The Wiki Revitalisation Project is an official effort of the Department of Education for archivists to focus on maintaining — that is, cleaning up, updating and expanding — existing articles on the DemocracyCraft Wiki. Proposed by FloofyLunafox, it is currently in phase one.
The below documentation for this project has been adapted and expanded from the proposal of FloofyLunafox in internal communication channels of the Department of Education.
Goals
The Wiki Revitalisation Project would entail the establishment of a formal structure to detect any rotten pages on the wiki, encourage work on updating and establishing a consistent wiki format and ensure the backlog of required changes is (largely) dealt within the period of August-December.
For this the implementation of the following measures should be considered:
Quality
Establishment of a temporary project maintenance triage system, where each page is assigned a category from the following set:
- WRP-5: very high priority: severely outdated, empty, incorrect or simply vandalisation
- WRP-4: high priority: heavily outdated
- WRP-3: medium priority: few changes needed or missing references
- WRP-2: low priority: only style guide violations or is a stub
- WRP-1: clean and finished article, the ultimate goal for each article
Quality should be marked on an article's main page using the {{quality}} template.
Importance
For new pages similarly we will assign an importance level from:
- Class 5: critical importance; necessary for a basic understanding of Redmont, its society and its history
- Presidents, such as 1950minecrafter
- Major historical events, such as the June 2026 general strike
- Major political parties, such as the Democratic Reformist Party
- Cities and towns, such as Hamilton City
- Class 4: high importance; needed to develop a deeper understanding of the server
- Influential political parties
- Vice presidents
- Class 3: medium importance; helpful for specific research
- Secretaries of departments
- Political parties with limited influence
- Elected officials with multiple terms or offices held
- Well-known newspaper or broadcaster
- Class 2: low importance; niche topics
- Elected officials with one office or term held
- Businesses of medium size or listed at a stock market
- Registered political parties with little relevant history
- Obscure newspaper or news outlet
- Class 1: do not meet the notability requirements and should be moved to the draftspace
Importance should be marked on an article's main page using the {{importance}} template.
Completion and maintenance
Following a phase where all pages are reviewed and assigned, a drill down approach to move as many pages as possible to WRP-1 should be performed, where like before archivists take on an assignment to do one page update or creation, finish it, submit for review and then move to done.
Articles should be reviewed at least monthly, with an updated {{as of}} tag at the top. Class 5 articles should be marked as patrolled and reviewed often to ensure they are of the highest quality.
