UniWiki:Projects: Difference between revisions

'''UniWiki projects''' are substantial changes to UniWiki that require expert knowledge, weeks or months of work to complete or are worked on by more than one editor. Any capsuleer can take on a UniWiki project. Any capsuleer can propose a new UniWiki project by filling out the {{tl|Wiki project}} template.

|name = Unified EVE University Navbox

|proposer = [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]] ([[User talk:Arin Mara|talk]]) 15:37, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

|problem = EVE University 2.0. will replace the concept of a campuse with a concept of a community. EVE University policy and rules pages are spread out and well interlinked. It is unclear which EVE University department is responsible for maintaining which service or protected page. There is no unified navigational template that shows the width and breath of EVE University services and programs.

|description = Use [[Template:Navbox]] to construct a navbox that merges and replaces Template:HR Navbar, [[Template:Campus Group Navbar]] and Template:FCC Links, links to pages in [[:Category:EVE University]] and [[Special:ProtectedPages]] related to EVE University as an EVE Online corporation. Because there are about a hundred protected pages, it is likely that the template will include about eighty or more links. After constructing it, include it at the bottom of all pages that the template links to.<br>I cannot overstate the benefits of this project: it allows every capsuleer to inspect what each department and directorate does, it shows which department is responsible for maintaining a page, it lists all the services, policies and rules, centralized template maintenance, promotes EVE University as an EVE Online corporation and encourages good template documentation, proper page categorization and Wiki collaboration. With plenty of examples, each department manager will be able to add more pages to the template as well as reorder them based on their importance, all on a single Wiki page.

|name = Unified Mission Navbox

|proposer = [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]] ([[User talk:Arin Mara|talk]]) 15:47, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

|problem = Mission pages have no less than five separate navigational templates which confuse editors and readers alike due to how similar they are. Some are placed at the top, but they should be placed on the bottom of the page.

|description = Use [[Template:Navbox]] to construct a navbox that merges and replaces [[Template:MissionLinks]], [[Template:AnomicMissionNav]], [[Template:EpicMissionArcBoilerintro]], [[Template:Missionrelated]] and [[Template:ThePloyNav]]. After constructing it, include it at the bottom of all pages that the template links to.

|name = COSMOS Missions Navbox

|proposer = [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]] ([[User talk:Arin Mara|talk]]) 15:57, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

|problem = There is a very large number of agent and COSMOS mission pages that are either orphaned or dead-end pages, making UniWIki navigation difficult.

|description = Use [[Template:Navbox]] to construct a navbox that links to [[COSMOS]] agents/missions. Because there are hundreds of COSMOS agents, it is likely that the template will include a large number of links. After constructing it, include it at the bottom of all pages that the template links to.

|name = Perfect Refiner Template

|proposer = [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]] ([[User talk:Arin Mara|talk]]) 15:57, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

|problem = [[Perfect Refine List]] is a list of volunteers with excellent skills who refine ores. Because there is no template each refiner/user formatted their skills, availability, cost and last update date according to their ability making it difficult for readers to parse information.

|description = Examine the [[Perfect Refine List]] and propose a new template that perfect refiners could use to describe who they are, how much their services cost, when it was the last time they updated their skill list, what implants they have, their contact information and what ever else you think perfect refiners would like.

|name = Resuscitate EVE University's Epic Arc

|proposer = [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]] ([[User talk:Arin Mara|talk]]) 12:37, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

|problem = [[:Category:The Explorer's Shadow|The Explorer's Shadow]] is an [[Epic Arc]] created by EVE University members for EVE University members. It is woefully out of date.

|description = Reconstruct the Epic Arc. Propose how big it should be, what needs to be changed, coordinate with other editors, propose additional templates, ... This is an ambition project that requires an ample amount of perseverance.

