These are various tasks for people to perform on Grand Theft Wiki.

This page is not policy, but a collection of suggestions, which has been established through GTW's working practices and policies.

These tasks can be done by anyone, and don't require expert editing skills; but are still vital to this wiki!

Helping out with these tasks from time-to-time can help you build up your skills and become a wiki expert!

Cleaning up pages that require it (see Grand Theft Wiki:Cleanup)
- Content Needed - New text needs to be written
- Verification Needed - The facts in this article need to be checked, and perhaps references found as proof
- Explanation Needed - The text needs to be reworded to be clearer
Expand Short pages
Bring Ancient pages up-to-date
Fixing pages from the Delete category (if possible)
Adding categories to uncategorised pages
Adding links if necessary to Dead-end pages

Anyone can perform these tasks, but they are a bit trickier and may need a bit of specialist knowledge, such as how templates and categories work.

Cleanup Needed - The article needs to be reorganised or tidied up
Organisation Needed - Extra work is needed around on the wiki to make this work
Fixing Double Redirects (redirect -> redirect -> page)
Disambiguation pages (Are they required?)
Orphaned pages - No pages link to these pages, either mark for deletion or add links from the rest of the wiki
Adding the correct copyright templates to uncategorised images
Fix category names, as per Consistency Policy
Creating Wanted Pages
Adding text to and categorising non-created categories
Expand the Wiki's Help section
