This page is a triage board for wiki cleanup. Keep broad work here; item-specific image and video work should stay in the media review queue unless it affects a whole page group.
Priority 1 - Quick Cleanup
Short pages, almost-empty hub pages, and simple rewrites that should be fast wins.
- VC Pistol - almost empty; identify the weapon/page purpose and either expand or merge/redirect.
- USA - almost empty; decide whether this should be a country page, redirect, or faction-related page.
- VC / Việt Cộng - rewrite as the VC faction page or redirect one title cleanly to the other.
- Factions - expand into a proper faction hub for U.S. Army and VC.
- Classes - add a short intro, class role summaries, and links to each class page.
- Ribbons and Trophies - add explanation of how they work and clean list formatting.
- Manufacturer - explain how manufacturer pages are used on weapon pages.
- +1 - explain the mechanic/name or decide if it should redirect elsewhere.
Priority 2 - Core Gameplay Pages
Pages linked from Mechanics that explain how the game works. These should be written in plain gameplay terms first, then expanded with examples where useful.
- Mechanics - keep as the hub, but clean placeholder text and make sure links are grouped clearly.
- Damage, Ammo, Fire Rate, Bullet Spread °, Range Modifier, Muzzle Velocity, Projectile weight, and Weight - add short explanations, examples, and links back to weapon stats.
- Airstrikes - expand the hub for napalm, phosphorus, artillery, and barrage call-ins.
- Special Grenades and Timed Explosives - currently table-heavy; add lead text and usage notes.
- Equipment and Special Equipment - continue the equipment-page cleanup style used on smoke grenades, body armor, and ammunition boxes.
- Bayonets, Kill Rewards, Vote Menu, and Console Commands - add short practical explanations.
Priority 3 - Larger Rewrites
Pages that need more careful writing because they cover factions, countries, war context, or community/server documentation.
- Vietnam War - rewrite as a concise historical context page for the setting.
- Vietnam, North Vietnam, South Vietnam, China, Soviet Union, and USA - make the country pages consistent and avoid overlong history dumps.
- U.S. Army and VC - rewrite faction pages around gameplay identity first, then historical background.
- OEG - clarify what the item is and improve the page beyond the current stub.
- Uniforms - make the page and link it in the footer.
- Zippos, Unlockables, and Achievements - improve structure and explain how players encounter them.
- Steam Workshop, Workshop Collection, How to Edit Maps, Dedicated Server, and Customizing your Game - clean up as player/community guide pages.
- WIP features - either update the list or archive/remove stale items.
Priority 4 - Media And Presentation Pass
Pages that have a base page but need images, videos, screenshots, or cleaner presentation.
- Maps / Maps of Vietnam - map pages should get screenshots, overview images, and useful videos where possible.
- Equipment pages such as ammunition boxes, first aid/medical kits, binoculars, gas masks, flare guns, smoke grenades, and body armor still need HLMV renders or approved media where missing.
- Country, faction, and history pages should use clear, relevant historical images only after captions/licensing are checked.
- DShK-M, M2 Browning, SPG-9, and M40 Recoilless Rifle - add real-life photos and relevant videos after source/licensing review.
Ongoing Queues
These are bigger cleanup buckets and should be handled in batches instead of mixed into single-page work.
- New weapons that need a page - review generated drafts in small batches before uploading.
- Orphaned pages - inspect a few at a time and either link them from the right hub or merge/remove stale pages.
- Wanted pages - create only the useful wanted pages; many may be typo, template, or stat-link cleanup.
