| Pages to Help You Help the Wiki Keep Organised
|
| These are pages on this wiki that list you to various things that need to be either fixed, updated, altered, deleted, created, etc. These are types of things that are needed on all wikis, not specific to roleplay wikis. These are things that just keep the wiki generally organised and do not directly relate to activities or roleplay. These are things that are generally not a priority here, but that doesn't mean they don't need to be done eventually, it just means don't ignore things like claiming, roleplay, activities or keeping the user/char lists updated to do these things.
|
| List of Broken Redirects:
|
The pages listed on this page are old redirect pages that now link to deleted pages. The old redirect pages need to be deleted. If you are not an Admin or Crat, you can mark the pages with {{Delete|'''reason for deletion'''}} and someone will delete them later.
| |
|
|
| List of Double Redirects:
|
These are pages that have been moved more than once, because of this it has created a chain of redirecting. The original pages (first column in the list) need to be edited and redirect changed to the newest page in the chain of redirects (the last column in the list). This makes sure that redirecting stays smooth.

| Files Without Categories:
|
These are files (images and videos) that do not have categories on them, this is always a huge list because people rarely remember to or bother to add categories to files, a list of what types of image categories there is to add is here.
| |
|
|
| Templates Without Categories:
|
These are templates that do not have categories. An idea of what Templates can get for categories (besides the user category that owns the template) is here.
| |
|
|
| Categories Not in Use
|
These categories are no longer in use and need to be deleted or marked with {{Delete|'''Not in use on any page'''}} if you do not have delete privileges.
| |
|
|
| Files/Images Not in Use
|
These Files/Images are no longer in use and need to be deleted or marked with {{Delete|'''Not in use on any page'''}} if you do not have delete privileges.
| |
|
|
| Templates Not in Use
|
These Templates are no longer in use and need to be deleted or marked with {{Delete|'''Not in use on any page'''}} if you do not have delete privileges. However, it is important to note, that just because a template is not in use does NOT mean it should be deleted per se. It requires common sense and user discretion to decide what is important and what is not. A word bubble of a user who left that never used the template should be deleted, a power template for a god parent currently not in use should be kept just in case. These are just a few examples, if you are unsure of something, always ask.

|
| Videos Not in Use
|
These Videos are no longer in use and need to be deleted or marked with {{Delete|'''Not in use on any page'''}} if you do not have delete privileges.
| |
|
|
| Needed Categories
|
These are categories that have yet to be created but that have been added to the bottom of active pages. Just because it is listed here, doesn't necessarily mean it /has/ to be created. Someone may have just spelled a category wrong (Character instead of Characters with an S at the end). Spelling and capitalisation is VERY important when it comes to category names.

|
| Red-linked Pages
|
Pages are often deleted on this wiki, that also often leaves the wiki with lots of unintentional red links. A red link is when someone linked to a page link example but then the page was deleted deleted page example. In order to fix this anywhere that page was linked, needs to be unlinked (remove the [[]]'s that turn it into a clickable link).
| |
|
|
| Red-linked Files/Images
|
These are files that have either been deleted but their links not removed, or someone just randomly added file links to images that they never uploaded (some users put "WIP" where a file name should go, which creates a red link situation). Links need to be removed or pictures uploaded.
| |
|
|
| Red-linked Templates
|
|
{{User:BelladonnaTook/Scroll5
|
These are Templates that have either been deleted but their links not removed, or someone just randomly added the Template:'s for a template but never created the template in question. This could happen if a user intends to make the template at some point later on but has yet to do so. These links either need to be removed or the template's created.

| Pages With Interesting Info
|
| These are pages you can use to find information about the state of the wiki, what are the longest pages, the shortest pages, who are all the users who have ever edited here, that sort of thing.
|
|
|
| List of Oldest Pages:
|
This list organises the pages on the wiki from oldest page to created to newest page created.
| |
|
|
| Pages With Fewest Revisions:
|
This list organises the pages starting at the top with the pages that have been edited the fewest times on the wiki.
| |
|
|
|
|
| List of Protected Pages:
|
These are pages that for whatever reason have been locked so that only Admins or Crats may edit them.
| |
|
|
| List of Short Pages:
|
This list organises the pages on the wiki from shortest page to longest page. This is VERY important if this wiki applies for Spotlight because any pages under 300 bytes can keep the wiki from getting spotlight approval. A few are allowed, but it should be a VERY small percentage of the overall page count on the Wiki.

|
|
| Tags Report Page:
|
This keeps track of some of the most commonly used wiki tags (<createbox>, <dpl>, <gallery>, <mainpage>, <poem>, <poll>/ <slider>, <slideshow>, <verbatim>, <watch> and <youtube>) and will tell you where they are in use on the wiki.

|
| Special Pages This Wiki Doesn't Use
|
| These are pages that we do not really have a use for on this Wiki and why.
|
| List of Dead End Pages:
|
These are pages that do not have any links anywhere on the pages. This isn't important because as we are not an Encyclo wiki, linking to other pages on every single page isn't a priority. It can't hurt, but it isn't something that needs to be done either.
| |
|
|
| Orphaned Pages:
|
This lists pages on the wiki that are not linked anywhere. In some ways this list could be handy, because one has to ask yourself, if this page isn't linked anywhere on the wiki, is the page really that important. If the page that doesn't link anywhere is a character page, that can indicate that the user has not roleplayed that character at all and possibly not even made a word bubble for them. Perhaps it's an abandoned bedroom page of a character that was deleted, but it also gets a lot of pages that never get linked on pages and that's claims, because of that this list can be very hard to sort through, and the benefit isn't really worth the effort.

|
| No Inter Wiki Languages:
|
This page means jack to us because we are not an encyclo wiki so we do not link to other wikis on the same topic in a different language.
