Welcome to the eRepublik Bar
“ Remember to sign (~~~~) your comments! ”
The Bar is a place in which editors can exchange their ideas, or drink a beer.
After introducing yourself at the Community Portal, you can learn what changes need to be made, see what projects are going underway and take part in many active discussions. You are welcome to start a new discussion, but keep in mind that all articles have their own talk pages, and please remember to sign your comments!
We need editors and translators!
If you are new and don't have any experience with wiki at all - ask for help in the Bar!
Dear editors and translators, we need you to:
- Update Outdated and Stub pages.
- Translators, if you would like to help, check out the Category:Translations or alternatively, if you find an article that doesn't have a translation in your language, feel free to do that.
- Feel free to format non-formatted articles
Plans for March and April 2014
Hello everyone again. I was long time inactive, so it is time to re-activate myself and give you all a lot of tasks. :)
So, I have created a plan for this year for all editors which will be divided into several categories - update, maintenance, translation, review and new pages. I have marked the beginning of all sections with blue color in which everyone can apply, and with red color only uber editors can apply. Please, feel free to apply for any task that you think that you could do it. There are no restrictions for number of people to apply, or for what task would you apply, so apply yourself by using my example below in the sections and start improving the wiki :) --AndyCro Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 11:46, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
Update
This will be probably the toughest part that we have to do. It will include update of all articles and templates, even policies on wiki so this section will have 4 subcategories:
- Article update - we will create some kind of list and it will be on to-do list, so everyone would get a chance to help, but for now, a list of categories that has to be dealt with are:
- Special categories that editors could battle with:
- Formatting non-formatted articles
- Category:Stub
- Category:Translations
- Category:Outdated
- Template update - it will be done by reviewing all templates. Most of them are probably already updated, but I noticed that for example "party template" isn't. But a list will also be done, so anyone can check, and please if you don't know how to fix it, use your sandbox or simply post here what should be updated.
- Policies - eRepublik:Wiki_Policies - this is not a simple update - a suggestion will have to be written as changes have to be done carefully, please use your user sandboxes for this and let me know when you have done something
- Translations - review of all translated pages will have to be done also. To ease up the work, a list will be done in April, so it is not a priority, the system will be that on every article that you think should be updated, a {{Translation incomplete}} will be added for future reference on Category:Translations
Maintenance
The most boring part of our job, but it have to be done. Major problems with wiki will be problem for our Admins Grzechooo and Gucio.
Minor maintenance will be done daily by uber editors and it will consist of:
- Checking recent changes, which will include everything from new articles, updates, file uploads - at this moment it will be done by Gucio and myself, but if you would like to help leave a comment ;)
- Approving new editors - by Gucio
- Removing unnecessary redirects

Translations
Scheduled for forth month, the idea is to create a list of important game articles that have to be translated + articles from already mentioned category. Gucio done this already, so he will be the volunteer to organize this again. :)
There are some pages that should be updated also, I will add them here in April when Gucio and I create a battle plan for this task ;)
- Bogi will update Serbian. --AndyCro Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 09:20, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
Review
Review is checking all the articles in the category and updating it if necessary. If you don't know how to update it, leave the {{Urgent}} on it.
- Review of all game articles in Playing_the_Game
- Letter A in main category checked --AndyCro Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 11:26, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- Review of all files uploaded
New pages
It is quite simple - just write a new page :)
- Review of ingame latest update page and update the info from them with history pages
- Review of forum pages and using useful topics and posts for wiki update
- Other game important articles that aren't created yet. I will create the list in next few days (weeks)

Members of Party X
Dear editors, a long time ago, in October 2010 a decision was made that categories Members of Party X will be deleted. The problem is that this is ever growing number of categories with few members. Please don't add any categories like this as they will be deleted. Thank you. --AndyCro Click here to talk with me baby! ;) 16:33, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
