• Document the following shader parameters: $dropshadow, $layeredgenormal, $layertint, $newlayerblending (series of CSGO shader parameters for WorldVertexTransition), $decaltexture (series of CSGO shader parameters for VertexLitGeneric)
• Update the documentation of the following shader parameters (unique articles): $ambientocclusion, $detail, $distancealpha, $flesh, $envmap, $treeSway, $vertexalpha.
• Take one or more screenshots for the following shader parameters (unique articles): $ambientocclusion, $color, $emissiveblend, $nocull, $seamless_scale, $treeSway, $vertexalpha.
• Take one or more screenshots for the following shader parameters ($envmap): $envmapcontrast, $envmapsaturation, $envmapfresnel, $envmapfresnelminmaxexp, $fresnelreflection, $envmaplightscale, $envmaplightscaleminmax, $envmapanisotropy, $envmapanisotropyscale
• Take one or more screenshots for the following shader parameters ($phong): $phongexponent, $phongexponenttexture, $phongfresnelranges, $phongdisablehalflambert, $phongalbedotint, $phongalbedoboost

Sky Lists

• Document the skies and values associated with them for Dear Esther, Half-Life 2: Update, Black Mesa, and Insurgency.

Third-party Tools

Wiki stuff

• Document how to use the following templates: Template:Base point, Template:Base brush, Template:Shader, Template:Shaderparam, Template:SkylistTableCaption.
• Revamp the BaseEntity templates to split off into Targetname, Parentname, etc. sections. Find a way to show which keyvalues/inputs/outputs are in the FGD and which aren't per entity within the templates.
