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

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)

Specific

Site interface

  1. Read through the site interface strings and see if anything could be changed to benefit the site.

File upload/editing

  1. 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)
  2. The pics for Template:Cove unique buildings are a different size from all the other towns' unique buildings. Edit them to match.
  3. Upload missing cursor pictures (Page: Cursors)
  4. 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)

Backend Categorization/Maintenance

  1. Categorization: Sort Category:Miscellaneous_pictures into real categories.
  2. Use/sort/delete unused files and unused templates.
    • The remaining unused files relate to Factory, which will hopefully be added soon!
  3. Go through category tree and sort files in weird/generic locations
    • Most (all?) of the pages directly in Category:Maps do not actually have a category of maps. Does the wiki just need time to update to reflect the category correctly?
    • Done otherwise. --Legate (talk) 20:33, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Page Creation/Updating

  1. Design a new main page. Save it on [[your user page/main page]] so we can see it.
  2. 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)
  3. 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?
  4. Map Editor could use a bunch more info.
  5. Most HotA campaign pages need work:

Community Requests

  • Will you write tips on campaign scenarios' walkthough?--212.112.111.20 17:06, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

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.
