In progress stuff

Tenhou rules - somebody who knows japanese will probably do this page most justice
Project:Community portal - could use some fleshing out
Terminology - commonly used terminology that could be linked on every page but not linked every time they are listed due to frequent use, example; terms like: koutsu, shuntsu, ari, nashi... etc..
Rules overview - shall later link to a page with detailed general rules (either other websites or we make yet another full description), and also link to other specific rulesets (Tenhou, EMA USPML, ...)

Overview clean up, simplified as generalized as possible. Specific rulesets go to their own pages. KyuuAA (Talk:キュウ) 11:56, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Offline groups - this seems hopelessly outdated. maybe needs a name change (used to be Real-life groups)
Talk:Offline groups - organisation-wise this seems like the best place to put "looking to form a new group" notices, so I put a note on the Community portal --Bps (talk) 20:34, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
Playing online - needs fleshing out

TODO

tell people to edit this thing
rules,
~~terminology~~
~~Page: yaku - confirm names, grammar etc..,~~
- ~~Separate articles for each yaku~~
community portal - where can you meet more people who play/etc.? (online and offline) - i.e. #mahjong, #osamuko, Linköping, ...
organisation of information (but this can come much later once there is actually shit to organise)
Strategy pages (example)
- Defense
- Damaten
- Etc.

Comment

Hopefully this turns into an authoritative wiki. It seems long overdue. --Bps (talk) 02:29, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

What should go on the front page once we make one?

Beginner resources, rules page, offline groups, playing online -- these seem essential.
What is the exact goal of the community portal, it seems it should also be linked from the front page later?
- what it says on the tin I guess. I agree it should be clearly linked on the main page --Bps (talk) 16:23, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
It's very nice if all wiki pages are somehow reachable from the front page just by clicking in-page links, without AllPages. Simon (talk) 16:04, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
- agreed - the Special:AllPages link is just temporary while there isn't much content/organisation --Bps (talk) 16:23, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
Do not make a section == External links == unless there is at least one non-wiki link following. [[Category:...]] is not a non-wiki link: Put that at the end of the article no matter what section was last, it'll have its own box in any case.

Welcome mat

Just a little something that could be dumped into other people's talk pages, particularly new people. Although, this thing could be better. KyuuAA (Talk:キュウ) 19:52, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Sample front page

Well, I've tinkered a bit with building a decent looking front page. Although, I am failing to adjust table heights so that both tables are of the same height. Either way, the sample can be found here: User:KyuuAA/sandbox KyuuAA (Talk:キュウ) 10:20, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
