* {{pending}} [[User:Johan G/Help:Tutorial|Help:Tutorial]] Rewrite of Help:Tutorial (currently a redirect) to be about what a wiki is and what this wiki is about.
I stumbled upon a stub named [[Creating an aircraft]] not too far ago, which I quickly expanded, just to find out that there already was a [[Howto:Make an aircraft]].
 
My article is now moved to [[User:Johan G/Howto:Create an aircraft]] pending to merging that with [[Howto:Make an aircraft]], which I have multiple issues with:
* Large parts are about improving an existing aircraft.  This should be split off to a separate article.
* Large parts are written like as if the authors was not aware of the more specific articles existing that covers a most of the subjects mentioned.  I feel that the article should only go into the very basics and provide pointer for the rest.  There is much enough ambiguity on this wiki as is.
 
I strongly believe the article structure of the wiki should have very little overlapping except what is needed for context, in essence DRY ({{wikipedia|Don't Repeat Yourself}})
 
* {{progressbar|0}} Merging [[User:Johan G/Howto:Create an aircraft]] with [[Howto:Make an aircraft]].

=== Adding structure to the categories ===
* Separating images and file from article categories, but linking together image and article categories.
* [[Help:Glossary#C|Diffusing]] screenshot categories into a structure mirroring the aircraft category structure, which in turn mirrors Wikipedia's aircraft category structure.
It would also be wonderful if new editors could somehow be educated to understand that categories are not tags.  Presumably they expect images to be easier to find if they add as many categories as possible (that still seem at least remotely related).
I would consider that better file names and file descriptions (as well as some linking) probably is more efficient.

* {{progressbar|20}} [[User:Johan G/Help:Style guide|FlightGear wiki:Style guide]]. Early beginnings of an introductory style guide.  Will probably in time, and with edits by many other authors, be useful to editors seeing {{tl|cleanup}} on one of "their" pages.  Need to be scrutinized by other as well.

=== Policies ===
There is unfortunately a growing need for policies.  Like with categories I strongly believe that they should form a tree, with a general unspecific, ''very'' concise and more or less universally agreed on policy at the root.
