Projects A project represents a focused effort by a group of editors to improve a particular part of the wiki. The Guild Wars Wiki is currently well into development, but there are still a great many areas which need to be filled out and completed, so any assistance on the projects below is greatly appreciated. If you think an area needs improvement and it isn't included in the list below you are most welcome to start another project.

Note: For one-time tasks and mini-projects, create a request for research. Current projects Content-related projects /Mission articles Revise all mission articles, especially the pages that have become bloated with "walls of text" and are in need of extensive cutdowns. /Quest Chain Cleanup Add preceded by and followed by for all quests that are part of a quest chain, regardless of requirements. (Also add requirements, if missing) Wiki-related projects /Category cleanup Cleaning up categories to improve their usability. /Community pages Keeping the different sections of the community pages up-to-date and complete. /Concept art Organizing all the concept art lying about the wiki. /Editing bots Gather requests for bot edits in one place. /Featured pages Suggestions for the featured pages proposed by users. /Skill sounds Finding an optimal solution for using skill audio on the wiki. /Wanted Pages Cleanup An attempt to clean up the Wanted pages list. Game-related projects Community-related projects /User birthdays A wiki community birthday list, so nobody will forget your birthday! General community To-Do list {{image needed}} has been introduced, to be used on articles which are missing images. So if you come across one of those while browsing the wiki, do feel free to slap one of these tags on! Similarly, if you're in the mood to do some wiki work in-game, you can show off your photography skills by taking screenshots for those articles; you can find them all at Guild Wars Wiki:Projects/Images needed.

How to make a new project Create a new article in the Guild Wars Wiki namespace which has the name of your project. For instance, if you wanted to make a project to update the Armor gallery, you could make the article "Guild Wars Wiki:Projects/Armor gallery project". The project page itself should be clear on what the project is trying to achieve. It may include things like: An overview of what the project aims to do. A detailed to-do list for the project. Once the project page is ready, remember to add it to the list of current projects above and to Category:Projects with the appropriate sort key (e.g. [[Category:Projects|Armor gallery project]]).
