Community:Tasks

These are various tasks for people to perform on Grand Theft Wiki.

This page is not policy, but a collection of suggestions, which has been established through GTW's working practices and policies.

Easy Tasks

These tasks can be done by anyone, and don't require expert editing skills; but are still vital to this wiki!

Helping out with these tasks from time-to-time can help you build up your skills and become a wiki expert!

• Cleaning up pages that require it (see Grand Theft Wiki:Cleanup)
  • Content Needed - New text needs to be written
  • Verification Needed - The facts in this article need to be checked, and perhaps references found as proof
  • Explanation Needed - The text needs to be reworded to be clearer
• Expand Short pages
• Bring Ancient pages up-to-date
• Fixing pages from the Delete category (if possible)
• Adding categories to uncategorised pages
• Adding links if necessary to Dead-end pages

Specialist Tasks

Anyone can perform these tasks, but they are a bit trickier and may need a bit of specialist knowledge, such as how templates and categories work.

• Cleanup Needed - The article needs to be reorganised or tidied up
• Organisation Needed - Extra work is needed around on the wiki to make this work
• Fixing Double Redirects (redirect -> redirect -> page)
• Disambiguation pages (Are they required?)
• Orphaned pages - No pages link to these pages, either mark for deletion or add links from the rest of the wiki
• Adding the correct copyright templates to uncategorised images
• Fix category names, as per Consistency Policy
• Creating Wanted Pages
• Adding text to and categorising non-created categories
• Expand the Wiki's Help section
