List

Needs to be done list: (Feel free to do these if you know how!) (italic = minor, bold = major)

• Events page: Needs updating/more descriptions.
• AI storyteller: Needs updating.
• Wiki Consistency: Some pages are not consistent with the current wiki's style. Find and update those pages.
• Alpha 9 Updates: Nearly all Alpha 9 updates have been added but a few still remain.
• Alpha 10 updates: "Joy System" All of the newly implemented features and tweaks
• Alpha 11 Updates: "Sappers and Traps" Same as above but for Alpha 11
• Alpha 12 Updates: Alpha 12 not released yet at this time, work on prior versions until Alpha 12 is released.
• Mods: Please keep adding mods from the forum to the Alpha 8 mod list
• Defs: Def elements might be something useful to add in for technical reference/modder wannabes. This stuff is being constantly revised and constructed upon, so it's your choice whether to make it its own page or to integrate it as part of another page (e.g. Colonist). I've only covered a small amount of defs (see Category:Defs for a list), and that was a year ago. Longbyte1 (talk) 05:05, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
• Main Page: RimWorld Logo needs updating to current. elStrages Appears to be current logo already, the top left logo can't be changed. Fernbhoy (talk)
• Wiki Icon: The 'O' icon needs updating to the one in the left nav or the one fomr the new logo elStrages
• Updated Wiki Navigation(Right side complete): I am in the process of adding navigation to the top of each page, It came about from the poor navigation bog at the bottom of the Architect page. elStrages
• Organs and Implants: Needs a page either in items or in the health tab. Place feedback bellow on ideas DONE, except for some regular body parts, Eye, Arm, Leg. (see Medical Items by Crystalline Cat) ~ Jimyoda (talk) 16:15, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
  • feedback here
    • Please note that pages for human body parts (i.e. Bionic arm) list a subtype of 'body part'. A page for 'Body part' doesn't currently exist. This term in this context infers human body part. However, a page named as 'Body part' should be written to either include or disambiguate from body parts of all pawns, including animals and mechanoids. And one detail to consider is whether to name the page as 'Body part' or 'Body parts'. One other relevant note, there is a page 'Table of human body parts'. ~ Jimyoda (talk) 16:15, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
• Need a better way to display data on tables without having to update the tables themselves. What's the best way to pull stats and stuff from pages to a table on another page? Zesty (talk)
• Could uses a page on pawns, if there isn't already one somewhere on the modding pages. Zesty (talk)
