Reports
There are a lot of maintenance reports in the first section of the page Special:SpecialPages. Most tasks for this projects will be related to those reports.
Highly interesting reports
These are the reports that should be checked regularly and ideally be empty.
- Special:BrokenRedirects
- Special:DoubleRedirects
- Special:UncategorizedCategories should only contain Super-categories
- Special:UncategorizedFiles
- Special:UncategorizedPages should only contain Main Page
- Special:UncategorizedTemplates
Interesting reports
These are reports that have the second highest priority. The goal is to get some of them empty over time as well.
- Special:FewestRevisions ignore translations - other pages might need some looking-over -> Project:Quality control's job
- Special:WantedCategories should maybe be created - never directly create wanted translated categories, but translate the original category
Slightly interesting reports
These are reports that should not be of high concern.
- Special:DeadEndPages contain lots of Drafts
- Special:LongPages are not really an issue
- Special:OrphanedPages contain lots of Drafts
- Special:ProtectedPages only Paula can edit those
- Special:ProtectedTitles empty
- Special:ShortPages ignore Main Page and translations - others might need more content -> Project:Quality control's job
- Special:UnusedCategories ignore translations - other categories should either be used or deleted (might be typos)
- Special:UnusedFiles contain files used deeper in the wiki - others might be unnecessary
- Special:UnusedTemplates ignore translations - other than that contains mostly templates that are just currently unused
- Special:UnwatchedPages contain mostly translations - only relevant if you use watchlist and not Special:RecentChanges
- Special:WantedFiles only some of these are really wanted
- Special:WantedPages contain mostly missing translations
- Special:WantedTemplates contain mostly missing translations
Broken reports
These are reports that don't work on this wiki.
- Special:AncientPages don't really show the oldest pages - also not really relevant
- Special:WithoutInterwiki doesn't work with the translation extention that we use
Translations of categories
Here we'll list which categories in the category tree should be marked for translation (by adding <languages/><translate></translate>) and which not.
Generally it's a good idea to mark a category for translation, if the pages in it are/should be marked for translation.
Legend:
- ✔️ means the category is already marked for translation
- ✔️❗️ means it should be but isn't marked for translation
- no emoji means it's not decided yet
- ❌ means it shouldn't be marked for translation

Other tasks
- all categories should be in plural form (Drafts, Fediverse projects...). This was not considered in the past, but User:Paula did a mass-action to change that. If you find a category where it's still wrong let Paula know. Only she can use Special:ReplaceText.
- check Special:NewFiles and add license information and source
- make sub-categories of large categories where it makes sense
- make sure all pages are categorized correctly
- decide which pages should be included in the Template:Navbar
- writing and improving the Category:Editing guides is generally the task of Project:Guidance, but questions like "how should articles be categorized" (see Project:Style guide) also fall into our jurisdiction.
What was going on on February 14th and 15th? |

User:Paula was moving some templates and categories and then starting an automated process to change all referrals to those templates and categories. This was done to follow the naming scheme (see Capitalization and Naming scheme) and for consistency. Here is what has been changed:
