MansonWiki is the largest encyclopedia of Marilyn Manson on the internet today. However it has the advantage of being able to grow rapidly with the help from active contributors as anyone can edit it. This page contains a list of current things that need to be done. Many articles are stubs, or otherwise need attention. If you'd like, go ahead, be bold, and jump right in. If you aren't ready to fly solo, you can participate in a collaboration. Feel free to work on any of these items: even the smallest contributions are very welcome! You are also welcome to add items to this list that you think need revision, including your thoughts on what should be done. If an item was completed, please remove it from the list.

Main Page

  • Completing the glossary;
  • Creating a template for On this day;

Discography and Bootlegs

  • Adding and expanding articles for bootlegs;
  • Adding album credits and cover scans to Album and Single articles where needed. Full-scale .PNG cover scans where applicable are best for retaining quality;
  • Adding songs that appear on soundtracks to the Category:Songs appearing on soundtracks category.
  • Adding the year of release to albums a song appears on in individual song pages. Example: Rock Is Dead.
  • Changing and adding wikilinks in the discography article to the Single article where appropriate. For example: the band page and the discography page; both link to a number of Song articles in the Single sections. Also Song articles do mention singles they appear on, but fail to link to them;
  • Comprehensively listing the remixes in the discography article;
  • Expanding the bootlegs section by adding titles as well as their corresponding year;
  • Expanding the List of Marilyn Manson songs covered with performances of Marilyn Manson songs by other artists.
  • Providing album/production/publishing credits where applicable;
  • Splitting song pages into Song and Single pages if the song was released as a single. or example: "Get Your Gunn" and Get Your Gunn (single). Song and Single articles corresponding to the band's releases up to Antichrist Superstar have been done as of yet. This leaves the task for all Song/Single articles from "The Dope Show" onwards.

Tours

Bibliography

  • Providing full-scale .PNG quality scans of the Mechanical Animals, Guns, God and Government, and Grotesk Burlesk tour books. The cover gallery in each respective tour book's article features highly low quality covers, and it is for the benefit of MansonWiki's authenticity that these images be replaced for the better as soon as possible.

Paintings

  • Creating articles for any paintings by Manson that do not exist on MansonWiki.

Other

  • Categorizing articles;
  • Correcting any bad category names;
  • Creating wanted pages, or fixing erroneous links that cause "false" wanted pages. For example: Dancing with the Antichrist links to a page called I.V.-T._V., causing that page to be listed in the wanted pages. The correct link should be I.V.-T.V., which already exists. (Reader's note: Please do not correct the page linked to in the example);
  • Linking to otherwise orphaned pages where appropriate;
  • Punctuation.
