In a nutshell: Wiki Curators take responsibility for a small section of the wiki, help enhance the pages, review changes by others, proofread, add more links, improve style, and so on. A curator is not necessarily the top authority on a topic, but more of a coordinator for content improvement and a caretaker for existing content. Sometimes a curator and an officer/manager for a particular program may be the same person.
With a more official structure for keeping the wiki tidy also comes a change to prevent obsolete tags from getting in the way of said organizing: Any page tagged with the Template:Work in Progress stating "Please contact original author before making changes" are null and void unless also noted on this page with an estimated short-term completion date. Several pages have gone inactive with that tag on it discouraging new people to take over. By requiring an active note here with an estimated timer we'll prevent that and encourage people to either finish or release work to other interested authors.
Areas in need of a curator
Note that there are likely already experts on these topics and listing pages here is in no way a complaint or indication that the pages are not already well taken care of. We just want to make it official :D
- Planetary Interaction and related pages
- Incursion (the feature)
- Character Creator
- Living in Wormhole Space and any other similar wormhole pages, if any
Class Library Curator
One of the most central features to Eve University is our class system, and our audio recordings are organized on this page
- Page(s): Eve University Class Library
- Curator: User:Cedric debouilard
WIP pages
Please list any page with the "Work in Progress" tag here with an estimated completion date to indicate how long you want the page to yourself before letting public editors join in. A month is a fair period, two or three at most for very large works. Or just embrace wiki and don't worry about it, everything is revision controlled anyway and if you have an issue with other editors you can always contact the Wiki Manager with any concerns.
If you come across a WIP page please check here to see if it is listed. If it is not (and you can't very easily hunt down the author via forum PM or in-game) then don't let the tag block you from contributing if you would like to.
