We should have an article on every pyramid and every nome in Ancient Egypt. I'm sure the rest of us can think of other articles we should have.
Cleanup.
To start with, most of the general history articles badly need attention. And I'm told that at least some of the dynasty articles need work. Any other candidates?
Standardize the Chronology.
A boring task, but the benefit of doing it is that you can set the dates !(e.g., why say Khufu lived 2589-2566? As long as you keep the length of his reign correct, or cite a respected source, you can date it 2590-2567 or 2585-2563)
Stub sorting
Anyone? I consider this probably the most unimportant of tasks on Wikipedia, but if you believe it needs to be done . . .
Data sorting.
This is a project I'd like to take on some day, & could be applied to more of Wikipedia than just Ancient Egypt. Take one of the standard authorities of history or culture -- Herotodus, the Elder Pliny, the writings of Breasted or Kenneth Kitchen, & see if you can't smoothly merge quotations or information into relevant articles. Probably a good exercise for someone who owns one of those impressive texts, yet can't get access to a research library.

Is it deliberate or a bug that the hiero tag doesn't get centred in the same way as regular text, in cases like the infobox on the Hemiunu article? --Lord Belbury (talk) 13:49, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
How do I make the hieroglyphs so that the text follows before and after (without line break)?[edit]
How to I insert hieroglyphs, using the WikiHiero markup, so that I can write paragraphs, like Budge does here, with the glyph employed like a word in the paragraph (no line break)? 98.34.33.241 (talk) 22:14, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Asked on Wikimedia. I too would like this feature. — kwami (talk) 21:18, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Kwamikagami, I think I fixed it, see today's help page addition. IKhitron (talk) 18:37, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, I restored the indentation, because otherwise the description is illegible. — kwami (talk) 18:50, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I think you should redo all did you do today here, @Kwamikagami, because it does not work without div tags. Try without indentation, it just creates the mess, this is why I removed it. IKhitron (talk) 18:53, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I just discovered that, and added a note. But an example needs to be indented, or you can't tell that it's an example.
Ideally we'd be able to simplify this to something like <hiero|inline>. — kwami (talk) 18:54, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So it should be another example, one that does need indentation. IKhitron (talk) 18:57, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand. There is no indentation in the example code, it's simply indented for visibility. Use the displayed code and you'll get the displayed output. We could set it off some other way if you prefer, maybe in a table, but we need some way of setting it off or it becomes confusing, as it's difficult to separate the example from the instructions. — kwami (talk) 19:39, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like I misunderstood what did you do, sorry and forget about it. IKhitron (talk) 20:36, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
