This page is an ideal page for central communication and coordination of the Wiki. Once a job has been done can you please delete it.

Contents
To-Do
| Help Wanted: Please contribute wherever you feel you can. For information on how to create or edit an article, see the How can I help? page. |
| Wanted Pages and Categories: A "red link" represents an article or category that someone has linked to, but which doesn't yet exist. Help make the Home Brewing Wiki more complete by filling in these articles. | |
| Format Help Needed: These pages all require more formatting to make them look better. After you format an article, make sure you remove the {{needsFormatting}} text so it is dropped from the list. | |
| Stubs: A "stub" represents an article that exists, but that has little or no useful content. An article stub is the same as a "wanted" page but with a special placeholder rather than no content at all. A section stub represents a section within a larger article that needs some content. Delete the "stub" template link when you've filled in the information. |

Mistakes to Be rectified
The capitalization of article titles is a little bit haphazard right now, which in the long run will result in a lot of dead links. The usual wiki practice is to capitalize only the first letter of an entry unless the title is also a proper name.
For example, right now if I type: "Irish ale is usually not brewed with 6-row malt", neither of the links work, even though there are pages for both Irish Ale and 6-Row Malt. To get to those pages, I have to use a pipe to the capitalized version in every link.
The easiest solution is to make sure that you create lowercase redirects for any uppercase-titled pages, but in the long run it would probably be better to standardize the articles themselves.

Help Requested
I'd like to make the Abbreviations page into a category page like malt etc. I've made the Category page but how do I get the original Abbreviation link point to the abbreviation category rather than the abbreviation page?--Orfy 05:11, 16 March 2007 (CDT)
- To link to a category you put a semi-colon in front of the category name in the link. E.g. [[:Category:Abbreviations|Abbreviations]]. Without the leading semi-colon the wiki will just include it in the category instead of treating it like a link. --Bradsul 08:23, 16 March 2007 (CDT)
- Sorry I didn't actually answer your question. :) You would want to use what I said above, and set a redirect on the old page. #REDIRECT [[:Category:Abbreviations]]. I updated the only couple articles that were pointing to the abbreviations page to point to the category in this case. --Bradsul 08:25, 16 March 2007 (CDT)
Additions Requested/Suggestions
It looks like some backend stuff needs to be done in order to allow embedded youtube videos. I tried embedding my aeration time lapse as the youtube directions suggest and it doesn't work. The code just gets displayed. Check this out: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:YouTube_%28Iubito%29 Bobby M 14:11, 14 February 2007 (CST)
As detailed here:http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=29881 I think it might be wise to have a forum help section. --Olllllo 16:39, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
- Unless somebody beats me to it I will get started on this tonight. --Bradsul 16:55, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
Current Projects
I'm currently in the process of reorganizing the beer styles pages; right now there are multiple pages for many styles, and most pages are just straight BJCP definitions. See the new Category:Beer styles page and its talk page for my thoughts on why it's important to have more than just competition guidelines, and the Mild Ale page for an attempt at what a unified style page might look like. I also thought about splitting the BJCP and GABF styles out into their own individual pages, but I thought I'd give it a try this way to start with. Let me know what people think. --Chapka 06:35, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
I'm also planning to tackle the rest of the Beer ingredients subpages eventually, especially the grain and malt pages, which I'd like to reorganize along the same lines as the hops pages. --Chapka 13:21, 10 September 2007 (CDT)
The wine page is just a skeleton at this time. Any wine making experts willing to work on it would be greatly appreciated.
The cider page is in progress, but incomplete.--Torchiest 11:31, 11 February 2007 (CST)
The mead page has basic, and needs a lot of work.
- More specifically, the sub-categories of mead need pages and descriptions.--Torchiest 19:31, 27 February 2007 (CST)
- We also need comments on the structure, layout and the way it's looking.
- We need more pages like the whirlpool page.
- Detail pages on chillers and other gadgets would be good.
I've been adding to the keggle and chillers here and there.Bobby M 23:04, 13 February 2007 (CST)
- It'd also be great to have some stuff like individual brewers set ups.--Orfy 13:33, 11 February 2007 (CST)
I put up basic information on the Yeast Starters page. If anyone would like to take a series of photos of themselves going through the process, and put them up, it would really help a lot.
--Torchiest 18:45, 11 February 2007 (CST)
There is now a hops template available. Look in the discussion section of the hops page. --Torchiest 03:29, 12 February 2007 (CST)
I have finished the malt template. It's in the discussion section of the malt page. --Torchiest 09:47, 13 February 2007 (CST)
- Just so that it is actually said somewhere, the Malt page is deprecated and has been replaced with the Malt category (available here). I've protected the original Malt page from editing until either existing links are changed or a redirect is set (will hopefully take care of this tonight unless someone beats me to it). --Bradsul 15:26, 29 March 2007 (CDT)
I'm going to be washing my belgian wit yeast soon, I'll take pictures and document that as it goes along. --z987k 04 May 2007
