This is my personal notepad to keep track of wiki information and TODOs for the website. See also Helping the Wiki.

• Consolidate Category:Entry Points.
• Reevaluate Template:Effect Item.
• Help Kingtobbe format his external link resource. https://pastebin.com/QatiZ4ec
• The Creation Kit's form picker (used by script properties as well as the Constructible Item screen), has a limit of 99 characters. If a record exists that could populate that menu that has 100+ characters, the CK crashes on trying to display that menu. This is an editor ID limitation. If you make a form called Some_NewObject_WithARidiculouslyLongEditorID_ThatForSomeReasonSurpasses99Characters_AndCrashesTheConstructibleItemScreen, accessing screens that could include that form in a drop-down will crash the CK.
• Glean more notes for FormList. https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/beb2sa/papyrus_formlists_are_annoyingly_inconsistent/

Armor Slots and GetWorn

There is a precedence to armor slots. The slots are ordered from head-to-toe. An armor form only properly exists on the highest slot it covers. Armors will superfically flag the cover slots it covers as occupied. For example a helmet with goggles that covers the HEAD+EYE slots will have to be accessed via the HEAD slot. On the other hand, a gas mask that covers the EYE+MOUTH slots will need to be accessed via the EYE slot. If for some reason there is a mask that covers the HEAD+EYES+MOUTH then it will need to be accessed via the HEAD slot because its the highest one.

bool ThirdPerson = false const

	Player = Game.GetPlayer()
	Actor:WornItem worn = GetWorn()
	Debug.TraceSelf(self, "OnQuestInit", "Worn:"+worn)
EndEvent

Actor:WornItem Function GetWorn()
	{Scans down the highest slot of an eye slot armor.}
	int slot = 0
	While (slot <= BipedEyes)
		Actor:WornItem worn = Player.GetWornItem(slot, ThirdPerson)
		If (ItemFilter(worn.Item))
			return worn
		EndIf
		slot += 1
	EndWhile
	Debug.TraceSelf(self, "GetWorn", "No biped slot has a valid eyes armor.")
	return none
EndFunction

bool Function ItemFilter(Form item)
	Armor armo = item as Armor
	return armo && HasSlotMask(armo, kSlotMask47)

	return Math.LogicalAnd(armo.GetSlotMask(), value) == value
EndFunction

Help

• Improve the Help:Welcome to the Wiki page.
• Link to Vandalism.
• The Creation Kit:Copyrights page is blanked. Ill look into this further..

Here's some links to help while you edit the wiki - keep it open in a separate tab or window for quick reference. Feel free to add any categories or articles you want to keep on hand.

• Help: Wiki Editing Style Guide & Help: Wiki Editing Syntax Guide
• Editing Wikipedia

Tutorials

• https://www.creationkit.com/fallout4/index.php?title=Bethesda_Tutorial_Conversations

Glossary

• Maybe add a section to category pages that list out the "also referred as X". Use the "What Links Here" for redirects. For example, Creation Kit Toolset.

Editor Reference

• Add Editor Smoke to "Getting Started".
• Possibly add Glossary for terms like Base Object. See also Skyrim wiki @ https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=Glossary
• Restore the Condition Functions reference.
• Add proper redirect pages for established categories. Also continue to restore or consolidate the broken redirects like Default Objects and Regions.

Editor Interface

• Expand the Editor Interface and related "windows".
• Document the Creation Kit Menu Bar.
• Add Object Window Layout to Object Window, this is the layout editor window "for" this window. Quest and other windows have these layout editors too.

Windows

• Add the Data Window.
• Add Toolbar Window, Toolbar, Editor Interface#Toolbar, (?)
• Add Statusbar Window, Statusbar, Editor Interface#Toolbar, (?)
• Add Cell View Window, Cell View
• Add Scene Info Window, Scene Info
• Add Open Windows
• Add Preview Window
• Add Show\Hide Window, Show/Hide Window
• Add Reference Batch Action Window
• Add Layers Window
• Add Material Palette Window, Material Palette
• Add Edit -> Render Window Picking Preferences, Picking Preferences Window or Render Window Picking Preferences?
• Add Render Window Hotkeys
• Add WorldSpace Window, WorldSpace
• Add Region Editor Window, Region Editor, Region, (?)
• Add Properties Window, Properties
• Add Reference Window @Render Window
• Add Use Report.

Game File Reference

• Add page anchors to file extensions in the Game File Reference. Add redirects to the anchors for extension in all caps. (TXT, FLA, PEX)
• Mention the Archive File naming scheme when paired with a Data File. For example, MyArchive - Main.ba2 and MyArchive - Textures.ba2
• Add Text File, tab-delimited format for some Creation Kit report exporting.
• Creation INI reference. Maybe add as a section to Creation Kit and a new page called Fallout 4.

Data File

• Expand on Version Control and Multiple Contributor Collaboration for the Creation Kit.

Object Class Reference

• Research type signatures for Forms. Add cheat sheet for signatures and type icons.
• Restore the enormous editors like Quest, Actor, and Race.
• Better pages for Object, Base Object, Object Reference, and Reference.
• Add template for where objects can be found in the Object Window. For example: The Key Object is found within the Object Window under the Items Category.

Icons

I had the idea to add the editor icons to object pages alongside the object's type code.

• Actor Action
• Perk
• Quest

Scripting

• Expand papyrus pages to include both minimalistic and complete source code examples.
• Add better pages on structs & more actual examples of when structs are most useful.
• Finish F4SE script documentation up to the current version.
• Document the papyrus assembly. The Script File may be the only mention of papyrus assembly. The user cadpnq has started to document some of the assembly instructions here https://github.com/cadpnq/papyrith/wiki/Instruction-Reference

F4SE

• Remove F4SE pages from the Papyrus category.
• Add templates for F4SE features. (auto add to category, icon, required version, etc..)
• F4SE:DummyTestPage Maybe prefix like this?

This is something I have delayed doing for some time now. With the wiki tools I have access to, this would be a very tedious and time consuming task. I have continued to add new f4se pages to the Papyrus category for consistency. I would rather reorganize/move the f4se pages all at once than a mix. See F4SE talk page.

Using Subpages might be an option if that is enabled in the wiki software. Subpages are enabled for user & talk pages by default, but not the main namespace.
