There's always a lot of work to be done on the wiki.

Special Pages

  • Wanted Pages are pages that people have linked to, but haven't written about yet. You could write about some topics that people want to know more about!
  • Orphaned Pages are pages that people wrote about in the past, but are no longer linked to. There could be a couple of reasons for this.
    • First, a link may have just been accidentally removed. Check the pages orphaned pages link to, and see if they link back.
    • The orphaned page might also be an error of some sort, such as a misspelling. You should make sure the real page has all the information on the orphan page, and then redirect it to the real page.
  • Dead-End Pages are short pages that have no links leading away from them. They most likely do have terms in them that can be turned into links, but just haven't yet.
  • Old Pages could probably use updated information.
  • Short Pages are empty or nearly-empty pages.
    • If the page was emptied because it was a duplicate, you should check their histories to see if all their information is covered elsewhere, and then delete the page.
    • If it is not a duplicate, treat it like a Wanted Page and write something for it.

Consistency and Formatting

Ideally, we should use some general consistency and formatting rules across the wiki.

  • Making Stub Templates will also help ensure that similar pages have a similar look.
  • After these are standardized into stub templates, we can throw up stubs for all the wanted pages.
  • For a list of existing stub templates, see Stubs.

Templates

  • Create a template for citations
