Roadmap
Hello!

Thanks for offering to help. I think it's important to give you a little backstory on this Wiki first, so you know what the situation is.

The Wiki is the result of a merger between the original Hub wiki, Wiki Gaming, and several smaller ones, including Codex Gamicus, which is where this wiki gets the game from. A user also, at some point in the past, imported about 17,000 articles from Wikipedia. So, this wiki was an effective mess when I took over, with several conflicting styles of templates, navboxes, infoboxes and articles all vying for dominance.

I took over in late 2014, and I've since standardised the citation and notice templates, infoboxes, navboxes, documentation, and article sub-pages into a unified format.

There are several major points that need working on:


 * 1) Due to the mass import (which occurred in late 2008), the vast majority of physical content on the Wiki is outdated through lack of maintenance.
 * 2) Since the majority of the wiki's content is essentially based on Wikipedia's content, I made the decision to continue using that format where possible, such as in the citation templates, notice templates, navboxes, and review score templates, which means bringing not any stragglers not in that format into line.
 * 3) The infoboxes just need amending on older articles, usually to remove links and citations; citations can still be used for release dates in the infobox, any others should go in the body of the article.
 * 4) Some of the variables from when I first started working on the main infobox have changed, so earlier ones like dev and pub just need amending to their correct variable names.

This is a general roadmap of what I hope to incorporate:


 * 1) Due to this wiki's origins, it's also a home for other video game articles, such as weapons, nations, species, etc. I'd eventually like to have a system where real-life inspirations (such as the periodic table's elements) are documented on the wiki, and the representation of it in video games is documented.
 * 2) Better use of disambiguation articles.
 * 3) Better linking back to other wikis.
 * 4) Probably other things, but those are the main things that come to mind.

Any questions, please drop me line!--TwoTailedFox (talk) 23:46, August 15, 2017 (UTC)
