===Correct our mistakes!===

As with any Wiki project, '''reviewing the pages of others is another great help that won't take up too much of your time''' - checking for grammatical and formatting issues (check the [[Consumer Action Taskforce:Style guide|Style guide]]), ensuring that people are sourcing things properly, adding relevant information, and so on are all essential to the integrity of the Wiki.

Another valuable way you can contribute other that correcting mistakes is alerting others of their existance in case you are now able to make the corrections yourself. USe the templates in the [[Category:Inline_cleanup_templates| inline cleanup templates]] category to mark spots you spot that need attention.

* <code>Citation needed</code> - Use this template when an uncited claim is made in an article. See the [[Template:Citation needed|temlplate page]] for infomation on usage.

* <code>Clarify</code> - Use this template when a claim or statement is unclear and need rephreasing or more information to be useful. See the [[Template:Clarify|template page]] for infomation on usage.

* <code>Disputed</code> - Use this template when sources with conflicting conclusions exist for a claim made. See the [[Template:DisputedInline|template page]] for infomation on usage.

*<code>UpdateNeeded</code> - Use this template to indicate a portion of an article is need of an update. See the [[Template:UpdateNeeded|template page]] for infomation on usage.

===Use templates to mark articles===

While the [https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/Special:ListUsers?username=&group=sysop&wpsubmit=&wpFormIdentifier=mw-listusers-form&limit=1000 wiki moderators] try to go at least mark articles that are deficient in some way or are irrelevant things can slip through the cracks.

You can use the [[Template:DeletionRequest| deletion request template]] to direct attention to a page you thing does not fullfill the [[Consumer Action Taskforce:Inclusion guidelines| inclusion guidelines]] ordoes not align with our [[Project:About|mission statement]]. Be sure to provide a reason you think this deletion is warranted in the template. Also if you want to be sure moderators are alerted (eg in case of spam) you can use the discussion pages to mention a moderator or use the discussion pages on their profile (see [[Consumer Action Taskforce:Talk page guidelines| talk page guidelines]] for more information).

Use the [[Template:MergeRequest| merge request template]] in case you spot a duplicate of a page that already exists or has little more information than another article in the wiki. Once again, be sure to provide your reasoning and the page(s) you feel need to be merged in the template.

The pages with deletion and merge requests are put in specific categories that are periodically checked by moderators in order to make sure the movement of pages and renaming of other is handled properly.
