Editing Old World Wiki:Work needed

== TODO ==

☐ scrape the in game encyplopedia and upload to wiki pages via the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit api]
☐☐ I'm trying this out for units. I'd like to see discussion and strategy tips on unit pages. For that to happen would seem to require some separation between "updated from game files" sections, and "edited by contributors" sections of the pages. Looking at the Fandom Civ wiki, the sidebars for unit stats look like they would be derivable from the game files. They are also implemented as MediaWiki templates. So, the path forward I see is to have a template for unit stats that is automatically generated, and then later updated, by a script. The rest of the pages would be open for edits. My current plan is to manually create three pages for units, extract the template from them, then complete the code that will automatically create the remaining pages. Certainly open to any thoughts on this. [[User:Decamerone|Decamerone]] ([[User talk:Decamerone|talk]]) 18:10, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

☐ Fill the [[Terrain_Types]] page with similarly detailed tables as in [[Units]] 

☐ Improve SEO, somehow it's really hard to find the wiki via google searches

<blockquote>☐ Consider adding markdown extension to wiki</blockquote>
Sadly it looks like the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Markdown Extension:Markdown] is no longer maintained, maybe there are alternatives? - [[User:Bersaelor]]
