If you want to help in this project you can just link yourself below and also add {{Ic|{{Maintenance member}}</nowiki}} on your user page.<br> Members so far are: * [[User:Paula]] * [[:Category:Maintainers|category of all maintainers]] ==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: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:UncategorizedFiles]] should get categorized * [[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 ==Other tasks== * currently [[User:Paula]] changes all categories from singular to plural for consistency. Only Paula can do this. It consists of 3 steps: ** using the [[Special:ReplaceText]] page to make sure all articles link to the new category ** moving the old category to the new name ** using [[Special:PageTranslation]] to mark all pages for translations so the categories are renamed on translated pages too ** when all is done check [[Special:WantedCategories]] and [[Special:UnusedCategories]] for things that still need fixing * define which categories, pages, etc should be translated (exclude e.g. [[:Category:Articles with issues]]) and prepare them for translation by adding these: <nowiki><languages/><translate></translate>

• 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, e.g.:
  • lots of Category:Templates pages should be moved to sub-categories
• decide which pages should be included in the Template:Navbar
