Real World Perspective.

Looking for something to do to improve the DJBWiki, but can't think of anything? Looking for a few small, quick improvements to make while you plan your next big project? Here are some suggestions.

Add links

Some articles don't have any links! How preposterous! A list of these articles is here.

Some articles aren't linked from any other article on this Wiki! How ridiculous! A list of these articles is here.

Add images

Some articles would benefit greatly with the addition of one or more images. You can find articles that have been requested to be enhanced with an image here. To add an image to an article you must first upload the image, also including the image's category and fairuse tag. Here is the list of uploaded files and here the gallery of the most recent files. If the article has an image request tag, don't forget to remove it once you add the image.

Create a wanted page

Some topics are referenced by a great many pages, but haven't had an article created about them yet. You can find a list of these heavily-referenced topics, sorted by how many references they have, here.

Correct spelling

Not everyone spells correctly. Bad spelling reflects poorly on the professionalism of DJBWiki. If you would like to help in this area of expertise, please contact the Wiki Tribune for a list of articles to review.

Fix double redirects

Sometimes, an article redirects to another article, which in turn redirects to yet another article. When this happens, instead of smoothly being redirected, a user must instead manually click through to the third page. In order to prevent this, we try to eliminate double redirects, pointing all redirects at their final destination. You can find a list of double redirects here.

Categorize a page

Categories assist in easy navigation by grouping similar topics together. You can find a list of articles in need of categorization here.
