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 {{unk}} to mark text we need to fill in. That way all the unknown text will link to that template!

Factory

  1. Go through the 1.7 changelog and commit all changes to the wiki
  2. Add all extra graphics & fixes that are necessary
    • Add improved Archery specialization icons (I may have uploaded this already? still should check)
  3. 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)
  4. Add all Forged in Fire campaign scenario map info/events.

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)

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.
  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.
    • Forged in Fire narrators are just guesses...is there a real way to figure this out? Is the campaign voiced in Russian?
  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 and Template:CLevelsRow
