Hi Zmario. I'm afraid your request is beyond the scope of what I'm able to commit to, in terms of time, due to the request involving thousands and thousands of pages. That said, I still do want to help in some way.

One way is by asking you if there are specific templates at EG that you need help editing, redesigning, etc. Improving templates is the most time-efficient way to improve lots of pages, and something for which I would actually have time to spend doing. If you would like me to help in this way, link me to a couple templates to start with, and provide me with any details or instructions you have for how they need to be changed.

I saw that EG was approved for a Wikia spotlight on August 6th, which, as I'm sure you're aware of, is an effective way to drive new traffic to a community. The spotlight should be going live very soon, so there will certainly be new people looking at EG. This got me thinking. Due to the large scope of the things you listed that you felt needed to be done, it will definitely be more likely for significant progress to be made if multiple members of the community were pitching in. Over the years, I've seen admins at several communities arrange an improvement drive, where they ask editors to work together on a single goal to improve a specific area of the wiki. I was thinking it might be a good idea to arrange a Community Improvement Drive (or whatever better catchy name you can think of) and put a highly visible notice/announcement/whatever on the EG main page with a very brief description that links to a page that fully explains what work needs to be done and encourages editors to pitch in.

Just a thought. :)

But going back to what I said, let me know if there are a couple templates you need me to help improve.
