== 5 maintenance tasks that need to be done - some of which could be automated ==

JoeyJ, I know you like to do wiki maintenance tasks. I started a maintenance task, but I don't have the time to do it all myself.  

Some editors like to do wiki maintenance tasks. I started on two of these maintenance task, but I don't have the time to do it all myself.  

There are 4 maintenance task that need to be done and I started on two of them:  

There are 5 maintenance task that need to be done:  

'''1.''' Remove about 8% of the wiki pages which are ex-editors' user pages and user talk pages that have not edited in the last 3 years.  

'''1.''' De-orphan pages which have no category tags or links to them from other pages.

 

'''2.''' Remove about 8% of the wiki pages which are ex-editors' user pages and user talk pages who have not edited in the last 3 years.''' And this task could probably be automated, but it could be done manually too.'''

There is a list of editors/users here: http://conservapedia.com/Special:ListUsers

::You can also find the pages that need to be deleted by looking at the pages that have these templates on them and then see if the users have been active in the last 3 years: http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere&target=Template%3AUseful+links and http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere&target=Template%3AWelcome

'''2.''' Delete the templates that are never being used.  

'''3.''' Delete the templates that are never being used.

 

'''4.''' Build up the 2 sentence stub articles so they have at least 500 words.  Using the random page search function, I estimate the stub articles are at least 30-40% of the wiki articles.  

'''3.''' De-orphan pages which have no category tags or links to them from other pages.  

'''5.''' Within 10 years, about 50% of links become broken links. Xenu's Link Sleuth can crawl your website and find these dead links plus make a report: http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html

I did this link maintenance already for the atheism, evolution and homosexuality articles.

I think these 5 maintenance tasks being done would enhance the user experience for the readers plus these are maintenance tasks that need to be done. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 12:37, 20 June 2014 (EDT)

I mentioned Xenu's Link Sleuth above in order to help automate spotting the dead links. I think that deleting the the inactive editors who have not edited for 3 years could be automated as well. Maybe using something like [[User:EdBot]]. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 13:36, 20 June 2014 (EDT)
