General Tasks

These are general maintenance tasks that need to be regularly checked up on, to make sure everything is running smoothly. If you don't know what to do, or don't have much time, this is a good place to start. Every little bit helps! Don't forget when editing to follow the style guide.

• Clean up pages - fix things like formatting, grammar, and spelling. Check the pages needing cleanup, new pages, the recent changes, or just any random page.
• Fix broken redirects (redirects that go to the wrong place), and double redirects (infinite loops).
• Add more items to categories. Items without categories can include pages, images, and categories. (Yes, you can make a category a member of a parent category!)
• Expand short pages and articles.
• Update articles
• Create wanted pages and categories.
• Check unlinked to pages and add links to any pages that should link to them.
• Check dead end pages (pages without links to other pages), and add any possible links to other parts of the wiki.
• Check the long pages. For the pages that need it, split into multiple pages.
• Make helpful illustrations or other files and upload them.

Assigned

These general tasks have specific people assigned to them:

• update Known Issues from bugzilla (at least weekly, better daily). --Piranha 23:29, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
• update DW changes from LJ from bugzilla. --Piranha 23:29, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
• update [1] from bugzilla. --Jamie

Specific Tasks

A specific task is a single, one-time item to do (unlike general tasks, which are ongoing). If you've decided to take on one of these tasks, please claim it by moving it to the Assigned section below and signing your name after it (using --~~~~).

• Look at everybody on the Who page. If they have a wiki account and are okay with it being linked to that info, copy their info to their Wiki user page.
• Keep an eye out for outdated links to Bugzilla--it is now on the subdomain bugs.dwscoalition.org. There might be some strays still around.
• Make sure all Special:Categories have a blurb to describe them.
• Make a guide to using S2up.pl for aspiring style makers
• Make a Mercurial Walkthrough guide

Assigned

These tasks are the responsibility of the given people:

• None!

Bureaucrat Tasks

Tasks that bureaucrats can do. (See Special:ListGroupRights for the definition of a bureaucrat, and Special:ListUsers to see if you have these capabilities.)

• Use the Special:UserRights page to give any people on Special:ListUsers not in team that do NOT look like they have random spammer names access to the team set of user rights, which will let them skip the captcha.

Sysop Tasks

Tasks that sysops can do. (See Special:ListGroupRights for the definition of a sysop, and Special:ListUsers to see if you have these capabilities.)

• None!

Admin Tasks

These are tasks that foxfirefey needs to do.

• Consider any benefits in adding SemanticMediaWiki: is it more trouble than it is worth or would it be put to good purpose?
• Export database/code weekly to desktop.
