- Create and expand the Glossary and Comparison list articles
- Sort out the deleted articles from the mass {{prod}} of nearly all the articles that were in the Internet Relay Chat networks category that took place from about May 29, 2008 to June 4, 2008. Extensive digging has uncovered a very short discussion related to this in the COI Archive. [5]
- Sort out viable material from the red links that were removed from the various IRC templates.
- Write new articles for some of the red links that were removed from the navigation templates.
- Reevaluate "IRC" -> "Internet Relay Chat" bulk rename discussion from June 11, 2008 to June 21, 2008 as found in the CfD Archive [6]
Rename seems to have caused more long-term problems than it solved for maintenance of both articles and categories on en.wiki, and especially for interwikis, of which most all continue to use "IRC".
Glossary and Comparison list articles
[edit]Notes
[edit]- ^ Glossary of Internet Relay Chat clients can cover both standard and mobile IRC clients; keeping the comparison charts separate makes them easier to use and maintain.
- ^ a b c Standard list article with a wikilink to each article or redirected article name
- ^ With sections for RFC-defined, RFC-extensions (server dependent), generic client, client specific; see List of Internet Relay Chat commands for most of the RFC-defined commands. An older revision of List of Internet Relay Chat commands [1] (check User:Toksyuryel/Sandbox/List of IRC Commands for mergeable content) and an older revision of IRC commands [2] will probably make a good base for Glossary of Internet Relay Chat commands. User:Tiptoety/IRC also contains useful information.
- ^ With sections on client and client-server based games; wikilink IRC poker and add a {{main}} to Online text-based role-playing game. Include information on games such as Idle RPG and merge in content from redirected articles such as mIRC game [3], Noppa [4], etc.
Howto
[edit]Using Internet Relay Chat clients as an example:
Create a entry for each client in Glossary of Internet Relay Chat clients following Wikipedia:Manual of Style (glossaries). Include an {{Anchor}} template with the client's name directly after the glossary term: {{Anchor|clientname}}.
Client articles that do not meet the notability guideline should be merged into Glossary of Internet Relay Chat clients following Help:Merging#Performing the merger. Be especially mindful of the edit summary and make sure to wikilink to the source article in the destination article's edit summary in order to maintain GFDL compliance. This needs to be done individually for each merged article. Redirect the merged article to Glossary of Internet Relay Chat clients#clientname (clientname being the same name used with the {{Anchor}} template).
Client articles that meet the notability guideline should not be merged into Glossary of Internet Relay Chat clients even if they are small stubs or currently lack proper sources; these can be expanded and fixed. If content is reused from the existing article when adding an entry to Glossary of Internet Relay Chat clients the source article should be wikilinked in the destination article's edit summary for the same reasons as above.
An infobox can be added to each client's definition but collapsible = yes should be defined for {{Infobox software}} in order to keep it compact when screenshots are included. Any images included in the infobox must be checked and any that make use of a Fair use rationale template such as {{Logo fur}} must be updated with the article name (in this case, Glossary of Internet Relay Chat clients). For a merged article, change the article name, for articles kept as standalone articles, add an additional FUR template.
Include a section for clientname in Comparison of Internet Relay Chat clients and wikilink the article or redirect as the rowheader.
