Proposals

General/Ongoing

1. Help clear the Maintenance Reports for unused/broken/wanted items!
2. Check out and verify Did you know?#Unverified claims
3. Look for pages that need help and report them here (e.g. unreadable color scheme, missing info)
4. Use template:unk "{{unk}}" to mark text we need to fill in. That way all the unknown text will link to that template!

Factory

1. Clear out Special:WantedFiles
   • Great job with all the file uploads, imahero! --Legate (talk) 20:44, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
   • It looks as if assets that should be animated gifs are uploaded as a png with all the frames next to each other (e.g. File:Avgarma.png). Is there an easy/automatic way to convert these to gifs?
   • Cannot locate: Hero Camp (See File:Avxhcamp.png), Airship cursor, Repair cursor
2. Fill in all missing text linked to template:unk
3. Go through all campaign scenario heroes (see Template:Campaign hero table)
4. Add probability of occurrence of spells in Factory's Mage Guild
5. Update Movement with movement give/take/set/replenish/nullify event information
6. Draw Factory's square-based build tree
   • Redraw Conflux build tree for hota (Conflux: Upg. Magic Lantern now requires the Garden of Life, but does not require the University of Magic)
     • Does anyone have the current file? The last version was uploaded by GroundhogYear. --Legate (talk) 15:35, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
7. Add Factory puzzle map to Obelisk
8. Add factory heroes to Adventure map hero sprites (may just need to rename files/convert to gifs).
9. Add all extra graphics & fixes that are necessary
   • Add improved Archery specialization icons (I may have uploaded this already? still should check)
   • The most recent upload for File:Specialty Archery.png was 15 May 2021. --Legate (talk) 20:44, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
10. Add images of Factory dwellings for unit pages and External dwellings table (HotA), and images of Factory creatures on the adventure map.
    • Possibly redo the Visiting scheme images for Factory dwellings. They're slightly lower quality than the other images on the page, although it's hard to tell. MurlocAggroB (talk) 06:24, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
11. Add all Forged in Fire campaign scenario map info/events.
    • World on Fire
    • Beyond the Horizon
    • Dead or Alive
    • Tomb Raiders
    • Deus Ex Machina
    • Tarred and Feathered
    • New Order
    • Homecoming
      • Thank you, Turnam, for helping fill things in - usually I'd hammer them all out over a few weeks but I have irl commitments to attend to this month. 18:25, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Specific

Community Requests

1. Write tips on campaign scenario pages (212.112.111.20)
   • Sometimes there are tips on the main campaign pages under User Commentary. (e.g. Dragon's Blood)
   • I've noticed there are a bunch of strategy/tips on https://mightandmagic.fandom.com/wiki/Tunnels_of_Ice. Should/Can we cite/copy that info here or leave a link to them?
     • The CC BY-SA seems like a very open license. I would just add attribution using the appropriate link (to the edit summary)
2. Factory's alignment will be switching to Good. Consider swapping the town matrix to Good/Neutral/Evil columns (User talk:46.138.188.145 aka Kastore (former HotA team member))

Research/Explain game concepts

1. Breath Attack could use a diagram of how it works (specifically when attacking straight up or down)
   • I found this, but I have no idea the accuracy or completeness. --Legate (talk) 03:43, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
     • 
     • This may be affected by Mechanics and Engineers as these are the first 1-tile creatures with a breath attack.
       • ANECDOTE: I did notice a...bug? nuance?...with attacker's Engineers attacking in the down-left direction vs. a 2-tile enemy not hitting the expected second tile. --Legate (talk) 16:11, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
         • Actually, this is related to the pic just above. In the pic, top row, second from the left, I expected there to be a 2nd red arrow going in the down-left direction. The diagram does not have one, which matched the in-game behavior I saw. --Legate (talk) 15:32, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
2. Obstacle Penalty could use a diagram or explanation of how it works. Is it everything inside the ring wall? Does obstacle penalty disappear when the wall goes down?

Content: Page Creation/Updating

1. Design a new main page. Save it on [[your user page/main page]] so we can see it. Candidates:
   • Phasma / Makiki
   • I won't have time to make a mockup before the new year, but what if we used one of the blank main menu screens from Category:Loading Screens, Box Art, Menus (e.g. File:AB Mutare.png) and added our own icons (e.g. Creatures, Spells, etc.) over on the right? --Legate (talk) 14:15, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
     • If anyone like this idea, feel free to take it and run with it.
     • Nice mock-ups on discord, Phasma.
2. Map Editor could use a bunch more info or link to a map editor tutorial.
3. Create a Campaign Editor page.
   • Include the no-campaign map watercolor paintings (e.g. File:Cmap hota 4.png).
4. Single scenarios: Add all the timed/object events like seen on the campaign scenarios.
   • I know this is a huge task. Figured I would just put it here for if we run out of other stuff to do in the future :) --Legate (talk) 15:42, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
   • Probably want to figure out a way to automatically export/convert text into the form we want.
5. Figure out/add narrators to campaign scenarios missing them.
   • Need: Dungeons and Devils, Spoils of War, Long Live the King, Seeds of Discontent, Elixir of Life, Warlords of the Wasteland, Conquest of the Underworld, Masters of the Elements, Clash of the Dragons, The World Tree, The Fiery Moon, Revolt of the Beastmasters, The Sword of Frost, Under the Jolly Roger, Terror of the Seas, Horn of the Abyss (campaign)
     • Forged in Fire narrators are just guesses...is there a real way to figure this out? Is the campaign voiced in Russian? --Legate (talk) 20:44, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
6. Add right-click text to campaign maps in HC, HotA campaigns (except for Forged in Fire).
   • Is there a way to copy-paste this from somewhere and not type it all in manually? --Legate (talk) 19:24, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
   • Not entirely sure what you're looking for, but are you sure it isn't in the json files generated by FreeHeroes? –imahero 19:50, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
   • It is there under "regionText" in case anyone with the tool already installed wants to add them :) --Legate (talk) 03:55, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

File upload/editing

1. Add the campaign map pictures for each campaign scenario (on the screen where you select the level bonus before the cinematic plays). (Page: e.g. Groundbreaking)
   • Looking for (with the current level colored in and previous levels covered in slashes), not (base pic with nothing colored in)
     • HotA now has an official campaign editor, so you can make screenshots there.--Archer (talk) 17:04, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
   • Status: roe, ab, sod, hc, hota

Template work (advanced)

1. Most of the the victory conditions should include 'or defeat all enemies'. Investigate and fix Template:Scenario, Template:ScenarioVars table, all scenario pages, List of maps, List of maps (HotA), all campaign scenario pages, List of campaign maps, List of campaign maps (HotA) and Template:CLevelsRow
