Pikipedia:Maintenance: Difference between revisions
(Undo: This is a specific image replacement project, while the rest of the things on this page are more general. In addition, just because the images are low-quality doesn't mean they have to be replaced; it's not an especially important project and should only be done whenever someone has the resources to do it and feels the need for it to be done. (The linked guide also doesn't have very good image quality because of the way it was scanned, so it shouldn't be used for this regardless.)) Tag: Undo |

- This article is about maintenance duties for the wiki. For other tasks, see Pikipedia:Helping out.
The wiki has some maintenance tasks that will never be complete. They are just tasks that constantly show up. Examples include minor tasks that improve an article, cleaning up poor documentation, or fixing page problems. If you don't want to undertake a massive project, but still want to help out the wiki, this is a great place to get ideas from. Pick a task, select an article, and start contributing!
If a task has further details, you can click its name to go to the section on this page that elaborates on what to do.

Maintain Pikmin Bloom information
Uniquely among games in the Pikmin series, Pikmin Bloom has details of its features frequently change due to software updates and server-side changes. Keeping the wiki up-to-date with all these changes is a constant maintenance task. The Pikipedia:Pikmin Bloom update procedure page contains guides on how to record the different types of changes in this game.
Find articles and sections that need improving
While reading, you may find an article, or a section of an article, that desperately needs to be improved. You can edit it and improve it yourself, or leave a note for future editors to clean it up. For this, place one of the maintenance templates.
Find articles that don't follow guidelines
You can check articles against our policies and guidelines (the Pikan tool can help), and if you spot something wrong, like a game name that's not italicized, go right ahead and fix it! Alternatively, you can leave a maintenance template.
Find articles and files that are missing categories
Some articles and files are not under the categories they should be in. If you find one, please categorize it. Remember to use the deepest category possible! (Example: Categorize an image of an Orange Bulborb in Category:Orange Bulborb images instead of Category:Enemy images.)
Find low quality images
If you spot any image that's particularly low quality, upload a replacement, or add the {{image}} template to it.
Find poor image descriptions
For any images you see that have an unhelpful or missing descriptions, please edit them and improve them!
