Detective Conan Wiki:Projects

This section aims at much better organizing and structuring contributions to the wiki by focusing all of our efforts on specific tasks one at a time. This will not only make the whole process of adding content to the wiki less overwhelming (since Detective Conan is such a huge universe by itself) but it will also help direct new contributors towards current tasks at hand. And with proper direction, they won't be confused about where to start, what is being worked on, what still needs to be added, etc...

Of course, you are still free to make any other contributions you would like and follow (or not) this process at your own pace. The goal is really to simply propose a set of guidelines and tasks that we hope to be able to accomplish within a reasonable amount of time. We will also keep track of what's been done so that we can enjoy a real feeling of accomplishment as steps are taken and get completed. :)

Simple contributions
If you're new to the world of wiki-editing and wish to help out, you may start by doing simple tasks that only require a little bit of copy/pasting or looking at examples. For a list of such easy tasks, refer to the Contributing page.

Temporary project: Data Recuperation
On February 14th, 2014, a server failure occured and we were forced to do a major rollback to December 11th, 2013 (unfortunately the recent backups couldn't be used). Needless to say, the automatic backuping system has been revisited and made more reliable to prevent such a major rollback from happening again in the future. Thankfully, the pages were cached locally on the wiki and the uploaded images are also present although they need to be re-uploaded (so that they are added to the database and recognized by the wiki). The process of recuperating the lost data from the cache pages is all explained in details here: Detective Conan Wiki:Data Recuperation.

Projects
Here is a list of projects and corresponding task list we have in place. Major projects should be focused on first.

WIP projects

 * Create pages for episodes chronologically.

 * Collectibles
 * Movies
 * OVAs
 * TV Specials
 * Staff
 * Create Artist/Bands/Singers pages on Music (so that links from the Watch section don't lead to non-existent pages). Follow layout as in Mai Kuraki. A basic amount of content is acceptable for now.
