Wiki Maintenance

This is the start of the Wiki Maintenance Group

Some ideas:

Goals

Introduce new members to the process of editing the wiki
- create machine equipment labels
- add authorization details
- navigation principles
- basic syntax
Have a monthly meeting to edit the wiki
Update equipment pages
Help inventory
Category and template creation
Introduce members to Special:SpecialPages

To add a redirect to an existing page (not another redirect) create a new page and add the following text

all redirects should go to a specific page. If a redirect is relevant to another page or equipment make sure that is redirects there.

don't delete redirects unless the following are all true:
- the redirect goes to another redirect or creates a loop or leads to a page or redirect that doesn't exist
- and there are no pages linking to that redirect

when edits are made you should can use the signature button (second button to the right in the edit)--Rtystgeeke (talk) 16:54, 19 November 2016 (CST)

Users who are interested in wiki maintenance can edit their user page and add this text to their User page: [[Category:WikiGnomes]]

develop strategy for determining orphan pages, and linking them.

fix Category:EquipmentPageErrorNoAreahost so that all equipment belongs to an area host or member
