GRFSpecs:Todo

To-Do List

Currently the main task is to fix all conversion errors from the change of wikis. Have a look at the "oldest pages" list. Anything dating to 12 June has not been reviewed.

Many terms are used inconsistently. Although it is not a big priority to fix them right now, add an entry or edit existing ones at TermConsistency if you spot any inconsistencies regarding term names.

This page contains a list of 'jobs' that remain to be completed, please follow the example listing when adding/editing information in the table.

• Item - internal link to a page.
• Task - What needs to be done.
• Status - Available (no one working on it), In Progress (someone working on it, include name in parentheses ()), Complete (item has been finished)
• Date Added - DD/MM/YYYY format
• Last Updated - DD/MM/YYYY format

Main List

Item	Task	Status	Date Added	Last Updated
Example Item	Example Task	Available	13/06/2011	13/06/2011
VarAction2Cities	Rename to VarAction2 Towns	Done	14/06/2011	15/06/2011
TownZones	Explanation of town zones. Links to all appropiate places.	Done	14/06/2011	16/06/2011
Storages	Explanation of persistent and temporary storages. See TermConsistency.	Done	14/06/2011	14/06/2011
VarAction2IndustryTiles	Right now, VarAction2AirportTiles just links to VarAction2IndustryTiles. This is okay (we should not duplicate information), but that page has almost no explanation about being also for airport tiles.	Available	14/06/2011	14/06/2011
VarAction2NewSignals	This page does not follow the same format than the other VarAction2 pages, and it seems to include information about callbacks. Variables are not named.	Available	14/06/2011	14/06/2011
VarAction2 Towns	There are variables only mentioned in the table and not in description.	Done	14/06/2011	15/06/2011
Page to be created	Description of the 00-3f, 40-5f, 60-7f, 80-ff VarAction2Advanced variable ranges. Comment about why most 80-FF variables are not documented. Also mention the relation between VarAction2 and Action6/7/9/D variables.	Available	14/06/2011	14/06/2011
SpriteLayouts	Move the general explanation (without syntax) for spritelayouts, sprite&recolour flags and bounding boxes for Stations and Houses/Industries/Airports/Objects to a separate page. Also incorporate examples for typical configurations for stations with track and normal buildings (e.g. | this general advice).	Available	14/06/2011	14/06/2011
RealSprites	Add further explanations and recommendations about sprite compressions.	Done	14/06/2011	15/06/2011
IndustryTypes	This page seems to be superfluous. Everything is on IndustryDefaultProps except for the special cases of the AI callback. Maybe they should just be moved to the callback.	Available	16/06/2011	16/06/2011
RandomAction2	Check descriptions for airports and airports tiles. They seem to use the same bits as stations, but without triggers yet. Also unify the naming of the section headings (but also fix the links on the main page if you change them). Which triggers apply to industries, which to industry tiles?	Available	18/06/2011	18/06/2011
GRFSpecs:About	Write an "About" page for the NewGRF specs.	Available	18/06/2011	18/06/2011
Page to be created	Summarise fixed IDs of canals and railtypes which are currently scattered between Action0/Canals and Action3. Also add or link to example sprites which specify the order and usage of the sprites.	Available	18/06/2011	18/06/2011
Action0/Vehicles/Trains	Add or link to templates for vehicle 'boxes' with length 1/8 to 8/8.	Available	18/06/2011	18/06/2011
Action5	Add or link to example sprites which specify the order and usage of the sprites. Old wiki already had this for coast sprites.	Available	18/06/2011	18/06/2011
VariationalAction2/Airports	Document airport variables as far as they are implemented.	Done	19/06/2011	19/06/2011

We should come up with a list of usable categories for the pages, thus that some overview / content pages can be auto-generated Suggestions:

• VarAction2
• Action0 (Action0Trains, Action0RoadVehicles, ...)
• Actions (Action 0, Action 1, ...)
• Default values (like vehicle IDs, tile IDs, cargo labels...)

Should page names change to be "better" and more wiki-like: VarAction2Houses -> VarAction2 Houses etc? According to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipediabot/movepages.py it seems that it would not be a massive amount of work.

Examples to be Written

Examples should be short, well commented and clearly show how to use the featured item. See VarAction2Objects#Examples
