As a wiki, we have technical and gritty cleanup to do. Now that we are an established and ever-growing wiki with tons of active contributors, here you will find certain items to keep order around here.
Continuous Maintenance
With problems such as short pages, badly-written articles and unlicensed images, maintaining order is just as important as adding articles to the database – hence, this section. You'll find many pages that need fixing – whether it's licensing, expansion or adding images. Click on a given category below to get started and find a page to edit which interests you.
SB | Stubs: Articles that lack basic information. A stub should be at least be expanded to 350 bytes or more in depending on the article. Category:Stubs - Rewrite and Expansion Requested |
---|---|
LI | Unlicensed Images: Images without one of these templates that excludes them from a sub-category of this. |
AF | Images without {{aboutfile}}: {{aboutfile}} is important because it shows a description and the source of an image. These are images without the {{aboutfile}} template. |
CN | Articles under {{construction}}: Articles that are not fully finished and need work. Category:Articles under construction |
RW | Rewrite: Poorly-written articles (e.g. ridden with grammar mistakes) that need to be fixed, or articles dumped from Wikipedia that need originality here. Normal: Category:Rewrite Requested • Expand: Category:Rewrite and Expansion Requested |
IM | Image requested: Articles that need an image(s) to illustrate the subject. Note: The queue is severely backed up. Category:Image requested |
IQ | Images with bad quality: These images are of bad quality, and need to be reuploaded. Category:Quality requested |
NC | No category: Articles without a category (ignore the Main Page) Special:UncategorizedPages |
UT | Unresolved talk pages: Talk pages with unresolved questions. Category:Unresolved talk pages |
WP | Wanted pages: Nonexistent articles that have the most red links to them. Most wanted in special page is at top. See Special:Wantedpages |
OR | Orphaned: Articles that have no links from anywhere else. See Special:Lonelypages |
DE | Dead-end pages: Articles that have no links to anywhere else. See Special:Deadendpages |
DR | Double redirects: Redirects that lead to another redirect. Should be edited so both redirect to the same target page. See Special:DoubleRedirects |
BR | Broken redirects: Redirects that lead to a nonexistent page. Article should be created or redirect fixed to target page. See Special:BrokenRedirects |
UN | Unused files: All files should be used in at least one page. Some are lying around waiting to be tagged with {{delete}} as well. See Special:Unusedimages |
