[edit] Introduction

The following is a list of things that need to be done, and things that need to be monitored on the wiki. Anyone may do these tasks and the administrators will be eternally grateful.

[edit] Things For Anyone TODO

• Categories have started to be used, these need to be added to all pages... Add at your leisure as you edit pages
• We have enough articles to crosslink them, so please use them if possible.
• More Wiki related information needs to be added and expanded. The wiki is a little lacking on help documentation and so forth. This would be great to help bring in more users, and help wiki beginners get started

[edit] Things For Users TODO

• Check the 2 different wanted pages: Wanted and Special:Wantedpages
• Translate Something, See Gentoo_Linux_Wiki:Translation_Instructions
• Expand Stub Articles, See Category:Stub
• Wikification is needed on some documents, See Category:Wikify
• Page Cleanup, See Category:Cleanup

[edit] Things For Admins TODO

• Make sure your user information is up to date and on the Admin Listing
• Inspect diffs in articles and if it is appropriate mark the article as valid
• Fix scrolling boxes so that the expand properly when printing, might be a IE bug. Should be a CSS printing edit.

[edit] Things to Monitor

• Update the Offline wiki tar. The bots page says a bot already updates it monthly, but it's not updated since 2005.
• As new pages are created, make sure they have their respective Index code at the top.
• The Orphaned pages need a home.. make sure they are linked to their respective index and so forth, See Special:Lonelypages
• Dead End Pages need to link somewhere. This generally also signifies a lack of an Index listing at the top, See Special:Deadendpages
• Keep formatting consistent.
• The other Wanted page needs to be checked. It is mostly definitions.
• Pages need to be updated to use Definitions, this will shorten articles and make them easier to read. It will also encourage more advanced users to the site.
• Maintenance, Nuf Said
