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!

• Expand articles or short pages
• Clean up pages according to the style guide
• Update articles
• Create wanted pages and wanted categories
• Review new pages and recent changes for style and content
• Fix broken redirects, double redirects
• See if uncategorized pages, uncategorized categories, and uncategorized images can be categorized. Keep the current categories in mind.
• Make helpful illustrations or other files and upload them.
• Look at dead end pages and see if there is content in there that should be linking to other parts of the wiki.
• Look at unlinked to pages and see if there are pages that might want to be linking to them.
• Examine the top of the long pages list--are they getting unwieldy? Should they be cut up?
• Go to a random page. Does it suck? Could it be made better? Is information out of date?
• Go to the list of all pages. Do you know about them? If not, are they any good?
• Sync the Known Issues page with this bug list. If something's on the wiki list, and when you click through to the bug it's marked as RESOLVED/FIXED, take it off the wiki list. If it's on the Bugzilla list and not on the wiki list, but something you think a user would notice, add it to the wiki list.

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)

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.

• 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• Keep an eye out for outdated links to Bugzilla--it is now on the subdomain bugs.dwscoalition.org.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!

Bureaucrats

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.)

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.
