Tasks

  • To add a task: create a new row on the table, define the task in the 'description' column, give the task a name in the 'task' column, and assign a category in the 'category' column.
    • "Category" should indicate what kind of task it is ('Images' for uploading images, 'Templates' for adding/editing templates, etc.)
    • If there is a discussion page in discord, link to it next to the task name.
  • To volunteer to take on a task: add your signature in the 'volunteer' column of the task.
  • When a task is complete: Use strikethrough on the text, an admin will then move the task off to the 'completed' list.

Copy & paste for adding a task row:

Category Task Volunteer Description
Template Add flag property to {{Area infobox}} (discord) Cryebunnie At this point many regions have flags! For those it would be good to use the flags as the main infobox image. (Paused, need to evaluate how to handle 'Region' pages.)
Missing information Add Pilgrim's Traverse enemy status resistances (discord) As title states.
Missing information Add Ishgard restoration turn-in scrip values (discord) OnyxVindicator As title states.
Correction Update material-type for seasonal miscellany pages (discord) Historically these have been labelled in the wiki as "miscellany", which isn't accurate. See: Ballroom Etiquette - Local Libations
Templates Add dye info to furniture pages (discord) Erin Umbreon The item infobox doesn't actually accept any dye parameters at the moment, only the equipment boxes do. It probably makes sense to just move the dye info into {{default item parameter}} at this point
Template Create page image gallery template (discord) To standardize image galleries on pages such as NPCs/gear/items/etc. across the wiki. (essentially remove the need for constantly typing the gallery parameters each time)
Images Add all fish prints to fish pages (discord) As title states.
Templates Condense all scrip exchange vendor lists into one vendor (discord) As title states.

SMW Add category or properties to gather-able items to make them able to be queryed (discord) For future patch notes (and also to make sure we don't have to manually add them to the Fishing/Mining/Botany Logs)
Template Clean up achievement infobox properties (discord) The achievement infobox should set the same properties that are common to other pages such as "Has patch" instead of "patch".
CSS Create sticky-header functionality in CSS (discord) Add functionality in CSS to have headers of tables be sticky to the top of the page, for ease of readability with long tables.
Template Create a gear image gallery template (discord) Create a gallery template to standardize galleries for gear pieces.
Page Fill out missing Auto-Translator phrases and break categorizes into sub-pages (discord) As titles states.

Page Overhaul Hairstyle Page (discord) Cryebunnie
  • Create category for race-specific hairstyles
  • Add all hairstyle icons for all races/genders
  • For all unlockable hairstles, show image of hairstyle on each race that can wear it
  • Update category with further past contest entries
Page Create "Gear Set" page (discord) Cryebunnie Missing a page explaining what gear sets are.
SMW Stop categorizing enemies as NPCs (discord) Currently all enemies are also categorized as NPCs. This makes it difficult to query them separately. Setting any aggression level adds the "enemies" category, but it should also prevent the NPC category from being added. If we make this change, we'd need to ensure that any queries are updated accordingly.
Template Update loot lists to use a table format (discord) Gurgum As title states.

