Migrate Tech Wiki
Some info has been copied from the Tech Info Wiki, but there's still more to do.
- I recently updated the tech info wiki after it was pointed out that it a page on there was in need of updating, but completely forgot about this Wiki. I suppose we should clear pages on the tech wiki pages after migration? It'd be helpful to provide a link from the tech wiki to here, but I'm not sure how that fits in with Wikia's policies. —Zub 01:23, 3 April 2014 (BST)

Wanted
Special:WantedPages shows current Red Links that need pages creating.
Special:ShortPages shows pages sorted by length starting with the smallest. This helps you find pages with little or no info that need work. Guesser 21:39, 24 October 2010 (BST)
Copyedit
Incomprehensible walls of text get tagged with {{Copyedit}}; this causes them to appear in Category:Articles in need of copyediting. Have a knack for explaining things? Help out.
Style guide
We have a style guide but would prefer things get done that worry too much about strong adherence to this guide at present.
