Note: Some parts of this page may be out of date. For clarification, please discuss on the Wiki Discord server
Content Creation
The RTGame Wiki is still in development and many content pages still need to be created and filled with information and references. The easiest way to find pages that need creating is to browse the Wanted Pages list to find pages that are linked to multiple times, but do not yet exist. These are high-traffic pages, and should be carefully created to follow the Style Guide and the Example articles. Stubs show pages which need additional content and expansion. If you find a page that needs more content, add the {{stub}} tag to the top of the article to add it to that list.
Maintenance tasks
These tasks are part of ongoing maintenance work. They include short-term cleanup or long-term revamps of categories. These often take a backseat to main content tasks, but should be dealt with on a timely basis.
For staff members
The following tasks can only be carried out by staff members.
By all users
The following tasks can be carried out by all users.
Task requests
If there are any general tasks that need doing - but which you either don't have the time, skill, or user-rights to perform them - then please list your request under this section and sign it with your name and date.
