I am Raidarr. I really hate spam and I know a thing or two about wikis.

needs doing

Title/redirect guide notes:

Avoid/remove titles That Work Like This, prefer lower case including for redirects unless discussing proper nouns
Keep Special:DoubleRedirects in mind when moving pages
Have a non-hyphen version of a title for people who are looking for 'non hyphen version'

Wiki Maintenance

Category:Maintenance?

Psst, hey you. Want to farm easy edits that still help out?

List,

Special:DoubleRedirects (commonly populated when people move pages)
Special:BrokenRedirects
Special:Wanted categories (+ Special:UnusedCategories)

If there are categories, redirects etc especially that are just rather dumb, consider applying {{DeletionRequest}}. If deletions are done, keep in mind things that might link to them (Special:WhatLinksHere).

Categories,

Special pages lists can sometimes take a while to populate or update after edits have been made.

Tips and stuff

Useful things to know about:

PrivacyGuides: The definitive resource directing you to more secure/privacy friendly software and behaviors. One day mr rossmann should sponsor this
wiki.futo.org: big ass guide for setting up your own infrastructure written by the big man himself.

Extensions for this wiki's consideration:

WikiSE...: Improve search ranking of the wiki with literally no extra work.
DiscussionTools: A way to spruce up the talk page/discussion tabs.
Thanks: In case you want to be nice I guess.

Other changes:

Interwiki: have futo: link to wiki.futo.org, and on wiki.futo.org, cat: link to here.
Standardize templates for quoting emails if this does not exist, referring to the correspondence posted at BROTHER

In time it will be good to move away from using special pages, like AllPages or Categories for organization. The wiki's just getting started of course, but good search optimization will become relevant soon if the project is to grow.

More tips and tricks:

Append ?action=purge to the URL if a page is not refreshing correctly.
Append ?uselang=qqx to view interface messages, for admins+ who want to know these quickly.
Learn to source edit sooner than later. It is more reliable than visualeditor.
Find a stressball so you can handle garbage ai captchas that presume to judge if you are a human or not.
