==Ecosystems==
The idea of creating a "bubble" of articles that feed off one another for a certain topic. If I go to that ecosystem, it should be able to link to all the relevant content (which is also interlinked), as opposed to editing articles little by little. Examples of ecosystems includes:
*Room Bookings
*Mental Health Resources
*Study survival guides
*Getting involved at McGill
Each of these has it's own relevant sphere of articles that should exist.

===Content===
*Ironically, after about an hour of thinking, ruminating, and watching avatar, it's clear there should be brainstorming sessions that are recorded. I've thought unto no end, but this gives me check boxes to remove. The inane listicle that was generated is disorderly (though see point later on that infrastructure means nothing without content) so first, see point directly below.
{{col-begin}}{{col-break}}<!--HighPriority-->
*"'''''<span style="color:#df6b6b">HEY YOU. Pick a day, sit down, write a shit ton of articles.'''''</span> You have the resources from archives. We're at a measly ~300 pages, most of which are empty/incomplete, redirects, or not great. You can do this.
'''Sooner:'''
*''Confirm with BoG'' approval to move redirects from bylaws.mcgilleus.ca to policies.mcgilleus.ca from drive folders to wiki
* '''Bookkeeper''', Isabella Bongiovi, finance@mcgilleus.ca
::*I've setup a warning notification whenever any file is changed in Governance folder, seeing as right here and now they're all up to date (wowowowow do MoA though)
* '''Governance Calendar'''  
::*Clean up that shitty script that strips PDF text into wiki format, needs a revamp. Hey! Maybe investigate the creation of php pages and pilot an extension, make it easier and accessible to others.
:*''(e.g. when referenda must occur, submission of this that or the other thing, deadlines, as prescribed in the [[Important Documents]]''
::::*More importantly, find list of keywords of completed pages (e.g. BoG, XXX Policy, and so on). Could be manually done, there's only somewhere around 40 documents. Constitution is a DOOOZY, stay away from it since it'll be restructured over the Summer 2018.
 
*'''REALLY''' consider the value of having the [[Council:2017-2018|Council]] namespace. It's a lot of work to go through the motions every year. But it's not too bad to do it all in one shot '''''after''''' the year is over, plus that's probably when it will be used most.
{{col-break}}<!--MedPriority-->
:*Consider proposing another way to name motions at council? How do legit councils organize documents? Right now best we have, for example, is <code>New Business item X from Council on April, XX XXXX</code>, which is malleable and unreliable
'''Later:'''
:::*Say it with me, '''ISO-8601'''. A general scheme for listing dates, super important. I guess this goes more into file organization elsewhere, but if we could get EUS to support the date structure YYYY-MM-DD, it'd be way easier to sort things chronologically. Might be fun to make a page praising it
*Wine & Cheese HOW-TO!
*Get peoples opinion on Gifs in pages like [[Curator's Choice]] and  [[The_EUS_Wiki:Privacy_policy]]. I like these because they have no background, no frame, and most importantly '''''aren't memes'''''. No memes, that's a line I draw pretty firmly. I know, what about ''[[Deals, Deals, Deals]]''? I've got a sore spot for Broad City.
* Room Bookings: photos, capacity, accessibility, etc.
*Hey, launch that [http://fb.com/EUSwiki Facebook Page] sometime soon
*[[Popcorn Machine]]
*Reminder. WRITE ARTICLES. You've done too much work on infrastructure for not enough content, let's reprioritize.
 
