Ongoing Tasks - Maintenance

• Check and fix problems with redirects, where one page links to another. Redirects enable multiple names to work when a page is renamed, or when there are several logical names for a page, but too many redirects can be confusing. Thus, when a page is renamed, it may be better in the long run to rename all links to it; to find links to a page, use [[Special:WhatLinksHere]] (near the bottom of the sidebar).
  • Special:BrokenRedirects are redirects to pages that don't exist. This can happen when a page is renamed several times (e.g. Name1-->Name2-->Name3), and an intermediate name (e.g. Name2) is deleted. The prior name (e.g. Name1) is now a broken redirect.
  • Special:DoubleRedirects are chains of 2 (or more) redirects (e.g. Name1-->Name2-->Name3). If both are needed, it might be better to have 2 separate redirects (e.g. Name1-->Name3 and Name2-->Name3).
• Check Special:WantedCategories, Special:WantedPages, and Special:WantedTemplates, which are items that don't exist but are referenced with links. These may be opportunities to expand the wiki. They may also be misstyped names.
• Check Special:OrphanedPages, which are pages that are not linked from other pages in the wiki. Orphans may be difficult for people to find without other navigation tools (e.g. categories).
• Check Special:DeadendPages, which are pages that do not link to other pages in the wiki. Deadends may be opportunities to expand the wiki or link other content.
• Check Special:UncategorizedCategories, Special:UncategorizedPages, and Special:UncategorizedTemplates, which may be more difficult to locate.
• Check Special:UnusedCategories and Special:UnusedTemplates.
• Check Special:LongPages, which might better be split into several smaller pages.
• Check Special:ShortPages, which might be stubs that should be expanded or removed.
• Check Special:ProtectedPages, which are pages that some users cannot edit; normally wiki pages should be editable by any user.
• Find and fix broken links to other sites (use a tool like http://deadlinkchecker.com or http://brokenlinkcheck.com).
