Wookieepedia:Things to do
For a version of this page that updates automatically, check out Wookieepedia:Maintenance. Do you desire to contribute to the improvement of Wookieepedia, but lack inspiration? Are you seeking minor, rapid enhancements to implement while planning your next significant endeavor? Presented below are some suggestions for you.
Incorporate images
Certain articles would greatly benefit from the addition of one or more visual aids. Articles that have requests for image enhancements can be located here. To include an image in an article, you must first upload it, ensuring you provide the image's origin and licensing details. The catalog of uploaded files is available here, and the gallery showcasing the most recently uploaded files can be found here. A picture tutorial is available here which guides you on how to insert and modify an image within an article. If the article contains an image request tag, remember to remove it after adding the image.
Consolidate articles requiring merging
Occasionally, two contributors independently conceive of articles on the same subject but create them under different titles. Upon discovery, these articles are tagged for merging, with the expectation that someone will integrate them into a unified, coherent article. Articles awaiting merging can be found here. Upon completion of the merge, remember to remove the merge tags!
Provide sources for articles lacking them
Numerous articles were initially created without proper source citations. Given that anyone is able to create content on Wookieepedia, providing sources is crucial for distinguishing between canon and fanon material. Articles that are missing sources can be located here, while articles needing improved citation can be found here.
Develop redlinks within articles
Many articles make reference to topics that have yet to be covered on Wookieepedia, resulting in redlinks. Some articles reference a large number of these topics; these articles are less valuable to our users, as much of the related information they may wish to find is unavailable. Creating new articles to address the gaps in these articles with numerous redlinks is beneficial; such articles can be found here. Once the majority of the links have been addressed, remember to remove the redlink tag from the original article.
Generate a wanted page
Certain topics are referenced by a significant number of pages, yet lack dedicated articles. A list of these frequently referenced topics, organized by the number of references, is available here.
Rectify spelling
Note: This functionality is currently unavailable. Not all individuals possess perfect spelling skills. Incorrect spelling reflects negatively on Wookieepedia's credibility. A list of commonly misspelled words can be found here.
An additional resource to aid users interested in correcting widespread spelling errors is located here, where users post frequently encountered typos for correction.
Correct double redirects
On occasion, an article redirects to another article, which subsequently redirects to yet another article. In such instances, instead of a seamless redirection, users are required to manually navigate to the third page. To prevent this, we aim to eliminate double redirects by directing all redirects to their final destination. A list of double redirects can be found here.
Assign a category to a page
Categories facilitate effortless navigation by grouping related topics together. A list of articles awaiting categorization can be found here.
Augment a stub
Certain articles exist as mere placeholders, awaiting an enthusiastic Wookieepedian like yourself to expand upon them. A list of these "stubs" can be found here. Note that short pages that are already complete should not be categorized as stubs. Also, see Category:Articles to be expanded.
