Project Clean-Up

Project Clean-Up is a cross-wiki maintenance effort started in 2020 to improve the quality of organization and resources for a variety of wikis.

These projects are somewhat different for each site, but general tasks across all wikis include the following objectives:

• Reduce the amount of unused content, such as unused images, templates, or pages (Orphaned/Lonely and Dead-end Pages), either by integrating it into existing content, making new material around it, or by deleting it.

• Categorize all pages, including files, templates, and even other categories.

• Ensure all templates have proper, consistent documentation for use, as well as appropriate licensing.

• Adjust double redirects to be direct links (or removing redundant ones entirely).

• Trim Interwiki to only contain relevant links, and to ensure all links use HTTPS.

• Reduce wanted pages, if possible.

• Reduce Lint Errors, through the use of the Linter extension.

• Delete empty talk pages.

These tasks are unique in the sense that it generally does not necessitate knowledge towards a specific franchise in order to be able to complete them, which allows for users to more easily cross between wikis to participate in improvements.