*Hey, bring back work sessions?
{{col-break}}<!--LowPriority-->
*Clean up all those copyrights and privacy policies and shite.
'''Whenever:'''
::*There's a privacy policy on the bottom
*[[World Mining Competition]]
::*There's a note on copyright whenever you edit a page, [[MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning2]]
*Say it with me, '''ISO-8601'''. A general scheme for listing dates, super important. I guess this goes more into file organization elsewhere, but if we could get EUS to support the date structure YYYY-MM-DD, it'd be way easier to sort things chronologically.
::*Follow up question; do people ever interact with content at the footer? What would be most useful there? What would you '''''want''''' to be there?
*What do we do about all those default Wiki pages, [[EUSwiki:Copyrightwarning2|Copyrights]], [[EUSwiki:Privacy policy|privacy policy]], etc.
*Consider the value of having lists of previous exec teams on clubs/committees/etc. I'm not personally a fan, I think they add clutter and tend to serve vanity, but maybe that's me.
*Information on ''McGill Special Events''
:*Hey, meet with people and work with them. Also create content, less infrastructure.
 
*Do we actually like the background-image & box-shadow on mainpage and others therein?

===New Frontiers===
*Dean Nicell...?
*Skim the McGill Reddit. They've got some good content.
*Skim the McGill Reddit. They've got some good content.
*This is '''''really annoying'''''. [[Special:Random]] seems to have a proclivity for navigating to our [[Chants]] section, such as Froshimien Rhapsody, 12 days, and so on. There are ''loads'' of other pages, yet it goes back. out of probably 20 redirects, 3 were froshimien. Maybe I'm just in one of those weird instances where extremely uncommon chance based things occur, implying pattern. I hate this, of all pages to be consistently redirected to, this is not what I want. It also goes to Queer Engineer, VP Finance, and IT Committee a whole lot. Apparently the /includes/specials/Specialpagerandom.php generates a random integer that loops if it surpasses the total number of articles, which, while there's a comment claiming it does not effect probability, I think may...? They say they're a mathematician though...
*What do we want to do with the footer? It's underutilized.
:*Update:I may have fixed it?
*Consider proposing another way to name motions at council? How do legit councils organize documents? Right now best we have, for example, is <code>New Business item X from Council on April, XX XXXX</code>, which is unreliable
*Is Joey's Rules of Order a Policy?? Not really
*Why is SelComm ''Old'' in the Policy folder?
*wowowow just found a Kaitlyn McGoldrick Special! It's a good start outlining broadstrokes of history, [[EUS History]]
*Add facebook icons to EUS Groups Pages using [[Template:FacebookIcon]]
*Where's Ski Trip Policy?
:*Update:It's being worked on, nothing passed yet
*Meet up with incoming execs to show them the lay of the land
*Look into adding different default fonts
*'''Infrastructure:'''
:*Update wiki to the newest format
:*Create new virtual machine on AWS to migrate to
:*Install Mobile view, visual editor, (must be after MediaWiki Update)
:*Update Modules
*'''''Holy moly''''' update that room bookings area. I'd love for there to be unique pages for every bookable space (or in the case of trottier, different headers in the same article for the different rooms). This should be straightforward?
*Add extension/ look into addition of "last updated" super module that will display last edit date on the top right and some kind of dashboard to see most outdated pages

:*Tertiary, but same vein I guess? '''MSERT''', '''RedFrogs''', '''Walksafe''', '''Drivesafe'''. All good groups. I don't know how to give themexposure on the wiki while keeping it up to date without redirecting to their webpages? I guess it'd be like any other EUS Group, just not in EUS..... Wait, where is that line? There's gotta be one. Maybe focus on EUS first, I'm uncertain

'''MESC:''' They ''pay'' people. I mean, can you imagine? ''Money?'' I bet they could devote some of their resources to pages on what they do, what ECC is, and so on. PROCEED WITH CAUTION and try and limit their reach on the wiki. I don't mean with literal user permissions, rather verbal agreements on not polluting the wiki, you know? Students for students, they've got so many ways to reach out to students as is.

'''EUS Mental Health Committee: ''' After talking to Marion about updating the MHC on the wiki, I have come to learn that Mental Wellness is getting a revamp. Once council confirms a new version, we'll get more information
'''NAVBARS: ''' Create navbars for all departmental societies to interlink within each other. As well as specific navbars for each society, e.g. CodeJam, Banquet, etc for ECSESS.
