Yup, but I want to make myself a list that I can check through and plan properly before submitting anything for deletion. I also want to be able to mark things for my own list, while still being able to check with the original writers/teams to see if pages are still required.

@Alexmann, Lwk:Another way to keep track of pages that need attention for the WikiCleanup is just to list them on a page, either personal or on the project page. That would reduce confusion for readers not aware of the cleanup.

I've started a discussion about removing duplicate clean up and delete categories at Template_talk:Cleanup.Jon (talk) 14:44, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Project WikiCleanup

I agree that the Wiki is out of date and lacking information. I would like to help. Maybe it would be good to meetup and discuss ideas? I'm going to edit the project page to make it more general. Some of my thoughts to follow. Jon (talk) 14:44, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

• There will always be out of date information on the wiki, so I would say it could be a 'more useful resource' rather than 'counted on'.

• Some pages that feature old tools or groups can be tagged with Template:Historical unlocked rather than deleted, so there is a record of how the space has developed.

• Do we need to proliferate namespaces such as Project: Team: About: etc. The namespaces are partly to do with how the MediaWiki software handles pages - for example template: and category: are handled in specific ways. Jon (talk) 15:22, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