Template Table template for Housing Item pages Convert the tables on the pages for types of furniture (Window, Furnishing etc) to use a consistent "housing item table" template that gets its items via SMW query. This will be similar to how the tables for armor/weapons/etc already work, and will let us consistently use STFI for displaying item icons with dye channels. Erin Umbreon (talk) 22:08, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
Manual Edit Update usage of gil template Eliott Nightray (talk) "We have {{gil|123}} and similar templates to render currency amounts: Gil 123. These aren't used consistently, particularly in the cost parameter of item infoboxes; this means the currency icon sometimes shows up on the right side of the number instead of the left. Eventually, for consistency, we should replace all uses of {{gil}} 123 and 123 {{gil}} across the whole wiki with {{gil|123}}." - Erin Umbreon (talk) 03:27, 13 August 2025 (UTC)
Template Create an equivalent of Template:Recipe list island sanctuary for Free Company Crafting Eliott Nightray (talk) "We should create an equivalent of Template:Recipe list island sanctuary for Free Company Crafting so that I can use Template:Recipe list on pages like Cryptomeria Lumber." - Freedom4556 (talk) 15:10, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
Template Add field to Quest Infobox Template to indicate Quest Sync & Level Sync range “Requesting a change to Template:Quest infobox for a field to indicate quest sync and maybe the level sync range (for beast tribes and Stormblood+ sidequests).”
Template Remove “extractable” and “collectable” fields from gear templates Eliott Nightray (talk) “On gear templates, the "extractable" and "collectable" fields need to be removed in a safe way since those systems no longer function in a way that needs them. Materia creation no longer destroys items, so all are extractable and collectables are no longer real gear, but separate "Rarefied" items. See Amateur's Headgear for an example. Freedom4556 (talk) 19:25, 1 February 2023 (UTC)”
Template Create Retainer Venture Template “It would be great if someone skilled in the "ask" syntax could make a template similar to Template:dropped by and Template:vendor list for the various retainer ventures.”
Missing information Add available Trust NPCs to each dungeon As title states - likely need to update the infobox parameters to support this.
Missing information Add Gathering node tables for all ARR nodes Eliott Nightray (talk) Examples of what the table should look like on area and individual node pages may be found here:
Missing information Fill in missing VA information Eliott Nightray (talk) Many NPCs who are voice acted are missing their VA credits. Credits can be found in the last quest of every X.0 and X.55 patch.

Note: Might need a template to help categorize these entries.

Manual Edit Replace remaining instances of "beast tribe" and "tribal" with "Allied Society" and "Societal" Eliott Nightray (talk) As request states.

Manual Edit Adjust all sources of Experience EXP to acount for Stat Squish. "As of Patch 6.0 all sources of Experience EXP are now out of date. The Bozjan Southern Front FATEs and Zadnor FATEs Experience EXP and maybe Mettle Mettle values" - Freedom4556 (talk) 20:50, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Images Add portrait & adventurer plate examples (discord) Cryebunnie Add images provided by Glotos to framer kit pages. Remove background from Adventurer Plate ones.
Missing information Update Portraits page Cryebunnie Existing page doesn't cover a lot of the current functionality of portraits and how to make them.
Missing information Add Desynthesis Guide to Desynthesis page (discord) Old desynthesis guide was long out of date and nuked. Current desynthesis page needs information regarding how to effectively raise desynthesis skill level.
Missing information Backfill required items onto old quest pages (discord) Gurgum The old key items pages are being created, but a lot of old quests are missing 'req-items' data.
Template {{Spoiler}} and {{Spoiler section}} templates (discord) Erin Umbreon
  • No parameter for identifying what the spoiler pertains to (Example: This section contains spoilers for Patch 7.4 MSQ)
  • The show/hide button is small and easy to miss. "{{#spoiler}}" uses a better implementation for showing the contents within a clear box, and the button is easy to see and toggle.
  • Missing {{documentation}}
  • Missing Template Data
Template & Missing information Add data point for glove-appearance-overwrite on Monk weapons (discord) Create a property assigned to Monk weapons to show if the weapon appearance overrides the hand gear appearance.

Bug Reporter Status Description
Icon in corner of infobox offsetting infobox contents (discord) Em'zira Mythra Backlog Certain icons when used on the top right corner of the infobox offset the contents of the infobox. See example: Hall of the Novice
"Last edited" is displaying incorrect time & date (discord) Discord User Backlog The "last edited" section at the bottom of a page is not aligned with the page history.
Templates {{Retired}}, {{Future content}} and {{Quotation}} are cut off on mobile and cannot scroll (discord) Boblers Backlog Notices are cut off horizontally, and it is not possible to scroll horizontally to see the cut-off portion. Quotation cuts off part of the format.
Same vendor listed multiple times in Blacksmith's Gobbiegoo (discord) Discord User Backlog Vendor Denys is listed 3 times and it is unclear from the list format that it is for different quantities.
"Unknown" is not a valid value for "Has availability" (discord) Gurgum Backlog For some reason, "Unknown" isn't being added to the constraint schema for the property "Has availability".
