| WIKI WORK IS FUN! |

| ENOUGH FOR A JOKE OR TWO THEN IT GETS BORING |
- If you're not familiar with wikis, see OniGalore:About. If you're not confident about editing a wiki, see Help:Editing.
These are only suggestions, although some are more obviously needed than others. Whatever in this list looks interesting to you, feel free to tackle it, even if you only have a little time here and there. However, if you are leaving a project half-done until you can resume it, please note that under the item in this list.
Thanks for whatever you can do to contribute.
General wiki work
- Look at the list of flagged articles and see if there's anything you can help out with. There are a number of articles which need to be updated or finished.
- Just browse Special:Wantedpages, and pick an interesting topic to write about!
Improving the documentation
BSL tutorial(s)
Despite its relative simplicity, BSL is vastly under-documented. Most of the stuff is well-known to experts, but designing a comprehensive guide that will get novice scripters started and keep them going requires didactic skills and lots of patience. Long-term goals are: a cross-referenced set of mini-tutorials that document the functions and variables in a standalone way (see, e.g., ai2_allpassive); maybe a functional breakdown of an original script (see HERE); and redirects so that typing the name of the variable/function in the Go/Search box leads to just the right place.
Oni 2 and beyond...
Some fans use the wiki to write sequels, prequels, interquels (what may have happened to Konoko in the time gaps between the original chapters, e.g., between Chapter 12 and Chapter 13) or even paraquels (e.g., what was happening on the Syndicate side during Oni?). You can then list your work HERE. Just be aware of the rights issues attendant with posting fan fics here. Also, plagiarism is not nice, but "Oni 2" can still be influenced by anime/cyberpunk/other references. See HERE to review the influences so far, elaborate on them some more, or point out new ones.
