Tasks

In this section, editors can list GargWiki pages according to the work that needs to be done on them. Editors can request pages anonymously or sign their comments by adding three tildes at the end: ~~~

Editors are also encouraged to give a brief explanation as to why they have listed the page, and ideas for improvement.

Requested pages

Special:Wantedpages contains an automatically-generated list of non-existent pages with the most incoming links, but users can also request pages to be created by listing them here.

• Ask Greg -- Since most of our canon-in-training information originates from this site, and since it is such a big part of the fandom, I think a page on Ask Greg would be appropriate. We could include a brief history of how it started, how it works, maybe list the competitions that have been held there. And we can have a big link to it at the bottom. -- Supermorff
• Gillecomgain's father
• Disney Adventures -- It would be good to have an article in the style of Gargoyles (TV series), The Goliath Chronicles, etc. A general explanation of the magazine, but with focus on the Gargoyles stories. -- Supermorff
• Star Trek -- Well why not? We've got an article on Jalapeña, after all, and this is no less silly even if it is an out-of-universe idea. Plenty of the voice actor pages would link to it.

Or you could do "Starfleet" which is mentioned in dialogue by Brooklyn in... uh... Her Brother's Keeper I think. That could work as an excuse to cover Star Trek and the connections to the actors. Or maybe I'm overthinking things?

• Humans -- They fear what they don't understand... and there's probably more that could be said for them. -- Supermorff

Talent for invention and technology. Make too much noise (and constantly modify their environment) to sense the biorhythms. Probably invented naming. History with a focus on their relations with other races. -- Vaevictis Asmadi 10:07, 24 December 2007 (CST)

Pages in need of expansion

Special:Shortpages contains an automatically-generated list of pages with the least information, but users can also list pages to be expanded here.

• Gargoyles (video game) - per the talk page
• Gargoyles (TV series)

Requested images

Here, users can list articles that they believe could be improved by the inclusion of appropriate images.

• Natsilane - User:Vaevictis Asmadi has requested using a different picture in the article (see talk page)
• Princess Katharine - User:Vaevictis Asmadi has requested a picture of the older Princess Katharine from later episodes
• Scarab Corporation - User:Matt has requested a picture of Scarab HQ
• Sleipnir -- Supermorff
