* Migrate anything useful from forums to wiki (in progress).
*Find a way to categorize all of the pages on the wiki. See [[Special:UncategorizedCategories]], [[Special:UncategorizedFiles]], [[Special:UncategorizedPages]], and [[Special:UncategorizedTemplates]]. If anyone wants to help with this, copying the contents of [[User:FunPika/common.js]] to [[Special:MyPage/common.js]] will make it easier.

* Enable uploads on the wiki so we don't have to rely on external links to Imgur, Photobucket, etc.
** Also enable [[mediawikiwiki:Manual:$wgUseInstantCommons|$wgUseInstantCommons]] so we can use free images hosted on [[commons:Main Page|Wikimedia Commons]] if we want.
** Once uploads are enabled upload existing externally hosted images onto the wiki.
* Install [[mediawikiwiki:Extension:SyntaxHighlight GeSHi|SyntaxHighlight GeSHi]] extension that can syntax highlight any code that gets posted to the wiki in areas such as [[CssWork]].
* Use [[mediawikiwiki:Manual:$wgRCFeeds|$wgRCFeeds]] (and an IRC bot that can post UDP feeds) for the recent changes feed in #wiki instead of Atom.
* Update MediaWiki from 1.22.2 to 1.22.4.
