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 or special page 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 |
