Where to start? Here's a few ideas(updated in March 2017):

* # [[Special:Wantedpages|List of most wanted pages]]: these are articles that don't yet exist but are being linked to from other articles. Maybe you could help by adding content to some of them so they are created? Just click on a red link and start writing.Don't worry about links and categories and all that stuff, someone else can add them later! * # Looking for a specific page to edit? Choose one of [[Special:Allpages|all the existing pages]]or use the search box. * # [[Fitz]] always needs some attention. It's the fourth [[Special:Popularpages|most popular page]] and the [[Special:Mostlinked|most linked to page]]. You don't need to summarise his whole life on one go, just adding bits and pieces helps a lot.* # The cast of characters of [[Blue Boots]] is listed but haven't got their articles yet. Just click on the red links, don’t be shy!* Any and # Good, short, spoiler-free summaries are needed for almost all of the [[:Category:Books|books and stories]] can always do with more workarticles. Most # As to the editions/translations info, most of the stories what was published before 2003/2004 have publishing information from has been covered thanks to Willem's records up to about . Anything after that is ~forever~ under construction, as it seems that every time, but any new editions I try to add another edition I come across three more split French translations and translations after that are likely still missing. '''Even if get distracted chasing them! If you only have the name of the a translation or the knowledge that one exists's not yet listed, please do feel free to jump in and add it!It doesn't matter if you don'' Others can add t have the publisher, date, /ISBN /cover etc as that info comes available, those can be added later. Adding a small synopsis # We need more magic! There's no article yet for [[Hedge-magic]] or [[scrying]] for each story is a good idea as well, but please leave out any major spoilers! example. ** # The friendly folks over at the French site [http://www.rivages-maudits.com/hobb.php Les Rivages Maudits] have agreed to exchange information with us. If you know French and can mine information about their editions, sweet!updated by --[[User:Mervi|Mervi]] ([[User talk:Mervi|talk]]) 17:02, 7 July 2014 (EESTSite seems to be down as of March 2017)

If you'd like to "reserve" a portion of work for yourself, for example Russian translations, or place names of the Six Duchies, please edit this section and tell us what you're working on! This hopefully prevents several of us doing the same thing needlessly. '''A lot of these "claims" are several years old now, so if you see anything uncompleted here that you'd like to work on, please don't hesitate to do so.

* '''General updates about the wiki can now be found at [http://forums.theplenty.net/showthread.php?tid=406&action=lastpost the forums] : things like new features, added extensions etc.'''

* : I think templates would be easier to notice on top of the page. Like the ones you've already done. [[User:Sini|Sini]] 13:42, 20 January 2008 (EET)** :: I think I actually placed them all over the place when I tested them. It shouldn't be too hard to fix though once we reach some kind of a consensus about this. I do agree that they are more easy to spot when they're on top, especially if the article is lengthy. But I fear that they will look a bit odd on top of those pages that only have one or two lines, ie the minor characters that are barely mentioned in the books etc. --[[User:Mervi|Mervi]] 02:07, 21 January 2008 (EET)*** ::: But to avoid people getting spoiled, it would be a good for the template be on top. [[User:Sini|Sini]] 23:04, 21 January 2008 (EET) * '''There's now a template for disambiguation pages.''' The text needs re-phrasing, but the template works and includes a link to the category, so any page with the template is automatically listed in the category. --[[User:Mervi|Mervi]] ([[User talk:Mervi|talk]]) 13:11, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

*:I'm really starting to think we should allow derivative works since I've already agreed to let the Rivages Maudits people use our material (and we can use theirs) so it would be kind of pointless to keep making exceptions to the rule, right? If noone disagrees or has any comments, I'm going to alter the license next time I upgrade the script. -- [[User:Mervi|Mervi]] 16:09, 13 March 2008 (EET)** :: Looks like I forgot to mention it here although it's linked to in the footer of course.
