When using ToDo lists, please add them on the discussion page rather than the main article.
Creating a list
- 1. Once on the discussion page, Edit the page and at the top of the text add a
{{Todo}}
- to the top of the article text. This will create a reference to the list (as you don't actually populate the list on the article page).
- 2. After you have typed this, click the Save page button. The ToDo list will then become visible on the discussion page.
- 3. Click the Edit button on the ToDo list. This will create a page for the Todo contents with some default text (basic instructions) on it.
- 4. Once you save this article (the contents), it will show up in the Todo list (at the top of the discussion page) and in the Category:ToDo list pages.
Don't worry about it showing in the Category:ToDo list starting with Help talk: because it will be sorted into the alphabetical order of the page name (for example, A for Adding custom maps).
Using the Watch icon
You can use the Watch link at the top of any ToDo list to add the ToDo list to your Special:Watchlist and track any changes.
Completing ToDo items
When completing items, add your name against the item and strike it out. Striking an item out can be achieved by adding <s> at the beginning and a </s> at the end of the item (see example below). If all the items have been completed, you can then remove the {{Todo}} from the discussion page.
Example
*Add a picture to the article.
To complete the item, change it to:
*<s>Add a picture to the article.</s> - Done --~~~~
Which will show as:
Add a picture to the article.- Done --Aurora 13:18, 13 March 2008 (CDT)
