This is under construction; I am working on a short summary of how I work to pacify all the people offended by the number and speed of my edits (-:

When I came to Wowpedia, I saw a lot that (I believed) needed to be done. I went about this as best I knew how, but I kept finding more and more to be done; and the projects piled up around me until I lost myself... then I went into a short period of randomly grabbing the nearest project and working on it frenetically to dig myself out of the whole I had made. Now I have cleaned up my project plan a little bit and can focus on one project at a time. This page will list the projects I have worked on, am working on, and hope to start soon. Feel free to leave comments or offer help on this article's discussion page!

I am currently working on: Community teams

Policy
On Hold

Here I plan to expand the Policy page and it's subpages with some ideas of my own, including more rules on naming and categorization.

These policy pages I have already completed: These policy pages I am currently working on:
 * Category policy
 * Deletion policy
 * Policy
 * Naming policy

Categorization
On Hold - Pending help from the Cat Team

This is kind of a part of the Policy project, but mostly separate. There are *WAY* too many useless categories here; so I set out to write a comprehensive yet concise needed category list and implement it by going through every current category, moving it's pages to the appropriate pages off of the category list, and then mark that deprecated category with {terminate}. The category list is available at Category policy, and a discussion of prospective categories is available at WoWWiki talk:Policy/Category.

Community teams
In Progress

I decided that the amount of work that needed to be done was way too much for me to do myself; this at first manifested itself in the WoWWiki Community Project, which soon died. Later on, after some more futile struggling with the workload, I decided to start afresh by starting various community teams to do various jobs. Currently this project is at a state of recruiting members for the various projects, nominating team leaders, and explaining to the leaders my visions for each of the individual projects.

Stub Categorization
On Hold - Pending help from the Stub Team

Another problem I noticed with the wiki structure is the stubbing. People would simply stick items in the {stub} category and template, without categorizing them. I wanted newer editors to visit a stub category they knew a lot about (for instance, items, or abilities, or NPCs) and start filling out stubs from there. The list of available stub categories is at Category:Stubs

Community Portal
I created the Community portal... just thought it would be nice to have an alternative to the ugly Main Page (which I can't edit) for community information!

Main Page
I thought the main page was really bland and repulsive to prospective new members; and wanted to add some spice. The effort is at Main Page Dev, it is dead until I get admin privileges (if ever).
