[edit] On-going tasks

  • Add information to the pages marked as stubs.

[edit] One-time tasks

  • Go through all pages of the Compendium of solar cooker designs and make each person's name hot in the text. You may need to search the site and find the complete name of each individual to locate their wiki page.
  • Go through all of the cookers listed at http://solarcooking.org/plans and make sure that each one has a page in the Wiki with a link to the plans. These new wiki pages should have [[Category:Solar cooker designs]] on them.
  • Search site for all instances of the word "desertification" (click the "Search" button, not the "Go" button. Make these words hot by putting double brackets around them.
  • Search site for "youtube". Then replace all links to YouTube videos with embedded videos using this syntax: ===Audio and Video=== {| |- |<youtube>code</youtube> |'''Month 2008:''' Caption |}
You'll see an example on the India page.
  • Make sure that all of the names and NGOs listed here resolve to the correct pages in the wiki. To do this, click on each link. If it doesn't resolve to a page, search the wiki for a part of the name. If you find an existing page, click back and create a redirect page by adding text like this: #Redirect [[target page]].
  • Archive Talk:Main Page; then seed the new, mostly empty page with a note encouraging people to comment or make suggestions for the main page. Beth Ogilvie 01:45, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Copy some of our general interest articles into Wikipedia. Tom Sponheim 06:07, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
As we start to do this, it'd be helpful to have a category for these articles. That way someone who decides to tackle this won't have to start with a research project to determine what has already been done. The category page could have a list of candidates... --Beth Ogilvie 22:36, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Add links to the Solar Cooking Wiki articles from related articles in Wikipedia. Tom Sponheim 06:07, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Add links to machine translation to the country pages where English is not spoken. I've done this on the Brazil page. You can build a link by seeing where the top page of the Solar Cooking Archive goes when you select an item in the "machine-translate" dropdown. Tom Sponheim 18:53, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
  • It would be really nice if someone with more experience could add at least a little bit of information about scoring and folding cardboard to the new Working with Cardboard section on the Cardboard page.--SharonID 12:54, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Completed tasks

  • India is getting long. The History section could be moved to another page. --Beth Ogilvie 23:11, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
I created a separate article for The history of solar cooking in India. Tom Sponheim 17:33, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Fix red links (add pages) on Wiki tips page (just vandalism help page?) --Beth Ogilvie 01:42, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Done. --Beth Ogilvie 17:56, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Done. Tom, is "Benutzer ohne Niveau des Deutschen" a reasonable translation of "Users without level of German"? Would "Diese Benutzerin hat kaum oder keine Deutschkenntnisse" be significantly better? Walter Siegmund 05:44, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Yes, it is much better. Even better would be this: "Dieser Benutzer hat kaum oder keine Deutschkenntnisse" Tom Sponheim 01:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the comment. Walter Siegmund 02:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Done. (I think. :) I tried it on the Sandbox and it looked good, but let me know, Tom, if it's not ok. --Beth Ogilvie 02:12, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
It is copied from Wikipedia. I think these are two different things. The former is a template that is protected. It may be used for any purpose. The latter is a template that is related to protection, e.g., announcing that an article is protected. Walter Siegmund 19:59, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Add a colored box at the top of Minimum Solar Box Cooker and other plan pages inviting readers to share their experiences and questions on the talk page. --Beth Ogilvie 01:42, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Done: Template:Plan header. --Beth Ogilvie 18:44, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Good idea. Either is fine with me. Walter Siegmund 19:55, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Done. --Beth Ogilvie 01:37, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Copy the rest of the CooKit page from the archive (anyone) and then make the archive link to the wiki, like what was done for the Minimum Box (Beth or Tom). --Beth Ogilvie 17:14, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Partly done- Content copied from archive page to wiki. Haven't copied most of the pics yet- thinking of adding a photo gallery at the bottom of the page. --Beth Ogilvie 18:44, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Done, including photo gallery. Also added a note to the old CooKit page in the archive encouraging people to visit the corresponding wiki page. This is for people who have bookmarked or linked that page directly. Did the same for the Minimum Solar Box Cooker archive page. --Beth Ogilvie 23:27, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Add a colored box at the top of the FAQ page making it easy for people to add questions. I suggest we route them to the watercooler add-topic page for solar cooking questions and to the help forum add-topic page for wiki questions; then we'll incorporate the Q&A back into the FAQ page. --Beth Ogilvie 01:42, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Done. A colored box looked tacky so it's just a note, and it just mentions Forum:Help desk and Main Page and the search box. --Beth Ogilvie 00:23, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm working on this one. Beth Ogilvie 21:37, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Finished Fall 2006 and Aug 2006. Beth Ogilvie 01:22, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Finished March 2006. Beth Ogilvie 22:52, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Done. --Beth Ogilvie 18:07, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Edit Category:Help so it's more friendly to a newbie. Suggested changes: Rewrite the first paragraph so it's not full of wiki geek speak, and move the material on stubs, wonderful as they are, to a less prominent location (another page, say Help:Stubs, referenced from the Help category page). --Beth Ogilvie 03:16, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
I moved the stub help into Help:Stubs. Walter Siegmund 18:02, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Done. Feel free to improve it! The help link in the sidebar points to it now, so it's more important than it was. --Beth Ogilvie 18:42, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Done. Added link on Category:High-resolution photographs. --Beth Ogilvie 20:50, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Done. --Beth Ogilvie 21:56, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
