Revision as of 22:08, 21 April 2015
A more comprehensive version of the "items needing attention" section on Entryway. Listed here because I might not have time to do any of them like ever. :> Some projects may overlap, e.g. an article with no inbound links is probably also uncategorized and in the cleanup or stub list.
Whenever you examine a large number of pages, you will see some that do not belong on the wiki. Don't be shy about nominating a few for deletion. If we want to keep vanity editing, spam, and plagiarism under control, we all have to help.
