Joomla Documentation Wiki Maintenance
Maintaining a wiki and keeping it organised takes a lot of continuous work on the part of administrators, editors and users. There are always tasks needing attention. Here's a range of areas you can help with improving:
Content needing maintenance
- Broken Redirects - Pages redirecting to non-existent pages
- Orphaned Pages - The following pages are not linked from or transcluded into other pages.
- Needs Completion - Articles tagged as needing completion.
- Needs Review - Articles tagged as needing review.
- Needs image updating - Articles identified as needing images updated, either for major Joomla versions (so image is not current) or minor Joomla versions (so feature has changed, so image is no longer up to date).
- Candidates for Deletion - Pages marked for deletion
- Pages with syntax highlighting errors - Articles with source tags that are missing a language value eg lang="xml"
- Pages with reference errors - errors with references on the page
- Pages with reference errors - Pages that may have broken links due to images or other files being removed. Typically error appears as a red link on a translated page.
- Articles actively undergoing a major edit - Pages marked as In Use
- Articles under construction - Pages marked as Under Construction
- Article split requests - Pages marked for splitting
- Articles merge requests - Pages marked for merging
