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 [[Pikipedia:Current projects|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!

Details

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!
