Minor changes

These are minor changes that take little time. They are good if you have limited time available for UniWiki editing.

Spelling and grammar changes

When you come across spelling and grammar errors, please feel free to correct them.

Flagging pages that need work

If a page that needs some work, but you do not have the time or knowledge to do it yourself, use either {{update}} or {{cleanup}} template.

Give as much information as you can when you flag the page, so the person working on it knows what they should be doing.

Broken Redirects

If a page redirects to a page that was deleted or moved, the redirect will be broken. Find a more appropriate place for the page to redirect to or alternatively mark it for {{deletion}} if there is no relevant page for the redirect.

Check whether any other pages link to the deleted/moved page at the same time. To do this click on What links here in the toolbox section of the left sidebar.

Double Redirects

These are pages which redirect to one page, which then redirects to another. Edit the redirect for the first page to ensure it points to the eventual destination.

Medium changes

These are changes that can often be done in one sitting.

Candidates for cleanup

These pages should be reformatted or otherwise improved for grammar, typographical errors, organization, readability or formatting.

When you are finished, remove the {{cleanup}} template.

Candidates for moving

These pages should be moved by using the drop down menu at the top right of the page, next to the search bar.

Check What links here in the toolbox section of the left sidebar and correct any links that are broken as a result of the move.

When you are finished, remove the {{move}} template.

Pages with broken file links

If a file was deleted or moved, its link will be broken.

If the file is useful, then upload it using What links here in the toolbox section of the left sidebar. If the file is not useful, then remove the link from the page.

Check whether the same file is linked elsewhere and to remove the links on those pages also.

Dead-end pages

These pages do not link to any other pages on the UniWiki. Sometimes they are on a stand-alone subject, but often they reference other areas of the game which are described in other UniWiki pages. Have a read through and link any relevant pages.

Orphaned pages

These pages are not linked to from any other pages on the UniWiki. Again sometimes there is a good reason for this, but often they provide useful information that is not being utilised. If you can think of other pages which these pages are relevant to, please edit those pages to include links to the orphaned page.

Uncategorized pages

These are pages which are not currently within any of our Categories. If you can find a relevant category already then add the page to that category. If there is not an existing category, but there are several pages on the same theme, consider creating a new category for them.

Unused Categories

These are categories which already exist, but have not pages within them. If there are relevant pages then add them to the category. If there are no relevant pages for that category, then flag the category for deletion.

Unused Templates

These are templates which already exist, but are not used on any pages. If there are pages which could use the template, then add the template to the page. If there are no relevant pages to use that template, then flag the template for deletion.

Wanted Categories

These are categories which have members, but do not yet exist. If the category is valid, create it and write a short summary. There may be other pages which would fit into the category now it exists. If the category is not valid, remove the category link from the member pages.

Wanted Pages (correcting links)

These are pages which have been linked to from somewhere in the UniWiki, but do not currently exist. They will show on the linking page as a broken link. Sometimes there is already an existing page which contains the information. If this is the case, then correct the link to point to the relevant existing page.

Wanted Templates (correcting links)

These are templates which have been linked to from somewhere in the UniWiki, but do not currently exist. Sometimes there is already an existing template which performs the same function. If this is the case, then correct the page to use the correct template.

Major changes

These are changes which may take a lot of time. They are perfect for someone who wants a project to work on, and normally involve building something from scratch.

Candidates for merging

This is where two (or more) pages contain similar information, and they have been flagged for merging together. Either select the page with the most useful information, and merge information from the other page into it, or alternatively create a new page and merge the information from both pages together. Once you are finished, don't forget to remove the Merge template and redirect all pages to your finished page.

Needing updates

These pages have been flagged as needing an update due to game or policy changes. You will need to have a decent knowledge of the subject area to update them. Once you have updated the page, remember to remove the Update template.

Stubs

These are pages which are either not yet completed, or are too short and need more information to be of use. Feel free to add to these pages to make them into a full page. Don't forget to remove the Stub template when you are finished.

Work in Progress (working on the page)

These are pages which are flagged as presently being worked on by someone. If the subject is something you know about. perhaps you can work together on it. Remember to remove the Work in Progress template when the page is finished.

Wanted Pages (building new pages)

These are pages which have been linked to from somewhere in the UniWiki, but do not currently exist. If the subject is not already covered in sufficient detail on an existing page, and if you have knowledge on the subject area then build a new page on the subject.

Wanted Templates (building new templates)

These are templates which have been linked to from somewhere in the UniWiki, but do not currently exist. If the template would be useful for this and other pages, then build a new template.

Non-neutral articles

These are pages which are not written with a neutral point of view (NPOV). Revising these pages may require specialized knowledge of the subject matter to correctly separate factual information from biased presentation.
