Dear Visitor, if you have some time, the wiki gladly offers you some options:

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)

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. When I did that last big one I had to use cheat engine to change the zoom so that I could do it with fewer screenshots. And yes it's entirely possible there's an easier way. Possibly make use of heroesmaps.org/heroes3mapscan. –imahero 21:22, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
- I do just that: turn off all animations in map editor, take multiple screenshots, delete the unnecessary areas, align them in GIMP, save an original copy, and finally create a small copy for uploading here. I'm doing them over time since they take a while, and I've done all the small and medium maps so far. I'll do some more before the year ends too :) 12:47, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
The high-level map pictures for each campaign scenario (on the screen where you select the level bonus before the cinematic plays).

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)
- I found this, but I have no idea the accuracy or completeness. --Legate (talk) 03:43, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
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!
1. Start from List_of_maps_(HotA)

For Template:Scenario: Make templates to support bonus section (See bonus section of template for examples):

~~Creature bonus (e.g. {{Crbon|Royal Griffin|6}} if the bonus is 6 Royal Griffins)~~
~~Artifact bonus~~
~~Building bonus~~
~~Hero bonus~~
~~Resource bonus~~
- Done...but has an alignment problem. --Legate (talk) 16:41, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
- I changed it a bit. But I can't get rid of the border on the resources. If there was no border it wouldn't appear so out of line with the others I think. –imahero 21:21, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
- Just remove the "border: 1px solid #{{Blue 2b}};" from the table style at the top. I originally added the border to make it close to what you see in game, but I don't really have a pref. --Legate (talk) 21:28, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
- Not that border. The white one around the gold/sulfur/etc. –imahero 22:10, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
Check if these items can be displayed using these templates:
- First Aid Tent (i.e. war machines)
- Prayer spell scroll (i.e. specific spells on scrolls)
- Heroes from a certain scenario (See Steadwick's Fall)
- Random Hero
- Creatures appearing at a certain location (See Steadwick's Liberation)
- Secondary Skills
- Certain level of Mage Guild
- bonus primary skill stats
Figure out why the numbers from Template:Scenario player count change position when used in Template:ScenarioInfo.
- Not referring to the fact that there is only one number if they are the same. Instead referring to that they actually move in a bit down and to the left. –imahero 23:59, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
