I finally found out why so many OXPs were being tagged as Unclassified OXPs: (SIRF, Superhub, UsefulMFDs, Barrel Roll, etc).

People had used a sensible but wrong entry for the OXP category. Note now made on the http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Catego ... ified_OXPs to help other would-be fixers in future!
Sounds to me like we should track down all the typos in the plist files. There are 92 instances of 'unknown key' listed in
http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Index_of_artefacts
Happy to help.

What should I do?

What does 'unknown key' really mean? What is a key?

OXPs contain a number of plist files. These contain maps, which more or less can be read like name -> value.
The names are called keys, and in case of manifest.plist you can see the allowed keys and their meaning listed on http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Manifest.plist

The warning just states that someone used a key that is undefined for the file. Most of the time this is just due to a typo.
If you go for the occurrences where the key licence is unknown, you can see that the key license is missing.

So the task would be to check the plist files in the regrding OXPs for these occurrences and decide what went wrong, get it fixed and upload that new OXP to the expansion manager.

Have a look at the following: https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Hud.plist#labeled. You will notice that it uses the American spelling with a single L. This is incorrect, the correct syntax should be the British spelling with two L's. This would also need to be changed in the listing at the top of the hud.plist wiki (8.10) and possibly in the URL above, although the URL is not as important as the other two occurrences. Have not run into any other instances of labeled versus labelled on other wikis but it might be worth a more in depth study so that the same minor issue is not repeated. Only discovered this due to a TWEAK to the Energy Bars on my H.U.D. of choice.

I changed the Oolite wiki entry page to contain a 'Developer's corner'.

To not overflood the existing space I combined ships, stations and equipment. Now looking at it - this index is manually maintained. Would it make sense to point to https://ooliteproject.github.io/oolite- ... n-catalog/ also? But the manual version has more charm than the generated one.
