These are changes that can often be done in one sitting.
;[[:Category:Candidates_for_cleanup|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 {{tl|cleanup}} template.


*[[:Category:Candidates_for_cleanup|Candidates for cleanup]] - These pages have been flagged as needing changes to grammar, organisation or readability. Typically they do not require a detailed knowledge of the subject area to fix, just a keen eye for language and formatting. When you are finished, don't forget to remove the ''Cleanup'' template.
;[[:Category:Candidates_for_merging|Candidates for merging]]
*[[:Category:Candidates_for_moving|Candidates for moving]] - These pages have been flagged to be moved. Review the page and if you agree that it should be moved, then move it using the drop down menu at the top right of the page, next to the search bar. Make sure you check 'What links here' and correct any links that are broken as a result of the move, and that you remove the ''Move'' template after moving the page.
:These pages contain similar information and need to be merged.
*[[:Category:Pages_with_broken_file_links|Pages with broken file links]] - These are pages which contain a link to a file (e.g. an image) that does not exist. this may be because the file has been deleted, or because it never existed. If the file is useful, then upload it using  'Upload file' in the Toolbox section of the left sidebar. If the file is not useful, then remove the link from the page. It is good practice to check whether the same file is linked elsewhere and to remove the links on those pages also.
:Select the page with the most useful information and merge information from the other page into it or create a new page and merge the information from both pages together.
*[[Special:DeadendPages|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.
:Once you are finished remove the {{tl|merge}} template and redirect all pages to your finished page.
*[[Special:LonelyPages|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.
*[[Special:UncategorizedPages|Uncategorized pages]] - These are pages which are not currently within any of our [[Special:Categories|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.
*[[Special:UnusedCategories|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.
*[[Special:UnusedTemplates|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.
*[[Special:WantedCategories|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.
*[[Special:WantedPages|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.
*[[Special:WantedTemplates|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==
;[[:Category:Needing updates|Needing updates]]
:These pages need an update due to game changes.
:Feel free to update these pages.
:Once you have updated the page the {{tl|update}} template.


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.
;[[:Category:Stubs|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.
:Once you are finished remove the {{tl|stub}} template.


*[[:Category:Candidates_for_merging|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.
;[[:Category:Work_in_progress|Work in Progress]]
*[[:Category:Needing updates|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.
:These pages are being actively worked on by an editor.
*[[:Category:Stubs|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.

*[[:Category:Work_in_progress|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.
:Once you are finished remove the {{tl|work in progress}} template.
*[[Special:WantedPages|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.
*[[Special:WantedTemplates|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.
*[[:Category:Non-neutral articles|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.
