Pages may be misnamed and require constant redirecting.  When someone searches for the page either here in the wiki or on google they may use very different terms than writer. I think each page should have a synonym and unique terms section.

For example "longevity[1][2], life expectancy, gerontology, life extension" some could be titles but each could be search term. [[User:DG|DG]] ([[User talk:DG|talk]]) 20:47, 10 March 2022

There are daily VM backups in Digital Ocean. Should there be other backups? - [[User:Katoss|Katoss]] ([[User talk:Katoss|talk]]) 14:50, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

=== Broken link in navigation ===

=== Import more Show & Tell talks ===
The navigation menu on the left links to [[Self-Research Chats and Open Humans Community Calls]] which does not actually exist. Is there a correct landing page for this or did we decide to get rid of it completely. If it's the latter we should remove the link in the menu. - [[User:Gedankenstuecke|Gedankenstuecke]] ([[User talk:Gedankenstuecke|talk]]) 14:17, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

We imported 373 Show and Tell talks (those already published on Quantified Self) as project pages. There are more in the database that could be uploaded, but each of them needs to be verified first. - [[User:Katoss|Katoss]] ([[User talk:Katoss|talk]]) 14:14, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

== Search results readability issues ==

Is it possible to display the page category when searching, and create filters, so the search results become more readable and useful? - [[User:Katoss|Katoss]] ([[User talk:Katoss|talk]]) 13:10, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

=== Add MediaWiki statistics ===
+
== Guides for project pages ==
Currently we don't collect any stats on visitors for pages etc. This would be useful to have to measure impact of the wiki in a broader sense but potentially also to see which pages are most useful etc. - [[User:Gedankenstuecke|Gedankenstuecke]] ([[User talk:Gedankenstuecke|talk]]) 14:39, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Right now there are only technical/formatting guides for project pages ([[Help:How to make a Project page]]). It would be good to have a page that gives guidance on outline, sections, and on what qualifies as a project.

== Improving the front page ==
We imported 373 Show and Tell talks (those already published on Quantified Self) as project pages. There are more in the database that could be uploaded, but each of them needs to be verified first. - [[User:Katoss|Katoss]] ([[User talk:Katoss|talk]]) 14:14, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Suggestions for making the page more accessible for new users? Right now it has a lot of text, some of which we might remove. - [[User:Katoss|Katoss]] ([[User talk:Katoss|talk]]) 13:10, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

: Added HitCounter extension to count page views (shows up on the bottom of each page). Usefulness of this might be limited, we discussed maybe using Google Analytics (pros might outweigh cons, seems to be easiest solution, no need to set anything up on our own server like with many other tools). Have to check GDPR compliance first. - [[User:Katoss|Katoss]] ([[User talk:Katoss|talk]]) 13:10, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
