:{{Note|''We're aiming to meet on the [[WikiCleanup#Wiki meetups|second Wednesday of each month]] to manage the cleanup project and help members interested in contributing. The next meeting is scheduled for '''13 March 2019 at 6pm'''.''}}


This wiki has been in place since at least 2012, and many pages have not been updated in years. There are pages for [[:category:Tools and Equipment (Defunct)|tools we no longer have]], outdated pages on tools we do have, and a lack of information on newer tools and on our teams and how the space works. The plan is to bring this wiki back up to date, and make it a better resource our members find useful and interesting.

===Page content and maintenance===
====Missing tool pages====
There are a number of tools in the space which aren't documented. A tool is worth documenting if it's particularly loved or well used. It's especially worth adding a page for if there is any safety or maintenance details to share.


=== Deletion ===
Here are some requests for specific tools:
*The wiki is seven years old and has a lot of pages that haven't been updated in years. Pages that genuinely aren't required can be tagged with: <code><nowiki>{{delete|date=DD/MM/YYYY|reason=Cruft}}</nowiki></code> {{high}}
::Please also include a reason which can then be discussed before wiki admin deletes.
::Most pages that contain historic pages can be de-categorized and tagged with [[Template:archive]]
 
===Missing pages===
;Hackspace Information
* Location pages -As part of a wider documentation project in the hackspace we should create a page for each area of the space, and keep all relevant information on the wiki for members and guests to view. {{high}}
:: Add area infobox with map showing location.
* Write [[About:History]] (move to Nottinghack's history?)
::([[:Category:Featured]] - our story pages may help)
* Write [[About:The Space]] (move to About Nottinghack) brief summary with link to Members Guide
 
* Wiki editing 'quick start' guide
 
===Pages to update===
* Rules are no longer updated on wiki (since 2016), make template for rule pages saying historical and pointing to [https://rules.nottinghack.org.uk/ rules.nottinghack.org.uk].{{high}}
* [[Teams]] - add what they are responsibilities etc. {{high}}
* Team pages need current information {{high}}
::Encourage Teams to update their Team: pages with current contacts/ members? (could email each team)
::[[Team:Maintainers]] -> Category:Teams (dissolved)
::[[Team:Events]] needs informatiom
*The [[Projects]] page needs purging and re-writing. See talk page at [[Talk:Projects]]
* Update [[Hackspace 2.5]]
::This is quite a big one that it feels like people want to see more about.
* [[Tools/We Have]] - list needs tidy and update - maybe have separate pages for each cat of tool? {{med}}
 
===Page types and boiler plates===
{{also|User:Mikehaber/Document structure - pattern draft}}
* Tools
* Projects
* Locations
* New editor welcome
 
====Infoboxes====
*Add [[Template:Project]] infobox to projects.
::75 Projects are using it as of 06/02/2019
::Close out old projects by marking them as Complete or Dormant
 
====Project pages====
* Reorganisation of project pages;
::Maybe have separate subcategories for projects that of large 'Projects (by team)' and ones that are more or less solo 'Projects (by member).
 
====Event pages====
* Put past events in Category:Events (past)?
 
====Location pages====
* Each [[:category:location|location]] ie, room, area and storage place could have a page. This in turn could link to pages of what is in that area and vice-versa.
*Location pages could have an [[:template:location|infobox]] with a floor plan image indicating where it is.
{{note|Floor plans are stored here: http://github.com/NottingHack/rodenhouse/tree/master/exports}}


===Front page===
* There's also manual ones under one of the work benches in the non dusty area (AKA workshop)
[[File:Wiki comakingspace.de MainPage links table.PNG|thumbnail|A nice table taken from the front page of CoMakingspace Hackspace wiki in Germany]]
* Page for oscilloscopes we have, as purchased from pledges [[Electronics Test Kit Pledge]] and [[Oscilloscope Pledge]]
*Convert 'list boxes' into template.
* Page for badge maker, from [[Badgemaker pledge]]
*Tidy alignment.
*Highlight featured pages.
*Make it easier to find task like tidying/ cleaning
*Make it clear how to contribute to the wiki
*Change the sidebar links so that they link to Pages [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Featured_content (Or Portals like this?)], Not categories
*No list to members guide
*New Members - link to members guide - wiki is second place to look for more detail
* Random content from :[[:Category:Featured]] ?

This wiki has been in place since at least 2012, and many pages have not been updated in years. There are pages for tools we no longer have, outdated pages on tools we do have, and a lack of information on newer tools and on our teams and how the space works. The plan is to bring this wiki back up to date, and make it a better resource our members find useful and interesting.

Its worth mentioning that our wiki is probably one of the better ones, when compared with other Hackspaces in the UK.

How to help

You can help by simply picking any page at all and updating it! Be Bold with your changes, nothing is lost when the wiki is edited; We can always revert back.

Every wiki page has a discussion page (see tab at top left of page). For general wiki discussion or to request help there is the #comms channel on Discord.

Priority List

Priorities listed by topic -  To do  tag priority level (high  , med  , low  ).

Page content and maintenance

Missing tool pages

There are a number of tools in the space which aren't documented. A tool is worth documenting if it's particularly loved or well used. It's especially worth adding a page for if there is any safety or maintenance details to share.

Here are some requests for specific tools:

Location pages and maps

  • Standardise floor images, using SVG

Physical link to space

  • Reprint some QR codes stickers/tags in space that link to relevant wiki page
    • QR code link on left-hand column needs testing - to ensure it links to right page.

Encourage participation in Wiki

  • Encourage general membership to post projects.
Even just a picture is ok, big essays are not necessary :)
- how? see talkpage

Good wiki practice

Naming conventions and categories

  • Have a naming convention for categories template etc. - for example, only capitalise first letter unless proper noun. Start with category type word first, for example, 'Category:Templates emoji' rather than 'Emoji templates'.
  • Move articles that have been placed at the top of a category pages, for example Category:Rules and previously Category:Network. Move them back to article space.

Adding dates

Style

  • Decorate infoboxes' as appropriate. For example, text white on dark green used in Template:Tool.
  • List of currently coded styles - for example there is a style for the boxes on the front page (-early 2019)
  • Add fancy CSS
  • Add long-winded or frequently used styles (esp. table) to CSS
  • CSS to scale images by page percentage see example
  • Make CSS for style used in tables on power page  
  • Make CSS for style on template LinkTable and Community links

Photos

Categories

Tools and equipment

All the Textile Workshop tool need re-categorising as Tools and Equipment in Craft Room (by change location in Tools infobox)

Categorise all uncategorised pages

  • Add categories to Widget: pages

Archiving

  • Archive pages with historical information
Test example of archive style Old Wood lathe using {{grey-start}}

MediaWiki extensions

Most or all extensions will have to wait until the MediaWiki software is upgraded, as per March meeting. However, preparity research can be done - find out the best extension for a particular use and what MediaWiki version it needs.

  • Better search  
    • Main search could be set to search all pages (apart from media) to make it easier to find pages in namespaces with a prefix
    • Would it be possible to search rules, guide and wiki all-in-one?
  • Wiki notifications  
    • Ping wiki users
    • Send thanks for edits
  • Semantic Wiki - data structure for pages, allows form -> infobox
  • Extension for dynamic display of Categories within a page
  • Tooltips

  • Ignore caps on wikilinks (for example, using Category:Utility templates would still link to Category:Utility Templates)
  • Something to display the number of page views
  • Extension:InputBox - for easy new page creation code

Mobile phones

Templates

Widgets

Tidy Pages

Graphics

Icons needed to replace 'H's in lower three boxes on frontpage NottingHack, and one for Template:Archive.
