• Upgrade MediaWiki to 1.13

• Upload images

* Customize Menu / Take out Donations especially ... This is the location of the menu edit before mod rewrite index.php5?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar&action=edit

- True URL links work so long as they're in the /bandwiki/ structure; that link would be ttp://www.bandwiki.ca/bandwiki/index.php5?title=MediaWiki:Sidebar&action=edit Tjernobyl 03:28, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

• I'd like to see the Thunder Bay page filled out more and a basic history of the Thunder Bay music scene. I'd also like to see some scans of Chronicle Journal articles and links / copy-and-pastes from the Argus, the Source and any other mags that give Thunder bay exposure (exclaim?) - Destructo

- I can write a program that archives news, if we wanna commit to making use of it. Tjernobyl 03:28, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

• Put the link to tbshows with a description into the menu item "Current Events" and rename the link/menu item. Destructo 04:50, 12 October 2008 (UTC)</s>

* I like the skin called Modern and it doesn't require a graphic. It makes much better use of 100% of screen space. Check out my install of it here www.comptek.org Destructo 15:32, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

• Change time zone to EST ... I actually wrote this at 11:06am Destructo 15:33, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

• Edit http://www.tjernobyl.org/bandwiki/index.php?page=Home to include a link or redirect to the bandwiki.ca location. Destructo 16:31, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

• Consider creating a "prominent bands" list of bands that regularly played live and/or released a proper cd. Destructo 17:28, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

• Maybe a few catigory of bands? (Prominent Bands, Past Bands, New Bands)? The_George 14 October 2008

• • The following band-related categories exist. Feel free to suggest more, or how we can improve the ontology: Tjernobyl 20:31, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to see a category for "bands that have played more than 2 legitimate shows" Destructo 20:10, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

• Hard to do. The standard I've always used for being worthy of inclusion was "has produced a recording or played a show." If the band contained a really significant person and it was important to their development, I've counted that as notable as well. Other than the 150-odd bands listed on tbshows, we have very sparse data on how many shows have been played. We could do Bands that have played more than 10 shows, but then we can't prove that for even seminal bands like The Negatives. If we can come up with a good criteria, we could do it.

• Remove people that have only been in one band, if their page doesn't contain any information that isn't on the band page

• Add to all people pages (use Biographies)

• Add to all band pages (use More Bands)

• Add to all venue pages (use Venues)

• Add 'Upcoming Shows' link to all bands listed on tbshows (use Bands Listed on TBshows)

• Clean up More Biographies
