Board Thread:General Wiki Discussion/@comment-4969948-20160126214534

Now, I bet all of you are thinking, "ugh, ANOTHER thread? Can't the admins just take a break already!?" Yeah, yeah, I know...but I'm just here to give a reminder on those who have taken cleanup as their career path. This is generally focused on Article Stubs, but this also applies to a few other pages over in insights as well.

-


 * Make sure to check the history of the page before you mark it as a stub, candidate for deletion, etc. I would say a suitable date for when to put it up for deletion is before November 2015. Also, if the person is still active here, please ask them permission before you do this. I've seen a few people complain about their pages being deleted, and such things like that.


 * Try not to get "addicted" to doing them and flood Candidates For Deletion with over 9000 pages, lol. I myself fell victim to this a little bit, so it's k you aren't alone :). The others have reminded you of this already, but as it stands right now, that category is actually clear. I'm not saying "guys noooo don't do it ever ever ever no no no," but just know when to stop.


 * This is taken from what Toon and Sci have said earlier, but not all stubs have to be marked for deletion. Yes, I know, "ew labor ewwwww," but it requires some more work to expand them, but that's what it'll have to take.


 * As for pages requiring further categorization, please see Ulti's thread about what to do with those. Also, the A to Z category is not an absolute necessity. As it was stated not too long ago, it's rather redundant and it doesn't need to be applied to every single page on this wiki, lol. Just reminding you guys of that.

That is all! Thanks, guys! :D
