• ✓Play through all of Doom II, TNT: Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment, and proofread/improve their levels' pages (and Ultimate Doom's) along the way (or afterwards)
  • Of course I played Doom II numerous times back in the day, so the trip down memory lane was augmented via Brutal Doom on GZDoom.
  • The late great Ty Halderman kindly sent me a boxed copy of Final Doom in 1996, but I never got around to playing it until now. :)
  • While I do own boxed copies of Hexen and Strife, I never got around to playing more than their demos. I did however complete Heretic: SotSR.
  • Boxed copies of Doom 3 and Resurrection of Evil, and a digital copy of The Lost Mission, were also completed, as well as Doom 64 (on PC) with its Lost Levels episode.
• ✓Analyze and improve map views images
• ✓Create the DMMPST map statistics tool to generate wiki-ready mapdata, things and map skel structures, as well as thing appearance statistics
• ✓Operate the XymphBot account to automatically and ongoingly:
  • update Statistics sections of map pages and add new map skeletons via the dmmpstBot script
  • upload map view images via uploadmapBot and add them to map pages via mapviewBot
  • add author(s) and their level categories to map skeletons via authorBot, par times via partimeBot, links to demo sites via demolinkBot, and extra monsters/equipment categories via extraCoopBot
  • generate navigation boxes for map series via navboxGen and add them to map pages via navboxBot
  • add/update deathmatch sections, player spawns and map views via dmsectionBot, pspawnsBot, uploadmapDmBot and mapviewDmBot
  • on mapper pages, checks consistency and authorship of WADs/maps and applies consistent formatting via mapperMaps, and create new mapper pages via createMapper
  • add OneManDoom and Doom Underground review links to PWAD pages via onemanLinks and doomugLinks
  • generate lists of Wikipedia, Interwiki and templatable links, of redirects and bad interwikis, of pages starting with an article, and of mappers ranked by map count and soundtracks ranked by map count
  • perform other checks and edits via various Bot scripts
• ✓Process speedrunning information from Compet-n and DSDA and generate record tables for categories, WADs, maps and speedrunners (talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk)
• ✓Collect statistics of built-in and included demos via the LmpStats library and add them to the pertaining PWAD pages via the builtinDemos script
• ✓Add or update (as appropriate) data tables for Things in Doom, Doom 64, Heretic, Hexen & Strife, using tools compiled against each game's INFO.C file to extract relevant information directly from the engine's data tables [imaginatively titled DMINFO, 64INFO, HTINFO, HXINFO & SFINFO] (talk, talk)
• Try and figure out if a GIMP script can automate placing map spots as much as possible
• Odd 'n ends as I encounter them
• Fix archive.org & dead links
  • I believe archive.org links should point directly to the most recent valid archive, so wiki users won't have to hunt down the date bar there themselves
