'''Note:''' While anyone is welcome to edit any part of the UniWiki at any time, consider leaving a short message on a Curator's User talk page if you decide to tackle something on their to-do list. This both lets them know that someone might be working on something they're working on, and also lets them remove finished tasks from their to-do lists.

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.
Dead-end pages
These pages do not link to any other page.
Find pages that makes sense to link to and add links to those pages. Add relevant Navigational templates to the pages or create a new navigational template for a group of orphaned pages.
Orphaned pages
These pages are not linked to from any other page.
Find pages for which it makes sense to link to this page and add links on those pages. Add relevant Navigational templates to the pages or create a new navigational template for a group of orphaned pages.

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.
Wanted categories
These categories do not yet exist or are called with a typo in the name.
If there is a typo correct it on the calling page.
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

If there is a typo correct it on the calling page.
Correct the link to point to the relevant existing page or delete the link to the non-existing page.

Deprecated pages and Deprecated templates

Correct/remove any links to the page to avoid broken links on other pages. To do this click on What links here in the toolbox section of the left sidebar.
Work in Progress
These are pages which are being worked on by someone.
Keep these under review, and if they have not been worked on in a significant time, remove the {{Work in progress}} template, and if relevant add another template, such as {{Stub}} or {{update}}.

Management tasks
