User blog:Missyvecc/Talk Pages - Done?

Sooo I've spent the last few days trying to get the talk pages in some better shape. In addition to making eight million recent activity notifications, I think it has been helpful for tracking down which pages need to be changed.

I didn't really hit a rhythm until I was two days in as to what information needs to be left where, so there's no real method to the madness. I just made sure that anything with an active, unresolved issue was highlighted on the talk page. The immediate goal was - every page.

Taldin mentioned the Index needing updating so I combined the two tasks. I think the Index is updated AND I believe I've organized the talk pages on all of the main pages on the Index (not the italicized redirect pages from the All Pages  . . . page).

Next, I think I'll try to streamline what things like look like on the talk pages, but it's really not vital. For example, if there was a page with totally resolved issues, I didn't clear it because it wasn't doing any harm and there was no confusion over SuggestedChanges being needed.

There is a lot to do even when it seems like there isn't.

Maybe I'll tool around the sand box next? Go through the entire wiki and make sure "gems" always starts in a lower case letter? ELIMINATE ALL OF THE OXFORD COMMAS? Bwah hah hah.

Ok, off to my real, un-wiki-related job, but also back to the quest my co-workers and I have going - the Iron Knight is going down. Here's to day 5 of editing the wiki.
