*Images hosted on other domains should be localized (uploaded to this wiki, and the external links changed to point to our local copies) to protect against the external sites going down. As a secondary priority we should also copy over images that are currently hosted on other subdomains of oni2.net; though these are less likely to go away, there is no way for the subdomain owner to know whether their images are being linked to. | *Images hosted on other domains should be localized (uploaded to this wiki, and the external links changed to point to our local copies) to protect against the external sites going down.

*Review [[Special:LinkSearch|external links]] looking for pages and files that have gone down, and replace them with Internet Archive links or alternatives. Though it would need to be heavily adapted in order to actually function on our wiki, Wikipedia uses [[metawikipedia:InternetArchiveBot|InternetArchiveBot]] to automatically replace dead URLs with snapshots from the Archive that come from the time period the URL was added. Going back in time like that prevents a later snapshot from being pulled which might just be a 404 page. We might be able to learn some tricks from IABot's code, or the MediaWiki API that it employs (e.g., it seems that MW can [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Revisions return the revision] that certain content was added to a page). | *Review [[Special:LinkSearch|external links]] looking for pages and files that have gone down, and replace them with Internet Archive links or alternatives.

*Categorize our [[:Category:Media|images]] of the different enemy classes into the appropriate sub-categories of [[:Category:Factions]]. The classes that still need pictures to be categorized under them are the Syndicate's [[:Category:Strikers|Strikers]], [[:Category:Elite Strikers|Elite Strikers]], and [[:Category:Tankers|Tankers]], and the TCTF's [[:Category:Cops|Cops]], [[:Category:Troopers|Troopers]], [[:Category:SWAT Troopers|SWAT Troopers]], [[:Category:Black Ops|Black Ops]] and [[:Category:SWAT Black Ops|SWAT Black Ops]], and under the WCG category we need to tag pictures of [[:Category:Mercenary Snipers|Mercenary Snipers]], [[:Category:Thugs|Thugs]], [[:Category:Civilians|Civilians]], [[:Category:Scientists|Scientists]], and [[:Category:Security Guards|Security Guards]]. | *Categorize our [[:Category:Media|images]] of the different enemy classes and characters into the appropriate sub-categories of [[:Category:Factions]] and [[:Category:Characters]].