|name = Template (EVE University) Events

|proposer = [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]] ([[User talk:Arin Mara|talk]]) 20:55, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

|problem = [[Archive:Events Department|Events Department]] used [[Archive:Events Template|Events Template]] page as a template for their [[:Category:Events|Events]]. That means each event page had to be created by copy-pasting the format and contents rather then being created by an actual template, making maintenance difficult.

|description = Use the new [[Template:EVEUniEvent]] to re-template each event in [[:Category:Events|Events]].

|name = Cleanup Infobox Templates

|proposer = [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]] ([[User talk:Arin Mara|talk]]) 18:21, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

|problem = [[:Category:Infobox templates]] are copy-pasted, use custom CSS which means every Infobox looks different, are difficult to learn as each author had a different vision of what an Infobox should be and are hard to maintain.

|description = Use the [[Template:Infobox]] to re-template each template in [[:Category:Infobox templates]]. [[Template:Infobox]] will disentangle CSS from data improving readability, will make sure all Infobox have a consistent look and feel, will make learning what the Infobox does easier which increases accessibility and paves the way for automatic/dynamic list/spreadsheet generation.<br> There are only two requirements: put data into them and make them stack (like on [[Classes]]). Stacking means that different height Infoboxes in two rows should align to the tallest Infobox and rows of Infoboxes should be centered. Everything else, all the CSS/support templates/HTML markup/syntax can be changed to support that. Add, delete, replace whatever you need to achieve these two goals. Having all Infoboxes colored differently is a nice to have.

|name = Wormhole Sites Navbox

|proposer = [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]] ([[User talk:Arin Mara|talk]]) 15:41, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

|problem = [[:Category:Wormhole sites]] not connected to each other making them difficult to access.

|description = Use [[Template:Navbox]] to construct a navbox that connects [[:Category:Wormhole sites]], similar to how [[Template:Combat Anomalies]] links Combat Anomalies. After constructing it, include it at the bottom of all pages that the template links to.

|sandbox = [[User:Arin Mara/Sandbox/Template:Nav]] (started before [[Template:Navbox]] was published!)

|status = In Progress

|name = Import Sidebar with collapsible lists

|proposer = [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]] ([[User talk:Arin Mara|talk]]) 08:47, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

|problem = Sometimes a [https://web.archive.org/web/20220408111949/https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=270&t=122127 Sidebar Navigational Template is more appropriate and convenient] than a [[Template:Navbox]], but currently the Wiki has no meta-template to standardize Sidebars

|description = Import the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Sidebar_with_collapsible_lists Sidebar with collapsible lists] and its adjacent Templates and write documentation that explains how to use it in a style similar to that of a [[Template:Navbox]] or [[Template:Infobox]]. Although Wikipedia uses Lua it might be possible to implement the Template with war CSS and HTML, just like [[Template:Infobox]] and [[Template:Navbox]].

|name = Wiki Talk Page Discord Bot

|proposer = [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]] ([[User talk:Arin Mara|talk]]) 09:14, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

|problem = Edits on Talk Pages need to be check though the [[Special:RecentChanges]] interface. Important discussions can cool down and editors may start to believe Talk Pages are unused if updates are not caught in time.

|description = Talk with the [[EVE University Management|Director of Information Services]] or the [[EVE University Management|CEO]] about permission to use and deploy the bot. [https://discord.com/developers/applications Develop a Discord] bot that would track Recent Changes on Talk Pages (perhaps through the Wiki's [[Special:ApiSandbox|publicly accessible API]]) and post a message in the EVE University [[Discord]] #wiki channel.

|name = Publish Kelon's Fitting Principles

|proposer = [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]] ([[User talk:Arin Mara|talk]]) 05:36, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

|problem = [[User:Kelon Darklight]] posted a number of fitting guide that will be archived or deleted from the Forum automatically after a year, yet they may contain timeless knowledge worth preserving for generations to come.

|description = Create a Wiki page that would preserve the essence and the knowledge contained within the Forum Posts. You can use [[Fitting A Ship (Working Example)]] as an example, but feel free to innovate and do it differently.
