RimWorld Wiki:To-do

There are many, many things to be done on this wiki to make it better. Mark incomplete pages or pages needing work with {{Stub}} to make our job a bit easier.

Wiki consistency

Time to elaborate (or duplicate) Policies and Formatting guidelines. Basics like: Consensus, Edit Warring so that newcomers can learn their way around. Tutorials. Finish the page Help:Templates#Creating_a_template. Yoshida Keiji (talk) 09:17, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
- Zesty has already said this is not Wikipedia proper; these policies could help with keeping order but if not enforced correctly they will seem excessively draconic and scare away potential contributors-- and this has already happened, twice. PigeonGuru, Strategist ( talk | contribs | assist ) 12:34, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
~~Pages should start using Template:Define and Template:Infobox/Thing.~~

~~Pages should stop using the outdated Template:Infobox main~~

~~Need a plant template sub category for Template:Infobox/Thing~~ Major overhaul of the wiki underway, it may be that in the future neither of these templates will be used. PigeonGuru, Strategist ( talk | contribs | assist ) 12:34, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

List

Needs to be done list: (Feel free to do these if you know how!) (italic = minor, bold = major)

Guides: Most of the guides here need more people working on them. PigeonGuru (talk) 13:53, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
- Most major guides should be complete. However, some guides, especially the Rich Explorer Guide and Colony Building Guide can use some extra content. PigeonGuru, Strategist ( talk | contribs | assist ) 02:11, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
Defs: Def elements might be something useful to add in for technical reference/modder wannabes. This stuff is being constantly revised and constructed upon, so it's your choice whether to make it its own page or to integrate it as part of another page (e.g. Colonist). I've only covered a small amount of defs (see Category:Defs for a list), and that was a year ago. Longbyte1 (talk) 05:05, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
Need a better way to display data on tables without having to update the tables themselves. What's the best way to pull stats and stuff from pages to a table on another page? Zesty (talk)
- I started a short how-to on properties and queries on my user page. Does that help? --Khaim (talk) 21:42, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
- This is perhaps the main attraction of Cargo. If/when all that stuff is done, we can use data across the wiki from various pages using queries, without the pages being high-maintenance. The list queries above is a small example. Pangaea (talk) 15:15, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
Install the MobileFrontend-extension -- Crasheripot

Updates and maintenance needed on the Wiki

Freshen up the frontpage, and if nothing else, change from a table to div setup --> In progress by Pangaea
Categorise all images so it's easier to find them --> In progress by Pangaea
- Ideally with AutoWikiBrowser, because it is much faster
If relevant: update outdated images, and add missing images
- Possibly re-enable the MsUpload extension to make it easier, or do it with AWB --> DONE by Zesty
Add an Admin noticeboard --> DONE by Pangaea
Add Community portal to the Sidebar (and maybe re-order it slightly? See Wikipedia's system)
Update some of the default footer pages, as they seem outdated currently --> Partially done by Pangaea
Given a fitting license, borrow content from other wikis and improve and expand our Help sections
- See [1] for a suggestion that might work here as well
Add articles for each technology and skill, with fitting templates
Purge outdated SMW entities: (see Statistics) --> DONE by Hypolite
Edit or make new screenshots without (so many) UI elements, as seen for instance in the Events page
An RSS feed for news would be nice, but looks like we'd need this extension for it. Could perhaps put it on the frontpage then. Pangaea (talk) 13:21, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Updates needed for 1.0+

~~The updates needed list appears to be outdated. Is there a list or overview somewhere of what needs to be updated since the 1.0 release of the game?~~

As an aside, if I may be so bold as to suggest a few extensions I didn't see here, which could prove useful:

LinkSuggest: Useful for new users to easier create links without knowing the ins and outs of the page names.
Cargo: I see you already use SMW. Cargo is basically a more light-weight alternative to SMW, and set up more like a traditional SQL database, so it's easier to use queries than with the pretty complex SMW syntax, and its plethora of property and query pages. I don't really suggest to shift from SMW to Cargo as it's a pretty monumental task given you appear to be actively using SMW here, however it may be worth to read up on it. I happened to be admin/guardian on a Gamepedia wiki when they, after huge stability issues related to SMW sitewide, decided to de facto ban it and urge wikis to transition over to Cargo. So I have, or at least had, a good deal of knowledge about it, and created a bunch of templates when Pillars of Eternity transitioned from SMW to Cargo. It's not perfect of course, but I found it really useful, so wanted to leave a tip here about it, just in case admins/mods want to look into it.
RandomSelection: This can be neat on the main page for various gameplay tips and such, which then get randomly selected. Not sure if there would be a good use for it with this game, but I have seen it used to good effect on other wikis, such as Witcher 3.

The main thing I wanted to touch upon, however, is the question whether there is some type of centralised overview about what needs to be updated wiki-wide after the release of 1.0 :) Pangaea (talk) 17:33, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

The only major difference between Beta 19 and 1.0 is the addition of a food restriction system, all other changes are mostly just balancing. These will have to be discovered manually as I don't think they are mentioned anywhere in the official changelogs. PigeonGuru, Strategist ( talk | contribs | assist ) 04:28, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Updates needed for Beta 18

Like before: a list of all changes from Beta 18 that need to be added. PigeonGuru, Strategist ( talk | contribs | assist ) 10:27, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

World generation

Caves now form sometimes in mountainous maps. Inside there are special cave plants. There can also be dormant insect hives.

Content

Various different kinds of plant

Misc additions

Storyful combat: A major rework of melee combat, and a new way to report all combat interactions. Storyful combat generates a combat log that reports each blow, miss, swipe, block and fall in the combat. During or after a fight, you can review the combat log to see what happened, to generate a richer story.

New world site components (used in various situations):
- Animal ambush

Updates needed for previous alphas

A list of all changes from Alpha 17 and prior, that need to be added to their respective pages. Don't forget to <s> ~~strikethrough~~ </s> any items you complete and sign them with ~~~~. PigeonGuru, Strategist ( talk | contribs | assist ) 14:42, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Modding

Since the contents of this section are a bit harder to document and not as relevant to the majority of people visiting the wiki, i will put a collapse here for the time being.

Modders can now add “def modifiers” which, instead of replacing a whole def, change specific fields of that def. This allows multiple mods to change the same def without wiping each others’ changes (unless they change the same field, of course).
Information on how to use def modifiers is in this forum thread: [https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=32735.0]
Various enums are now defs so modders can add new ones (TrainableIntelligence , DamageArmorCategory, ImpactSoundType, ReservationLayer, BillRepeatMode, PrisonerInteractionMode, FleshType).
GUI tables (like most of the main tabs along the bottom of the screen) are now defined by data, making it easier to add, rearrange, sort, and change columns on the UI.
Increasing skill relevance
Mining skill reworked: Steeper speed penalty for low skill. Mining yield is now slightly dependent on mining skill.
Work tab boxes are easier to identify skill level for visually.

Miscellaneous Changes

[16] UI can now be scaled to arbitrary scaling factors, for players who play in really high resolution.
[11b] Mods config page shows load order of mods.

Characters

[11a] Guests are smarter and no longer walk out of the colony bleeding.
