Latest revision as of 19:13, 19 November 2024

I'm trying to restructure the wiki a bit and then create more content to answer the most basic questions people have about the Fediverse.

Finished changes

Ongoing changes

  • Fediverse: I'm drafting a new Fediverse article where you can find answers to basic questions in a more structured way. Draft:New Fediverse Article
  • Colors: In the future, colors (like used in the Portals) will represent the main questions the wiki is trying to answer. See table on the bottom.
  • The Main page should already have a section explaining what the Fediverse is.
  • Sidebar: I'll edit the sidebar to contain these items: Main page, The Fediverse (What is it?, How do I join?, How do I use it?), This wiki (About, Navigation, Categories, Editing/Translating), For Editors, Guides & Guidelines, Todos, Special pages, Help about MediaWiki, Recent changes
  • Templates: Template:Getting started links will be edited.
  • What people usually tell you about the Fediverse, Getting started with your Fediverse account, Welcome to the Fediverse Quickstart guide might be renamed or split/merged with different articles.
  • Unrelated to the other changes, but a note for myself: I'm adding image captions to the pages of each image and making sure they are seen in each article using the image.

Finishing touches

  • I'm going to edit the editing guides to document the new changes.
  • I'm going to check all reports to fix errors.
  • I'm going to try to find translators to update/fix the translations.
