Stogiepedia:Cleanup
From Stogiepedia
A wiki is an ongoing project that will never reach a "completed" stage. Since content is always being added to Stogiepedia and new pages are always being created, we will always be cleaning up our wiki. If you consider yourself a perfectionist, these are the projects for you. Also see Category:Articles needing cleanup for articles that have been flagged for revision and updating.

General Cleanup
If you find an article in need of some work and are either unsure how to proceed or would like some help fixing it up, add the template {{cleanup}} to the beginning of the article to flag it for future edits. Also add a comment to the talk page indicating what you believe should be done. The Category:Articles needing cleanup page will be updated automatically.
Disambiguation Pages with links
Ideally nothing should link to a disambiguation page. Using the "What links here" feature, you can determine if any article in the Category:Disambiguation has unneeded links. Links should be edited to go to the appropriate article.
Dead End Pages, Orphaned Pages, etc.
There are a number of pages on the "Special Pages" list that are useful tools to keep the wiki in tip-top condition.
- Orphans: Pages that are not linked to by any other page (note: ideally, disambig pages should be orphaned)
- Dead End Pages: Pages that do not link to any other page
- Wanted Pages: Requested pages that do not exist yet
Before creating a new page, check that a suitable page does not already exist.
Pages Needing Deletion
If you find a page that doesn’t seem to belong on the wiki, comment on its talk page whether or not it should stay. If consensus to delete is reached a sysop will delete the page.
If a page is created as part of vandalism to the wiki, is an unnecessary redirect, a duplicate unused image, or is patent nonsense, a sysop will delete it shortly.
