The Wurmpedia team are actively running projects behind the scene to give the Wurmpedia a new lick of life, just like any development this may not be immediately apparent to the rest of the universe, so in order to keep transparency we're listing our projects below. Feel free to suggest new projects on the [http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/forum/119-wurmpedia-wiki-maintenance/ Wurmpedia / Wiki maintenance] forum section.

=== In progress ===
 
−
* [[Religion]] is slowly undergoing a complete review due to the ascension of new deities.
 
−
* Server pages are being created in order to help players understand more about each. Currently the information is crammed into one or two disconnected pages, we intend to have these all aligned and tidied.
 
−
* Settlement and player pages are being moved to their own namespaces for the time being. Any new ones found in the main namespace going forward will be deleted.
 
−
* The babel is being cleaned up; we are removing ingame, settlement, player and guides etc from the babel list. This is to keep it relevant and more like an index to the game, rather than an index to the community.
 
−
=== Completed ===
 
−
* [[:Category:Gifts|Gifts]]: You will notice that the old and rushed pages have had a spruce of life and now include the standard ItemBox template along with a some structure across the board.
 
−
* We've replaced the green you've all known for so many years with a colour more suited to the Wurm Online theme, a nice subtle brown.
 
−
* A new template has been added which will turn any [[Template:Event|event messages]] into something that more resembles the in-game client event tab.
 
−
* As part of our updates of high-touch pages we have re-vamped the [[Healing cover]] page to make more use of the page in general.
 
−
* Some of the links on the left navigation bar have had an update too, in particular the [[Current events]] and this Community portal page.
 
−
* [[Basic Knowledge]] is had a revamp to be more of a first-stop page, or an introduction, for all players, old and new. Of course this is always going to change with updates, but the bulk of the revamp is complete.
