{{Under construction|page|SFC Wiki Draft Icon.png}}
This page lists various tasks that need doing at wiki.playstarfleet.com.  If you want to get involved, but don't know where to start, then look down this list and see if anything takes your fancy.

== On-going tasks ==

These are the tasks that will never be 'complete',  such as on-going maintenance work or clean-up, or which are part of on-going projects that will take a significant period of time to complete.

=== For administrators ===

The following tasks can only be carried out by [[Project:Administrators|admins]].

* '''[[:Category:Candidates for deletion|Candidates for deletion]]'''<br>This category should normally be empty. Any articles in this category are deletion requests and should be checked out.  If the [[Project:Deletion|criteria]] have been met then the article should ultimately be deleted, but only once a suitable time has passed.
* '''[[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion|Candidates for speedy deletion]]'''<br>This category should normally be empty. Any articles in this category are (supposedly) non-contentious deletion requests and in most cases should be deleted.  Check [[Project:Deletion]] for more info.
* '''[[:Category:Administrator tasks|Administrator tasks]]'''<br />This category shows all categories that are administrator tasks.

=== For any user ===

The following tasks can be carried out by all users.

* '''[[Special:Log/upload|Check recent uploads]]'''<br>All uploads should be tagged with an appropriate [[:Category:License templates|license]], or marked for deletion (as appropriate). If you are unsure about which license should be applied, use the tag <code><nowiki>{{unknown}}</nowiki></code> and ask the uploader to fill in the correct details via their talk page.
* '''[[Special:DoubleRedirects|Fix double redirects]]'''<br>Double redirects are when one page redirects to another which is itself a redirect.  This should be fixed by modifying the original page to redirect to the final destination.
* '''Add categories to any uncategorised [[Special:Uncategorizedpages|pages]], [[Special:Uncategorizedimages|images]] and [[Special:Uncategorizedcategories|categories]]'''<br>You will need to familiarise yourself with our [[Project:Categories|categorisation scheme]] first.  Note that the two special categories, [[:Category:Top level]] and [[:Category:Languages]] should ''not'' be categorised.
* '''[[Special:Recentchanges|Recent changes patrol]]'''<br>Check through the list of recent changes (particularly [[Special:Newpages|new pages]] and edits from anonymous users) to catch vandalism/spam.  If existing pages are vandalised then the changes should be reverted.  If new junk pages are created, they should be marked for deletion.
* '''[[Special:Wantedcategories|Create missing category pages]]'''<br>Check the list of missing categories, and check whether the articles in the category are in the right place.  If not, update the category links in the article(s) in question.  If they are, then add a category page, ensuring that you categorise it so it shows up in the right place in the tree.  For non-English categories, check that the English version exists, and then copy the language template/categorisation from one of the non-English versions changing language codes where appropriate.  If an English version of the category does not exist, then the articles are mis-categorised.
* '''Answer [[Project:Support desk|support requests]]'''.

== Task requests ==

If there are any general tasks that need doing but which you either don't have the time, skill or user-rights to perform then please list your request under the appropriate section here, and sign it with your name and date.  For the time being, do not remove completed tasks, but strike them out using <nowiki><s></s></nowiki>.
