Archive:Housekeeping

This page is for all efforts that relate to presentation of the Citizendium wiki, as opposed to the academic content. These efforts are essential to ultimately opening this wiki to the general public.

• Alter all templates and categories to change Wikipedia references to Citizendium.
• Determine which infoboxes or templates render improperly or leave stray tags, and fix them.
• File bugs as approriate.
• Flesh out the Citizendium Pilot namespace, and eventually the Citizendium namespace.
• Locate non-family-friendly articles and either hide or remove them.

Changing Wikipedia References

Because Citizendium started life as a direct copy of most of the sections of Wikipedia, there are a lot of references to Wikipedia that don't belong. For instance, anything that says that refers to Wikipedia rules and guidelines should point to the relevant Citizendium guidelines. Make sure to check:

• Templates
• Category names

Broken Boxes and Templates

Some infoboxes and templates are generating stray opening and/or closing tags. Also, some infoboxes just aren't working at all. Special:Random is one way to check pages at random for these sorts of problems. Please check the relevant wikipedia page to see if it's a problem localized to our wiki. If it is, note the page, and list it in CZ:Housekeeping/Broken pages. Be aware that images are not imported, so don't report any layout problems due to the images not showing up.

Bug Reporting

Our wonderful technical staff is working hard to get this thing off the ground. Since they are only 3 people, they need us to look for bugs. If you notice something not working, please report it at [forge.citizendium.org the development site]. To do this, you need to create an account and file a bug report --Step by Step bug report explanation coming later.

Flesh out namespaces

For obvious reasons, a lot of the Wikipedia namespace was not copied over to this wiki. A lot of that stuff is policy related and we'll have to wait on decisions for, but some of those pages are ones we can write, like help pages.
