Board Thread:Wiki Maintenance/@comment-26906494-20150812030236

Yes, over a month later we have part 2. Now this may or may not take effect soon, I'll have to discuss that with the admins, but I'm just telling you what I have for it.

The maintenance templates are the big focus here. I encourage everyone to find at least 1 page a day and fix the issues with it. If you don't know how here's what you do:

Orphan - Go to Special:WhatLinksHere and type the page name. If any mainspace page pops up then it's no longer an orphan. Otherwise, try to find a way to incorporate a link into another page.

Underlinked/Dead end - Just add links to the page. If you can't, then try to reword things so links can go in.

Stub - Expand the page. Add more content, but try not to repeat yourself or add useless info.

When this part takes effect, pages with more than 2 maintenance templates on may be marked as a candidate for deletion. The page maker (or whoever takes "ownership" of the page) will have 1 week to improve the page. The reason why we don't just update that page is because more than 2 maintenance templates is hard for just anyone to really improve/expand. Likely template combos include the orphan, deadend, stub; the stub, nopic, orphan; or a few others.

Lastly, if a page doesn't technically have problems to have those templates appear, it may be marked with the "Quality" template. This would include if the page is just a long list with little info (aka negating the stub template) and/or if the page is poorly written (either grammar-wise or sentence-wise). Depending on the severity, the page may be marked as a candidate for deletion, in which a discussion will take place on whether or not we should improve it or dump it.

NOTICE: None of this is currently in effect, these are just my plans. These are subject to change before taking effect, and this part may take effect with notice at anytime.
