Dear Visitor, if you have some time, the wiki gladly offers you some options:
General/Ongoing
- Help clear the Maintenance Reports for unused/broken/wanted items!
- Check out and verify Did you know?#Unverified claims
- Look for pages that need help and report them here (e.g. unreadable color scheme, missing info)
Specific
Site interface
- Read through the site interface strings and see if anything could be changed to benefit the site.
File upload/editing
- Upload pictures of all town creature dwellings
and town unique buildings. (Page: e.g. Template: Tower creature dwellings)- Fortress creature dwellings currently exist (with the exception of the Wyvern Nest)
- The pics for Template:Cove unique buildings are a different size from all the other towns' unique buildings. Edit them to match.
- Upload missing cursor pictures (Page: Cursors)
- The remaining wanted pages are actually missing map files.
- What is the best way to get map files? Open up the editor and screenshot/crop? Find them somewhere online? --Legate (talk) 20:54, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
- I don't know how Phasma was doing it but I just make screenshots in the map editor and then realign them all after.

Page Creation/Updating
- Design a new main page. Save it on [[your user page/main page]] so we can see it.
- Breath Attack could use a diagram of how it works (specifically when attacking straight up or down)
- Obstacle Penalty could use a diagram on how it works. Is it everything inside the ring wall? Does obstacle penalty disappear when the wall goes down?
- Map Editor could use a bunch more info.
- Most HotA campaign pages need work:
- Alright, the new scenario template (Template:Scenario) is sweet. Let's update all the scenarios to it!
- Start from List_of_maps_(HotA), click on the scenario names and paste this template into the scenario page:
{{scenario | scenario = {{PAGENAME}} | description = xxx | num_play = 3/2 | size = M | source = roe | victory = def_all | loss = all | allies = | enemies = }}
- Transfer the info from the map list to the scenario page.
- Copy the description from the original template on the scenario page before you delete it.
- NOTES:
- Any scenario pages with red text on them are not yet updated.
- I'm leaning towards doing allies/enemies as a second pass as that requires having the game open...
- Only about 250 left to do! Wooo!
- Status:
Community Requests
- Write tips on campaign scenario pages (212.112.111.20)
Notes
- Use <li value="your_number_here"></li> to restart a numeric list if there are breaks in between the numbers (e.g. comments).
- Use "#*" to add a comment to an item without breaking the numbering.
- For discussion surrounding current changes, use Changelog Chat.
