Main List
| Item | Task | Status | Date Added | Last Updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Example Item | Example Task | Available | 13/06/2011 | 13/06/2011 |
| VariationalAction2/Industry Tiles | Right now, VariationalAction2/Airport Tiles just links to VariationalAction2/Industry Tiles. 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 |
| VariationalAction2/Signals | 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
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
