* PDF Export -> to enable that each article or even the whole wiki be available for download as a fully navigable document.
 +
** This will enable large projects like the handbook to be dressed up and released periodically to possibly circulate beyond the Nexus and spread a body of good information for the benefit of the entheogenic community at large.
 +
** It will also allow for teks to be authored on the wiki and then easily converted to a document to be designed by the author for widespread release.
 +
* Linked words on the forum -> for any commonly used terms to link directly to wiki pages that elaborate on their meaning.
 +
** This has already been done with a few terms, such as [[SWIM]], but many other terms could be included.
 +
** Some terms link directly to wikipedia articles, but if they hold relevance to the Nexus, perhaps a page should be added for such terms and the wikipedia article simply transcluded to that page (this way, the wikipedia transclusion can eventually be replaced with an article more specifically relevant to the Nexus).
 +
* Wiki page embedding on the forums [http://dmt-nexus.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&m=106331#post106331] -> for ready access to relevant wiki articles directly on the forum.
 +
** This will allow for a further merging of the wiki with the forum and will allow articles to presented directly on the forum in order that information presented in a thread remain up-to-date and that any need to update the wiki be made readily apparent to those who are more accustomed to frequenting the forums.
 +
** This will help to beautify threads by allowing information to be presented and updated in a more orderly fashion.
 +
** It will allow for ease of discussion of portions of a wiki article, especially if section embedding is allowed, and also especially if it quoting portions of the article or section is readily accomplished.

ToDo List Information.png

Here is a ToDo list for work that has to be done at our Wiki, listed in order of priority.


Tasks for Completion and Edition of The Nexian DMT Handbook Information.png
The Handbook Transclusion Project
Most topics covered in the handbook are quite generalized and often demand to be assigned their own pages to go into greater detail. This project is for the purpose of giving these topics their own pages and prepping the most fundamental portions of the page to be transcluded to the handbook. This will reduce clutter in the coding of the handbook and allow for its information to remain consistent and up-to-date with the rest of the wiki. All pages contained therein will be categorized as such under the link above which also contains further elaboration on the details of this project.
  • Guidelines for Contributions to the Handbook and its Associated Transcluded Pages
    • Articles should be generalized in a somewhat encyclopedic fashion--open-ended and comprehensive.
    • Inclusion of personal opinions or predilection and unnecessary specifics--such as specific number amounts (rather, opt for ratios) and specific equipment--should be avoided.
    • No procedure should be a tek in itself, but an inclusive and comprehensive representation of all teks and other bodies of knowledge found on the Nexus or related forums.
    • If an empty topic contains a link to an uncreated page, all content for that topic should be put on that page, and it will be automatically transcluded to the handbook.
  • Articles to-do -> Remember that if an article may appropriately be given its own page, create it and transclude it, rather than adding it directly to the handbook.
