− | *candidates for deletion | + | |
− | *linking orphans | + | ===finding candidates for deletion=== |
− | *deleting redirects | + | Candidates for deletion are pages that haven't been updated in a long time, are incomplete, abandoned. A question you may ask yourself: is the deletion improving clarity or wiki structure? |
− | *locking pages | + | * Some equipment pages may be candidates for deletion, but if there is valuable information in them consider making them historical pages. |
− | *undeleting | + | * If there is some information that would be useful or historical in a page consider moving that content to a more appropriate page or making the page historical. |
| + | * Do not delete pages in user namespaces. |
| + | |
| + | ===linking orphans=== |
| + | ===add redirects=== |
| + | * create redirects to single tool pages based on terms you would search to find that tool. |
| + | ** If there is more than one tool redirect to a disambiguation page or a subsection that lists all those tools. |
| + | To add a redirect to an existing page (not another redirect) create a new page and add the following text |
| + | *<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[the page you'd like to redirect to]]</nowiki> |
| + | |
| + | ===change incorrect redirects=== |
| + | * all redirects should go to a specific page. If a redirect is relevant to another page or equipment make sure that is redirects there. |
| + | |
| + | ===deleting redirects=== |
| + | *do no delete redirects in user namespaces |
| + | *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 |
| + | |
| + | ===locking pages=== |
| + | ===undeleting pages=== |
| + | ===commenting edits=== |
| + | * when edits are made you should can use the signature button (second button to the right in the edit)--[[User:Rtystgeeke|Rtystgeeke]] ([[User talk:Rtystgeeke|talk]]) 16:54, 19 November 2016 (CST) |
| + | * you can also type <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> characters together to insert a timestamped signature when typing [[User:Skm|Skm]] ([[User talk:Skm|talk]]) 14:40, 3 December 2016 (CST) |
| + | |
| + | ===creating your own user page=== |
| + | *Log into the wiki |
| + | *Typing wiki.pumpingstationone.org/user:your_user_name into your browser |
| + | *Click the create button in the upper right corner |
| + | *Edit your page with your info, tools you know, things you want to learn, and any applicable categories |
| + | *Users who are interested in wiki maintenance can edit their user page and add this text to their User page: <nowiki>[[Category:WikiGnomes]]</nowiki> |
| + | *If you want to be fancy you can create a redirect by making a new page (with your name or nickname) as the page title and then type REDIRECT#[[User:(your user name)]] |

| + | ==Tasks to do== |
| + | *develop strategy for determining orphan pages, and linking them. Lots of pages are categorized but not linked (any way to differentiate?) |
| + | *Talk to Dave about including categories and special pages bar, or coming up with a better search in general |
| + | *de-duplicating information |
| + | *who can edit the wiki infrastructure? Toba, Hef, Daniel P, Doorman Dave |
| + | *who wants to get access to edit the infrastructure? Ron O |
| + | *remove pages for deletion |
| + | *orphaned pages should exclude pages that are linked via categories |
| + | *figure out if [[Special:Wantedcategories]] that do not have category: pages should be removed from the linking pages or created |
| + | *fix [[:Category:EquipmentPageErrorNoAreahost]] so that all equipment belongs to an area host or member |
| + | *add [[:Category:Retired_Equipment]] Equipment to equipment that has wiki pages but is deprecated for some reason |
| + | **I'd like to create a new template very similar to the candidates marked for deletion that has a reason or link to a new machine |
| + | *add [[:Template:NeedsUpdate]] to pages with old, incorrect, or missing information |
| + | *roll duplicated information into less pages |
| + | |
| + | ==Ideas for improvement== |
| + | *email digest to google groups/area host a list of broken tools automatically based on broken tool list |
| + | *correlate member pages to list of current members, tag their user page as such |
| + | |
| + | ==Wiki Overhal== |
| + | [[User:Carlfk/meeting_notes]] |
| + | |
| + | * Rename wiki to not have a colon in <code><nowiki>{{SITENAME}}</nowiki></code> |
