This Help Wanted page is for posting solicitations for assistance for various in-progress articles and projects on OrthodoxWiki (requests for new articles should be posted on OrthodoxWiki:Suggestions.
You can either post a request for help or respond to such requests. If nothing here strikes your interest, take a look at the Stub List for a listing of stub articles that need work.
Big project: Church Calendar=
We're reworking the Church Calendar system so that it can be dynamically included on the Main page. Your help would be appreciated! Here's how it works:
Each article dedicated to a particular date (e.g., February 1) is formatted essentially as before, but the feast listing in it is now going to be loaded as a template (e.g., Template:February 1). So the article for February 1 should look like this:
==Feasts==
{{February 1}}
[[Category:Feasts]]
[[Category:Saints]]
The template, however, is a little more complex. It will include a list of the feasts, along with an image. Please always make sure to include an image— if we don't have one for a saint of that day, you can either upload one and use it, or substitute an image of our Lord or Lady (such as of Sinai.jpg Image:Pantokrator of Sinai.jpg) or Image:Theotokos of Vladimir.jpg). The tamplate for Template:February 1 should look like this:
<div style="float:right;margin-left:1em"> [[Image:Brigid.jpg|100px|St. Brigid of Kildaire]] </div>Martyr Tryphon of Syria; Martyr Perpetua of Carthage and her four companions; Basil the Confessor, archbishop of Thessalonika; New-martyr Anastasios of Anaplos; Venerable David and Simeon; Venerable [[Brigid of Kildaire]]
Everything about that formatting is vital to the scheme, including the list of saints right up next to that last </div> tag, and the sizing of the image at 100px. Make sure not to add in any other tags in the image link. Also be sure to make the list of saints one continuous line without breaks.
Thanks for your help! As of this writing, February 1 through February 11 have all been brought into conformity with the new scheme.

Request for major reworking: Filioque
Filioque could use some serious help. I initially imported it from Wikipedia, but it's so convoluted and disorganized that it's really no good. --Rdr. Andrew 12:10, 2 Feb 2005 (CST)
