Help out

MansonWiki is, by number of articles, the second-largest encyclopedia of Marilyn Manson ever to exist. 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

• A new logo;
• Completing the glossary;
• Completing the introduction page;
• Nominating weekly featured articles;
• Creating a template for Did you know...;
• Creating a template for Featured articles;
• Creating a template for On this day;
• Creating weekly featured articles that were nominated (by creating a page called MansonWiki:This week's featured article/X, 2008, where X should be the week that article is featured in), including a thumbnail and the corresponding links to the overview and the nominations page. For example: MansonWiki:This week's featured article/2, 2008;
• Listing past and current featured articles in MansonWiki:Featured articles.

Discography

• 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 currently absent articles for remixes that are linked to in the discography;
• 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 article for Marilyn Manson's seventh studio album;
• Expanding the bootlegs section by adding titles as well as their corresponding year;
• Gallerizing the bootlegs section (like the discography article);
• Providing album/production/publishing credits where applicable;
• Splitting song pages into Song and Single pages if the song was released as a single. for example: "Get Your Gunn" and Get Your Gunn (single). Song and Single articles corresponding to the band's Portrait of an American Family and Smells Like Children releases have been done as of yet. This leaves the task for all Song/Single articles from "The Beautiful People" onwards.

Tours

• Expanding articles for tour dates. One example of how the pages should look can be found here 2007/07/25 West Palm Beach, FL;
• Rewriting the stage antics sections in tour pages. For example: the Grotesk Burlesk article has such a section, but is in need of needs wikifying.

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.

Artworks

• Creating a gallery of all artwork by Marilyn Manson, which are inadvertently linked to here;
• Creating articles for any artwork by Manson that do not exist on MansonWiki.

Other

• Adding associated bands and artists to the Related bands and artists page;
• Categorizing articles;
• Correcting any bad category names;
• Creating links in otherwise dead-end pages;
• 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.
