Category:Maintenance: Difference between revisions

Top level category for things to watch, both for users interested in cleaning up and for staff to keep a lid on.

Additional special pages to watch:

• Special:DoubleRedirects: if going on a delete/fix spree, also watch Special:BrokenRedirects.
• Special:UncategorizedPages: Pages should not be left in the wild without categories.
• Special:WantedCategories Every category should have a page and be in another appropriate hub category so it can be part of this structure. Only ignore categories with autogenerated dates for blogs. That won't go away (it's how the extension works) and it doesn't make sense to keep up on every single day. They're clumped together so skip by them.
• Special:WantedTemplates This means there are broken template calls and we shouldn't see this. Make sure the call is correct, or remove if no template is needed.
• Special:WantedPages These are pages that don't exist but are being linked to. If the page should exist, create it. If the page shouldn't exist, remove the link to it.

Pages for staff specifically to watch:

• Category:Candidates for deletion: most important thing here to keep up on.
• Special:UnusedCategories: consider if these categories are needed. Remember, if you want to delete a category, you must ensure it's gone from every page as well.
• Special:UnusedFiles: Files that have no purpose. If you're bored, wipe out ones that just don't do the wiki any good. Files take more space than anything else so spring cleaning here is good. Make sure it has no use before deleting.
• Special:TrackingCategories: A list of other categories that track weirder errors.
