This is the central place for resources that help keep the wiki well-organized.
Making the wiki well-organized/good on a global scale
-
Recent Changes — Shows all changes in the wiki. Of course, you've got to know about Recent Changes.
-
Interwiki Recent Changes — Shows all changes on any wikis you're watching (logged-accounts). This is the grand-daddy of them all.
-
Lame Wiki Pages — Lists pages identified by users as needing help. Some are stubs, some are confusing, and some are just unsalvagably lame.
Keeping the wiki well-linked
-
Wanted Pages — Shows all links that aren't yet pages.
-
Orphaned Pages — Pages that are not linked to from anywhere.
-
Outgoing Links — Ranks all pages based on the number of links on them. A page with 0 links is a dead end!
-
Stub Pages List — Lists pages in need of content.
Page Flags
These flags don't exist here yet. Should we add them? - YES!!
Some pages are flagged with the [[Include()]] macro to mark them as:
-
[[Include(Seed)]] to marks the page as a Seed with a link to edit the page.
-
[[Include(PhotoRequest)]] to marks the page as a photo request
-
[[Include(IntegrateComments)]] to mark the page as needed cleanup/comment integration
-
[[Include(FactCheck)]] to mark the page as needing a fact checked, can be used right near the statement
-
[[Include(Departed Business)]] to mark departed businesses
Misc metrics
-
Page Size — Shows list of pages ranked by size. Gives indication of how much content there is, but not how good that content is — beware of thread mode pages.
-
All Pages — Master list of all pages in the wiki.
Making individual pages better organized
If you have a lot of headings (which you should — they're great for breaking up big pages!), [[TableOfContents]] will generate a table of contents for the page based on the headings in the page (play with it).
So that means, given the current headers on this page, if I do [[TableOfContents]], I get:
and those are links to those sections in the text. Nifty!
