RationalWiki's To do list

^[edit]

Contents: New article suggestions – Ongoing mini-projects – AOTW suggestions – Cover story nominees – Articles requiring attention – Article writing resources

If you are really bored, you can help RationalWiki by writing stuff for us.

This is a place where:

You can add topics that you think might be good article subjects.
You can draw people's attention to articles which you think are mission-critical and/or need work.
You can find articles that are nearing front page status and bask in the reflected glory of getting "your" article on the main page.
You can find bits of random wikicruft that fitted nowhere else.

When tasks are completed, please remove them to the archive.

At this point the headers are merely suggestions, and will surely evolve under pressure from the mob.
