*"'''''<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.
*'''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.
:*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
:::*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
*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.
*Hey, launch that [http://fb.com/EUSwiki Facebook Page] sometime soon
*Reminder. WRITE ARTICLES. You've done too much work on infrastructure for not enough content, let's reprioritize.
*Hey, bring back work sessions?
*Consider the value of having lists of previous execs. I'm not personally a fan, I think they add clutter and tend to serve vanity, but maybe that's me.
:*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?
*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...
:*Update:I may have fixed it?
*Is Joey's Rules of Order a Policy?? Not really
::*''Oh man I don't want to create a page for every position (e.g. chair, MAME VP Admin, etc...) but there's gotta be some middle ground.''

===Sections to Add===
'''GradComm'''! They get a load of questions every year for the same exact shit. It'd probably be:
:*On Campus resources (this is found in so many places it should be real easy to make a nice list)
:*How to advertise events with alcohol inclusively (Healthy McGill has a nice infographic for this)
:*Equity training resources?
:*Land Acknowledgement. That's a must. Bring back the webpage too, as soon as CFES returns our domain
:*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
'''IguanaGate''': Fun story, I'd be sad if it does not continue
'''List of previous EUS execs''': Dianne had one that was sent to the wiki.curator email, around April 18th
'''''Funds:''''' Getting money is the number one job of a lot of positions. Doing it on campus has a general procedure to it., almost all of ours are empty right now
:*See [[Category:Funds]]
:*History of funds would be cool, as well as general makeup for how many
:*SSMU Funding is pretty robust on the [[Funding sources]] page, deserve it's own page?
:*Hey while you're at it, why not list a breakdown for what the average Eng student fees are all about? They don't change that often, would be nice to list opt-outables
:::*Pretty much unrelated to any of this, maybe we could add the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math Math Extension] for MediaWiki matched with templates to do some fun calculations?
:*''Way off in the future'' download previous fund distributions (probably excluding EUSF & EFC), upload them to the Wiki Curator's Google Drive (very important that wiki maintain ownership of these files, as far as I'm aware the exec drive is piecemeal and scattered)
'''Volunteer Banquet''': Alex Dow sent Malcolm a whole bunch of photos of previous mugs. It'd be nice to outline what it is. It's a bit dodgy navigating the somewhat exclusive nature of it?
'''Eng Buildings''': I once dreamed of having floor plans of eng buildings on the wiki. We could settle for less.
:* I bet there's a nice proprietary embeddable thing out there to better map out spaces. The raw floor plans would be gross, and IMO a JPG insufficient
:*'''Bookable Rooms''': Absolute mess. simplify. Need to make decisions about whether rooms need their own articles or not. I think it could be a bit of both, short stuff all together for similar spaces (e.g. trot 5th floor) accompanied by their own individual pages. Individual pages unified by a template of some kind
'''PPO:''' I understand they're kind of secretive, but they are firmly entrenched as a part of the EUS. They could even benefit from the exposure, people are intimidated by the group. Not having them in the wiki is turning a pretty raunchy blind eye, furthering the general stigma they present.
