP:CFD WP:RETAIN thing
- Find old CfD about "members" and what that discussion concluded with.
- Get auto-confirmed protection either added to or removed from all MoS pages (not their talk pages); MOS:LAYOUT has it
- Deal with potentially bogus "MoS" pages:
- "MoS" page at WP:Blazon (see history for dispute)
- Deal with potentially bogus "MoS" page at WP:Wikimedia sister projects
- Various other WP:PROJPAGE essays masquerading as guidelines; already moved "WP:Manual of Style/UK military aircraft designations" back to WP:WikiProject Aviation/Style guide/Naming (British military aircraft) (wasn't even about style anyway, but is a draft naming convention)
- Guideline category cleanup:
- Clean up Category:Wikipedia style guidelines, including its intro (move that text to MoS subcat, note this one as a near-container cat.)
- Clean up any other categories near that? Lots of PROJPAGES in there
- Upmerge Category:Wikipedia Manual of Style into Category:Wikipedia style guidelines ?
- CfR: Category:Wikipedia guideline templates & Category:Wikipedia policy list templates (to "Category:Wikipedia X navigation templates")
- Add categorization feature to {{MoS guideline}}, borrowed from {{Subcat guideline}}
- Add multi-category feature to {{Subcat guideline}}
- Merge {{Guideline}} and {{Subcat guideline}}
- Start sandboxing User:SMcCandlish/WikiProject Breeds
- Overhaul WP:Arguments to avoid on discussion pages In progress
- Contribute to Wikipedia:Policy writing is hard
- Create inline quotation template @ Template:Quot
- Create article-top template (with
<dfn>...</dfn>, bold, etc.) @ Template:Subject - Create short "intro to Wikipedia for academic and professional experts" guide (see talk)
- Fix {{QuoteHadith}} to stop abusing pull quote template for block quotation
- Create Ferality CONCEPTDAB page, and clean up after the results of Talk:Feral animal#Requested move 2 October 2015
- Do RfC on TfD instructions (spamming articles with TfD tags): Special:Diff/680761745
- Finish the Podosphaera fuliginea merge from Talk:Sphaerotheca fuliginea/sandbox
- Finish the Category:Felids of Africa and Category:Felids of Central America category series
- Create genus categories for the rest of the cats (Category:Felis, etc.)
- WP:Manual of Style/Organisms is about ready for formal proposal, if only the breeds issue was settled.
- WP:Manual of Style/Glossaries is about ready for formal proposal, but might work better if forked into a Help page and a MoS page.
- WP:WikiProject Animals/Article structure is stalled, though it's unlikely noticed since it hasn't been broadly "advertised" yet.
- Clean up Category:College club sports associations in the United States (see WT:SPORT thread and noncommittal CfD)
- Figure out how to push updated code into WP:Cite4Wiki's new repository now that you have write access.
