MarioWiki:Maintenance: Difference between revisions

''Sub-pages: [[/Main Page|Main Page]]

As a [[Wikipedia:Wiki|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.

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 or special page below to get started and find a page to edit which interests you.

|align=left| '''Stubs:''' Articles that lack basic information. A stub should be expanded to at least 350 bytes or more depending on the article.<br>[[:Category:Stubs]]

|align=left|'''Unlicensed Images:''' Images without [[:Category:Image copyright tags|one of these templates]] that excludes them from [[:Category:Images by copyright status|a sub-category of this]].

|align=left|'''Images without {{[[template:aboutfile|aboutfile]]}}:''' {{[[template:aboutfile|aboutfile]]}} is important because it shows a description and the source of an image. These are images without the {{[[template:aboutfile|aboutfile]]}} template.

|align=left|'''Articles under {{[[template:construction|construction]]}}:''' Articles that are not fully finished and need work.<br>[[:Category:Articles under construction]]

|align=left|'''Rewrite:''' Poorly-written articles (e.g. ridden with grammar mistakes) that need to be fixed, or articles dumped from Wikipedia that need originality here.<br>Normal: [[:Category:Rewrite Requested]] • Expand: [[:Category:Rewrite and Expansion Requested]]

|align=left|'''Image requested:''' Articles that need at least one image to illustrate the subject. <small>Note: The queue is severely backed up.</small><br>[[:Category:Image requested]]

|align=left|'''Images with bad quality:''' These images are of bad quality and need to be reuploaded.<br>[[:Category:Quality requested]]

|align=left|'''No category:''' Articles without a category (ignore the Main Page)<br>[[Special:UncategorizedPages]]

|align=left|'''Unresolved talk pages:''' Talk pages with unresolved questions.<br>[[:Category:Unresolved talk pages]]

|style="border-top:3px solid black" align=left|'''Wanted pages''': Nonexistent articles that have the most red links to them. Most wanted article is at the top.<br>See [[Special:Wantedpages]]

|align=left|'''Orphaned:''' Articles that have no links '''from''' anywhere else.<br>See [[Special:Lonelypages]]

|align=left|'''Double redirects:''' Redirects that lead to another redirect. Should be edited so both redirect to the same target page.<br>See [[Special:DoubleRedirects]]
