This is a page dedicated to the Wiki Cleanup Project 2014-15, by Cora, Anne, and Tobias. Join us in our efforts! There is a lot of work to be done.

Principle cleanup ideas

Hide outdated information, while making current information more accessible. We plan on moving old and outdated pages to a new Namespace "Archive". From these old trip pages, we are only interested in the trip descriptions, but not old signup sheets and so forth. Thus, a great deal of work will consist of extracting generic trip descriptions that are of timeless interest from old trip pages. These trip descriptions will then end up as new pages in the Main namespace of this Wiki.

At the same time, a lot of the pages that are current and useful, do not have incoming links. We plan on increasing intra-wiki links to make these pages more accessible.

List of important, unlinked pages

These are pages that deserve more attention (i.e. links from other pages), since they are up-to-date, informative and highly relevant for the club. Please do not include any pages that already have many incoming links or links from prominent pages like the Main Page.

Proposed :Category structure

Our current Categories can be seen on Special:Categories. Note that many categories exist in isolation, and not in a complete hierarchy (or ontology). For example, Category:Trip Ideas is a quite important Category, but not a subcategory of some larger category and not linked from any other page.

Category:Club probably is very similar to Category:Content, so that it may be deleted.
