The wiki is community maintained and we need everyone to help out.

There are also some minor improvements to be done, here are some ideas:

* Make sure the pages are in line with other similar pages (i.e. share similar layout and [[Path of Exile Wiki:Manual of Style#Order of article elements|order of sections]])
* Adding sources
* Add missing information
* Improve the understanding of pages by
** rewording complicated/convoluted sentences
** adding examples (consider using the [[mediawikiwiki:wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions#.23expr|#expr parser function]] and Cargo; avoid too many examples)
** [[wikipedia:Help:Displaying_a_formula|adding LaTeX formulas]] with {{tlx|Math}}
* Adding interwiki links to other articles
* Verify the information on the page is still correct in regards to the current version of the game
* Port existing templates to lua modules
