Help:Wiki Progress Bar

The Wiki Progress Bar is a tool for founders and admins that leads them through the first days and weeks of creating a wiki. There are specific tasks that give users the steps they need to get their wiki off the ground. When all 30 tasks are completed, the percentage indicator moves to 100%.

How it works

 * Anyone on the wiki can complete a task - it doesn't necessarily have to be the founder or an admin.
 * Once tasks are done the task goes grey.
 * As each task is completed the progress wheel moves up; 3%, 5%, 15%, etc.
 * Tasks can be skipped.
 * If tasks are skipped, they then move into the skipped tasks area.
 * If the founder or an admin feels like certain tasks are not appropriate for their wiki, they can skip them permanently. These will go into skipped tasks.
 * Bonus tasks opens only when skipped tasks remain.
 * Bonus tasks can be completed in lieu of skipped tasks & the progress wheel will still move to 100%.
 * Once at 100% a congratulation message/flag goes live, and anyone with access to the dashboard sees it.

Things to keep in mind

 * The congratulation message is collapsible, but the percentage indicator can never be dismissed.
 * Tasks are not editable.
 * The feature cannot be removed from any wiki by a local admin, but any admin can request to Wikia Staff that the feature be removed from a specific wiki.
 * This feature has been enabled on all wikis created on and after 20 July 2011, as well as wikis created before 20 July 2011 with less than 250 edits.
