** [[wikipedia:Help:Displaying_a_formula|adding LaTeX formulas]] with {{tlx|Math}}
* Adding interwiki links to other articles

* Port existing templates to lua modules

==Uncompressed DDS files from the ggpk for the wiki==
If you've been trying to get images for the wiki from the content.ggpk recently, you'll probably have noticed that they are "no valid dds file".


The image files are compressed with google's brotli library. The first 4 bytes of the file are not part of the image data, but rather a byte-size of the uncompressed image.
:Older items:
Some "dds" files may also be text file to contain a pointer to another dds file (like <code>*2DArt/Whatever.dds</code>

* [[Path of Exile Wiki:To-do list/3.15.0|To-do list for version 3.15.0, Expedition]]


If you don't want to handle that yourself you can use PyPoE, basically follow those steps
==More about the site==
* Install Python 3.5+ and [https://github.com/OmegaK2/PyPoE PyPoE]
*See a list of [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]].
* Make sure to perform the full install as it will install brotli
*See what the community is currently [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|talking about or make suggestions]].
*{{fullurl|Project:Community portal|action{{=}}watch|text=Add this page}} to your [[Special:Watchlist|watchlist]] and stay on top of things!


Then using the pypoe_ui command in the ggpk viewer, you have check in the options menu that dds files are uncompressed upon extracting them.
