Once a project is announced here, It will stay under ''New Projects'' for 3 months. After this time, if it is still active (has had an edit on its page within 1 month), it gets moved to ''Active Projects''. If it has not had an edit in on month or has been completed, it gets moved to ''Old Projects''


Anybody can feel free to add or debate under the subheadings, but please don't delete anything. Once there is a general consensus that a project is finished or should be abandoned it should be put in the [[Projects Archive]]. Before you put something down, please note what this page is and is not.
Once a page has been in ''Old Projects'' for 6 months and hasn't been resurrected, it is moved to [[Projects Archive]].

::::Fair, but here's a bit of history regarding the status of these stubs. They were all made by early wikizens, and as I recall, around 2009, The Rooster went and unilaterally re-merged them all into pages such as [[Roftwood Parks]], [[Ridleybank Streets]] etc. because if they aren't TRPs and are useless pages with no in-game value, they shouldn't be sitting there as stubs that can't be fleshed out. Then, sometime after he left, people re-de-merged them into their own pages again. I don't know what side of the fence I sit on (outside the obvious goal of "all of them should have original, fleshed-out pages", but that's the hardest outcome), but one thing I'm certain of is that if we go down any mass-produced stub actions, they should be preceded by some decent discussion with more of the community than has happened in the past. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/tcs}} 00:03, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

This is a queue for current community projects that need to be worked on. There is no need to post something here before getting started, this area is just to help get the community involved and ask for help. If you would like to work on a project just post within the subheading what you are doing or would like to do, and add yourself to the members list. If you would like to create a new project put it at the bottom of the page using the following format.

Cycling Projects

Once a project is announced here, It will stay under New Projects for 3 months. After this time, if it is still active (has had an edit on its page within 1 month), it gets moved to Active Projects. If it has not had an edit in on month or has been completed, it gets moved to Old Projects

Once a page has been in Old Projects for 6 months and hasn't been resurrected, it is moved to Projects Archive.

Removing "Dark" from the barricade plans

Due to confusion it was "agreed" that the dark part of the barricade plan was useless and could be removed. Perhaps some of the locals would want to help remove this from their barricade plans to avoid (stupid) survivors removing generators from buildings due to thinking they need to be dark. -- SomethingSomething.gif 12:32, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
