UserWiki:CIA391

About Me Version 1.1

This is my first version of my userwiki. I hope to make this more useful for users who wish to use this to their advantage so I can help them.

Howdy folks I am CIA391, but y'all can call me Chris.

I am a gamer who tries to keep on top of things. If you have any questions please PM me and I will try my best to answer. Or I will show you to someone who can help.

I am rather active here. And will always respond if talked too. You may reach me here, on Halo Waypoint, on Halo Archive, on Twitter, or through the Halopedia Discord.

I personally love a good chat. I hope we can all be friends. (^-^)/

Phase 1 Main Wiki stuff

Step 1 Tidy up

This step is getting the wiki in a usable state and allows us to make radical changes.

• 1. Tidy the wiki by getting majority of the pages in the Special Pages areas tidy.
• 2. Clear out Project Userbox, and tidy up the mess it causes.
• 3. Clear out old forums and other group related materials predating 2012. This allows us to have a clean slate.

Step 2 Policy's and Rules

This step is getting the wiki rules, policies, guidelines, and other similar stuff up to date.

• 1. Get the Admin, Patroller, Rollbacker and other roles and ranks more defined.
• 2. Get the Policies more defined and updated.
• 3. Get the Guidelines more defined and updated.

Step 3 Improve the Main page

This step is improving the main page of the wiki and its navigation bar.

• 1. Talk possible improvements with admins.
• 2. Talk possible improvements with Patrollers and Rollbackers.
• 3. Implement said improvements if possible.
• 4. Ask for possible improvements from Halopedians and make a list.
• 5. Keep list for future updates.

Step 4 Conventions

This step is to improve and implement our Template/Category/File naming conventions we have. Also make better the source conventions. This will be defined in the Policies and Rules step but is something expanded upon here.

• 1. Decide what will be used for sources and naming conventions.
• 2. Start using the new conventions.
• 3. Update old names to suit the new conventions.
• 4. Update the old sources to suit the new conventions.

Phase 2 Keeping us going

Step 5 Internal Community improvement

This step is getting the wiki community fun

• 1. Reset featured articles for a clean slate.
• 2. Add community events on the wiki.
  • 2.1. Monthly polls.(Example)
  • 2.2. Weekly featured articles/pictures/videos for users to vote for.(rotate them monthly so the homepage is more dynamic)
  • 2.3. Aprils fools day and other holiday celebrations.(we make a special Wiki skin for the holidays)
• 3. Make more dynamic news. More detailed and have a image to help.
• 4. Community Update on the Homepage.
• 5. Be welcoming to new members.

Step 6 External Community improvement

This step is to help build relations with other communities outside our internal wiki one.

• 1. Tidy and add to the Halopedia Community Portal using my other Community hubs as a example.
• 2. Use the Community portal to add community's to the Sidebar.
• 3. Start a Halopedia Twitter and Facebook and give admins access to them.
• 4. Add a bot to the Twitter and possibly Facebook so some automated posts are done to make life easier on the admins.
• 5. Add posts on Featured stuff from step 5.
• 6. Add Admin and Patroller made projects.

Step 7 Get more Patrollers and Rollbackers

This step is to help encourage members to become Rollbackers and Patrollers.

Phase 3 Keeping our work looking great

Step 8 Content

This step is generally what already happens, but is here so people have stuff to work on.

• 1. Use the Halopedia:Projects/Improvement to improve pages or add pages we need based on new media.
• 2. Use the Special:WantedPages to add pages we need.
• 3. Use the Special:AncientPages to updated old pages to suit newer standards.

Step 9 Keeping an eye on stuff

This step is kinda just the stuff that needs to be kept an eye on so they dont go out of hand in the future.

• 1. Keep an eye on the Special:SpecialPages to make sure they are kept in check.
• 2. Keep a possible way to get feedback on the Main Page and impliment the improvements we get or remove outdated stuff.
• 3. Update Old naming conventions to the new ones as done in Step 4.
• 4. Update old source conventions to the new ones as done in Step 4.
• 5. Keep updating the stuff we do in Step 5.
• 6. Keep the twitter and Facebook active with content.
• 7. Keep up with Step 7 unless we have plenty of them.
• 8. Keep up with 8 in general like we do already.
