To-Dos

The Wiki has Over 1000 short pages articles, which is about 70%, a little over 2/3, of the articles on this wiki. In order to qualify for a spotlight, there needs to be less than 1/5 (20% or less) of short pages.

Ways to lengthen some articles:

• Merge all interactive objects of Cheese Dreams into one article.
• Combine 2004 and 2005 into a page called 2004-2005. The 2004 and 2005 pages can redirect to this page so no red links will be created in the process.
• Delete disambiguations with only two items in them (ie. Mirrors) or find other items of the same name to go on the disambiguation page.
• Put all block articles (ie. 1x3, 2x2) from Numbskull into one article entitled Blocks (Numbskull). This change may shorten Template:Numbskull and Template:Navigation Box may need to be used instead, but it will add more length to the articles, not changing the content too much.
• Combine all powerups from Nebula into one page called Power Ups (Nebula) and another for Pickups (Nebula). They could also all be combined into one page "Pickups".
• Make articles for general reoccuring objects in games, like spikes. Checkpoints and finish lines (ie. Finish Line (Fat Cat), Home, etc.) as they all serve a similar purpose no matter which game they are in.
• Materials from Ice Breaker: The Gathering need to be placed into one article.

Other Maintenance Tasks

Useful activities Help expand some article stubs. Locate and mark pages that need expanding as article stubs. Create links to some orphaned pages. Upload and add some images! Visit Special:Upload. Add them to a category too, like [[Category:Images]]. Write a new article that's on the the wanted list! Fix any double redirects by redirecting the first page to the third page. Check for broken redirects and either mark them for deletion or find a more appropriate target. Consider splitting up very long pages into different pages or subpages. Create some links on dead end pages. Add more...
