Highschool of the Dead Wiki:Current Projects

This is a list of the current projects going on here at the Highschool of the Dead Wiki. The purpose of this page is to give contributors an idea of what needs to be done on the wiki. If you would like more detailed information on a project or would like specific tasks, leave your username below the project description. Please only leave your name if you are dedicated to working on the project.

Grammar and General Cleanup
This is an ongoing project. The best way to help out with this is to pick a page and read through the entire page, checking closely for grammar errors and other mistakes (incorrect information, repeated sentences or words, irrelevant material, colloquialisms and slang, etc.). Even if you are reading a page or article without intending to edit, it would be very helpful to correct any errors you may see. Go to the Staff Members page if you would like to commit to cleanup on a specific page or group of pages.

Character and Main Page Templates
This project will probably be completed by the administrators. Basically, new templates need to be created for each part of the main page, then compiled into one main page template which will then be added to the main page. For the character pages, a new template needs to be created which is similar to the infobox already in use but with more rows for information. Please only join this project if have experience using wiki syntax and feel comfortable creating templates with parameters.

Tasks:


 * Create a new infobox template for character profiles and replace existing infoboxes where necessary.
 * Create new templates for each section of the main page, create a new main page template, and apply template to the main page.

Shizuka and Alice Summaries
The summaries for Shizuka Marikawa and Alice Maresato are the last of the main character summaries which need to be completed. Each summary could take longer than an hour if it is sufficiently detailed, so it's a good idea to do these in multiple parts. Refer to the summaries on the other Main Characters pages for the general format.

Supporting Characters Pages
Many of the Supporting Characters pages are incomplete, and some have no information at all yet. These pages take much less time and effort than the main characters, but they should still be detailed. In addition, there are still a few characters who do not have pages yet, so new pages can be created for them using the same format as the other character pages.

Character Page Images
This project mainly involves replacing all character profile images with images from the anime wherever possible. Characters who have not yet appeared in the anime should have color images if possible. You can also add new images to other parts of the character page as long as the image is relevant to the material in the section. Please try not to add images you find in an image search on Google or another search engine. Instead, take screencaps from the anime then trim them to a width of 250 pixels or equivalent dimensions which will not distort the image when it is resized to 250px.

Chapter Summaries
This project is a little more time-consuming than the others. Detailed summaries need to be written for every manga chapter, which you can find links to on the Chapter List page. These need to be very detailed, and you should only write a summary if you have the chapter in front of you for guidance; regardless of how well you know the story. You can refer to the summaries already completed for Volume 01 for an example.
