**Improve wording as much as can be done.
 
**Modify examples to match our use cases.
 
**Remove technical wordage that wouldn't be useful to our users.
 
* Filling in the [[BattleTechWiki:Template index]], using the below as a guide
 
* Taking a look at what we currently have here: {{cl|Documentation see also templates}}
 
** Reviewing, modifying and export any list templates in that category
 
** Checking if there are any other useful list templates needed by us on [[w:Category:Documentation see also templates|on Wikipedia's version of the same]]
 
* Uploading of svg file images for use on templates
 
**It has been recommended that we use [https://icon-sets.iconify.design/mdi/ Material Design Icons]
 
**Attempt to use the most "like" icon, referencing what Wikipedia is using for it
 
* Create '''real''' pages of the categories listed here {{cl|System Related Pages}}
