MarioWiki:Maintenance

As a wiki, we have technical and gritty cleanup to do. Now that we are an established and ever-growing wiki with tens of active contributors, and here you will find certain items to keep order around here.

Welcome Committee
The welcome committee is in charge of the following:
 * Making sure every new user's talk page contains a form of a welcome template, personal or normal
 * Providing extra help if the new user has any other questions not answered by the template.

Any user can still welcome a new user, but the members of this committee make sure that the user understands the expectations, style of writing and rules we have come to accept and follow here. If you are a new user reading this, click one of the "talk" links below to ask an additional question. Also, many of these members are active in the chat room.

Maintenance Committee
The Maintenance Committee is run by democracy. The committee ensures that Orphaned pages will be linked, unused files will be tagged for deletion or used, unlabeled PIs will be deleted, and other maintenance work will be done. Anyone who is up for it can join the committee. (sign up here).

Continuous Maintenance
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. There are sometimes 200+ pages with one single issue, which is quite intimidating, but here we only show 3 per cleanup point.

Using the extension DynamicPageList, three pages that match the problem listed below are shown randomly. If you are good at fixing one of these issues, repair the articles listed in the row, then refresh this page for another batch of three. The issues that cannot be represented by using DPL at the bottom have links to special pages which look much more intimidating than what it would be, but can still be done in small steps, one at a time.
