Semantic MediaWiki would offer two main advantages.  First, most lists and tables on the wiki could be automatically generated.  This means that most existing lists/tables could be kept automatically in sync, and it also means that adding more useful tables would be trivial.  For example, I think it might be nice to have, on every page like [[list of deep elves]], a summary table showing HP, HD, MR, etc., of each monster.  The second advantage is that users can make custom queries, such as "show me all backgrounds and their starting spells" (i.e., spells from the starting spell books). -- [[User:Roy|Roy]] 18:29, 17 February 2013 (CET)

==Background articles==
 
Just a general notice, I think a lot of these may be outdated, and they also tend to be woefully short.  Admittedly, background isn't that significant, and I think that's why a lot of these articles haven't gotten much attention, but still, it's something we should work on (although it probably will have to wait until we have most or all of the articles moved over).
 
  
==Something that will likely take a while==
+
See the [[CrawlWiki_talk:Community_portal|Discussion]] page for general community talk about and around the wiki.
Just a general notice: redirects.  They're never in categories on the old wiki, meaning they can't be conveniently exported.  Thus, they're pretty much going to have to be created manually.  So, if you see a red link in an article, search to see if the topic already exists, and if it does, create a redirect. -[[User:Ion frigate|Ion frigate]] 02:14, 23 December 2012 (CET)
 
  
==Strategy guides==
+
[[Category:Community]]
A general guideline I think we should adopt for anyone writing a guide, and one that should be retroactively applied to already-written guides as much as possible: say the version(s) you are basing your guide on.  That should give newer players a decent impression of how up-to-date/out-of-date the guide is. -[[User:Ion frigate|Ion frigate]] 22:32, 6 February 2013 (CET)
 
:This should probably apply to all articles - perhaps it should be a goal to tag every page with a version? -- [[User:Roy|Roy]] 20:43, 18 February 2013 (CET)
 
 
 
==Wiki engine upgrade update==
 
 
 
I sent Kornel an email about when the upgrade is coming. He is at the moment busy with getting a new version of DoomRL out and doing some server upgrades.
 
 
 
    At the moment the VPS split is our primary objective. Once that is
 
    done, we need to setup the dummy DoomRL modserver (also primary
 
    objective because it's stalling the 0.9.9.7 release :( ), and then
 
    we'll be updating all MediaWiki installations.
