Wiki gardening

Open Food Facts wiki is dedicated to documentation and knowledge sharing. It can be also used for project information or other usages.

What?

Wiki gardening is a way to maintain the wiki up to date and efficient.

Why?

• The wiki helps people to better contribute to Open Food Facts.
• The wiki needs to present things that are not (still) well explained on Open Food Facts websites or tools.
• If the wiki is not presentable, it loses credibility.

Tasks

• Rewrite and refactor to improve readability:
  • typos, misspellings, ...
  • rearrange pages, split long pages into smaller ones, delete pages
  • add intro to pages to give context, make links between pages
  • make it easier for newcomers to find what they are searching for. Information most useful to a large number, should be simple to access from the front page.
• Categorize pages, to allow exploring things by categories
• Update content that need to be: see Category:To be updated
• Ensure information is up-to-date: use the Category:To be updated to identify contents that need to be
• make wiki nicer (tip: use Wiki Icons)

Tools

• Pages listed in Special:SpecialPages:
  • Long pages
  • Short pages
  • Orphaned pages
  • [...]
• Wiki Icons

🎯 Roadmap

• Install quality of life Wiki extensions
• Enable SSO once openfoodfacts-auth is deployed
• Install & config the new modern theme, with support for a top bar coherent with the rest of the Open Food Facts website
