On today's UDWiki, we have neither the need nor the manpower for new systems or content expansions. Our primary focuses should be:

• Retrofitting old systems to operate with reduced input. For example, all dates should include the year.
• Retrofitting old content to display properly on modern devices.
• Removing or marking dead links.
• Updating strategic analyses to reflect modern in-game conditions. Most pages assume all buildings contain several players. Many pages haven't even been updated to reflect the addition of ruins.
• Correcting oversights, sloppy work, and nonstandardized content.

My own projects are to:

• Correct all 100 minimaps. Certain buildings have never appeared on them, and need to be added. This includes junkyards and warehouses. Also, many rows of empty blocks have become transparent when they should be white. If I make an error, the minipap effected may appear in Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls
  • Now correct: Row 1, Row 9-10
  • No progress: Rows 2-8

• Standardize the Resource Buildings section on all suburbs.

• Collect and organize Search Odds. Maybe make individual templates for the percent chance of finding each item at each location, and include those templates on the Items pages and Category:Locationblock Components. Link to these templates from the respective Search Odds pages, so they can be updated when new data is collected.

• Standardize Category:Locationblock Components

• Remove Template:Revivification Requests from most of the pages that use it.

• Remove Template:PK Reporting from most of the pages that use it.

• Transition the EMRP report page to include year of the report. Would the day fit too?

• Look at MPM report system(s) and deal with anything defunct.

• Work on the Districts
  • Now that radio is no longer assigned by district, the concept of districts has very little value. The project should be wrapped up without expanding to the other districts. Delete pages which lack content.

• Neaten and organize Urban Dead Timeline or UDWiki:Project Timeline. Probably merge them and delete the straggler? Organize into three sections:
  • 2005-2010, The Age of Great Sieges: with most events only including a short description and a link to the page describing them in more detail. End on Escape (event)/Big Bash 3 as a Fukuyama-style "End of History." After this point, few specific events need to be listed.
  • 2010-2016, The Fight for Lives: Ends when the active population drops below 5470 for the first time in 2016, which is the number of buildings.
  • 2016-present, The Fight for Territory: The modern area of hiding in an abandoned city and seeking out small population clusters.

• Standardize and neaten the pages for all 10,000 blocks.

• Improve and formalize the main page, dictionary, and lexicon
  • Translate:
    • All items
  • Add to the lexicon:
    • Section on items
  • Add these

• Probably impossible: Get those little color-coded squares that show building statuses to default to unknown. Currently, misspelled statuses such as "save" make the building's square disappear completely. If there is a solution, it may be related to User:DangerReport/B and Template:SMF. Those templates call upon {{StatusMap {{lc:{{{status}}}}}}}, where {{lc:{{{status}}}}} is replaced with the text entered as the status in the DangerReport. It would ideally call upon {{StatusMap unknown}} if the status is not one of the accepted entries, but I don't know if there is a way to do such a thing, and I can't conceive of a viable workaround.
