Polytope Wiki:To-do list

A list of tasks to complete on the wiki, organized by short, medium, and long term.

Last updated: 2022-10-29.

Articles needing attention

If you want to help quickly, you might want to take a look at any of the pages in these categories (please read the style guide before adding images or OFF files):

• All stub articles
• Polytopes without images
• Polytopes without OFF files
• Polytopes with missing measures

Goals

There's also various goals and topics that the wiki aims to cover over time. They're organized below by short, medium and long term.

Short term

These tasks should take a few days at most.

• Write detailed articles for the regular polytopes up to a certain threshold dimension.
• Create articles on the Euclidean and hyperbolic tilings, and on some abstract polytopes.
• Create articles on specific polytopes of interest, such as the Szilassi polyhedron and the Császár polyhedron.
• Expand the convex polytope article, the symmetry article, and the polytope article.
• Write detailed and example-driven articles about nature (eg. tame, wild, and feral).

Medium term

These tasks could take about a week or two.

• Add OFF files for existing duoprism articles: these can be generated from Miratope.
• Write articles for the semiregular polyhedra.
• Write articles for the Johnson solids, and some higher-dimensional derivatives.
• Write articles for prisms, antiprisms, multiprisms, etc.

Long term

These tasks will take at least a month, and at most forever.

• Write articles for the many symmetry groups, or organize them in any other manner (perhaps categories are enough?).
• Write articles for all known uniform polychora.
• Write articles for the crazier polytopes Bowers has found.
