 == Getting started ==
 * Consult the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents User's Guide] for information on using the wiki software.
-* [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings Configuration settings list]
 * [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ MediaWiki FAQ]
+* If you need to include a pipe character inside of a template, replace the pipe with the magic word <nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki>
 == What needs doing? ==
-* We need a list of [[Defenses]].  (Elryn is working on this.)
+*Summarizing Event posts for [[Timeline of Lusternia]].
-* Need a rewrite of the Main Page.  (Lendren is working on this.)
+*Check and update all [[Skills]] pages, priority on [[:Category:Outdated|the most outdated]] pages.
-* Need to create pages for each of the [[Races]].
+*Fill in missing [[Afflictions|Affliction]] pages.
-* All the pages linked from [[Aetherspace]] must be filled in.
+*Create new field in [[Template:AB|AB template]]: effects, and readjust skill listings accordingly.
-* The pages linked from the [[Planescape]] page need to be developed.
+*Work on [[Defenses|Defense]] pages.
-* We need pages for each of the [[Cities/Communes|Playerorgs]] and [[Guilds]].
+*Fill out [[Style Guide]].
-* The active gods need pages off the [[Divine]] page.
+*Generate templates:
-* Updates are needed for the [[HuntingGuide]], [[Influencing]], and [[Quests]] pages.  They really need rewrites.
+**DefenseTemplate
-* What [[Denizens]] and [[Adventurers]] are worth noting something about, and what should be noted?
+*Update/Rewrite:
-* Someone needs to write a [[Newbie Guide]].
+**[[Equipment]]
-* We need an [[Equipment]] page.  What should go on it?
+**[[Beasts]]
+**[[Influencing]]
+**[[Hunting]]
+**[[NewbieGuide|Newbie Guide]]
+*[[Races]]
+*More information about each of the organizations in general
+*New/Fixed Art on all pages
+*An easy place to start is adding links whenever relevant. (Wiki's aren't supposed to have [[Special:DeadendPages|dead-end pages]])
+**Link Afflictions to Skill abilities and the abilities to Afflictions.
+==Updates==
+*For now, the focus should be on having [[Special:WantedPages|every dead link]] fixed up with something. This can be a copy of the in-game help file. Use the <nowiki>{{HelpCopy}}</nowiki> template at the bottom of each copied page.
+**Actually, be careful when tackling Wanted Pages. Many terms end up on the list not because the wiki is missing an article, but because it is being linked to in a new way. In those cases, consider whether the term should become a [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Redirects new redirect] or if you should just edit the irregular link on the necessary page(s).
+== Reminders ==
+*Please Write edit summaries. It makes reviewing changes easier and helps chroniclers understand why your change was made.
+*Category naming: Names of topic categories should be singular (Geography, Planescape, Aetherspace) and names of set categories should be plural (Demon Lords, Points of Interest).
+*You can add letters to the end of link text for plurals or possessives: <nowiki>[[Vernal God]]dess [[Kiakoda]]'s</nowiki> will correctly display the text while linking to the pages that are in the brackets.
+*Avoid using the words "tribe" and "tribal" in keeping with {{News|Announce|3215}}.
+== Templates to know ==
+Templates help with standardization and maintenance of the wiki. They also greatly condense otherwise repetitious formatting. Use these whenever they apply.
+*[[Template:AB|AB Template]] is used throughout the skill pages to document each ability's syntax, cost, effect, etc.
+**[[Template:sub|Sub Template]] is closely related; used for when additional syntax or costs are mentioned later in a skill description.
+*[[Template:Area|Area Template]] should be used for every page in the Wiki that concerns an in-game area.
+*[[Template:News|News Template]] is for linking to MUD news boards, primarily Announce and Events.
+[[Category: Guides]]
