ToDo list
This is a list of ideas which are deemed either sorely needed, useful or interesting. If you're looking for something to help out with, look no further!
Royal pains in the arse
- Publicise. Srsly, need wider exposure.
- Replace all instances of Image: with File:
- Use Template:Backto at the foot of each page
- Hunt for links to and bypass redirects
- Roll out the setlist template
Layout and appearance
- Hunt artefacts visible with various layout engines and fix them
- Investigate recent CSS implementation, seeing whether any could be used to improve MuseWiki's appearance
- Wade through our templates and simplify/prettify if at all possible
- Investigate, design and implement a way of laying out media verification hash tables within pages
- Typographical students and those in the know: check whether our conventions are correct
- People with Internet Explorer 8: Keep checking the wiki to make sure it displays correctly with IE8. IE is notorious for its layout engine being incomplete and buggy and MuseWiki developers don't use Windows.
- Use <p> instead of <div> and tables where appropriate, instead using appropriate CSS rules.
Resources, searching and verification
- Scrape various media (anyone near a national library or a proficient human web-spider?) for press/coverage relating to Muse, add it to our reference archive
- Find circular references within MuseWiki articles, remove and provide rationale for doing so on the article's talk page.
- Get the official Muse board and Muselive to make sure topic IDs don't change. This is a real verification headache.
- Transcribe various audio and video interviews and add to our media reference archive.
- Anyone who knows a language other than English: translate foreign-language articles and add to our media reference archive.
- Use our reference archive to write and/or expand MuseWiki articles, adding references as appropriate.
- Write comprehensive help.
Files
- Hunt authorship and source information for uploaded files, tell authors about creative commons and ask whether they'd be happy licensing under a CC licence (tres cool)
- Descriptions for files which currently have none
Gear
- Expand and clean up the gear section—particularly suited to musicians in the know.
Gigs
- For gigs you went to: add information. Please encourage others to do so as well!
- Make sure our links to recordings are up to date, add any that are missing.
- Use recordings to construct and complete speech tables.
- Anyone who knows a language aside from English: transcribe and translate foreign speech.
Media
- Rescue videos from YouTube using youtube-dl, upload to DailyMotion and change links from MuseWiki to point to DailyMotion (to mitigate Warner f******y).

Codemonkey bananas
- Use HTML5 audio instead of the flash player for Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Safari
- Make references work for people who are not logged in
- TLS/SSL?
- Set up wiki bots for admins
- Get rid of px usage and use oooonly em
Long-term
- Get each member of Muse to join and edit. Also known as "take over the world", with originality.
