Helpful cleanup templates:
Interested in cleaning up Mises Wiki? You've come to the right place. Here are some things you can do:
Cleanup tasks
Categorize
- All existing categories can be found by looking at the alphabetical list or by using the category tree tool.
- Uncategorized files
- All files should be in two categories – a license category and a content category.
- Uncategorized templates
- All templates, except template subpages, should be in a category.
- Uncategorized categories
- No category should be uncategorized, except Category:Categories.
- Uncategorized pages
- No pages, except article subpages, should be uncategorized. (Please note that some categorized pages have only a "Stub" category!)
Fix redirects
- Broken redirects
- All redirects should point to a page. If one doesn't, add
{{delete}}to it.
- All redirects should point to a page. If one doesn't, add
- Double redirects
- No redirect should point to another redirect. If one does, change it to point to the target of the second redirect instead.
Improve articles
- To find articles that need to be created or expanded, see the suggestions at the community portal: for example, Stubs, Short pages, and Wanted pages.
- Category:Mises Wiki articles incorporating text from Wikipedia without a version ID
- These articles have text copied from Wikipedia, but don't identify which version was copied. To fix this, look in the history of the Mises Wiki article to find when it was copied from Wikipedia. Then find the version ID on the Wikipedia article that corresponds with that date.
- Category:Mises Wiki articles incorporating text from Wikipedia
- These articles have text copied from Wikipedia. They should be eventually rewritten to have original content and not rely on Wikipedia.
- Orphaned pages
- No articles link to these pages. Find or create one that should.
- Dead-end pages
- These pages don't have any links to other articles. Add some!
- Category:Deletion candidates
- Remove {{delete}} if you disagree with the deletion. If not, either delete the article (if you are an administrator) or contact an administrator and ask him or her to delete it.
Improve links
- Many pages contain links to Wikipedia pages in their body, these should be replaced with regular wiki links. (But please don't remove WP pages under the "Links" section and the like, they serve as important resource about the topic of the page.)
Other
- From time to time check the Special:BookSources page and whether the ISBN searches still work.
- Go through Category:Concepts and Category:Economic concepts and check whether everything is where it belongs.
- Add a Wikipedia link to each of the Category:States of the United States.
- Template {{Citation needed}} gives the page it is used on two (red-linked) categories: "All articles with unsourced statements" and "Articles with unsourced statements ..." (optionally with a date). One category should be enough. The template needs to be fixed, and before that all pages that use it - a few use the date parameter. Create the category.
