Things to do

Useful activities Help expand some article stubs. Locate and mark pages that need expanding as article stubs. Create links to some orphaned pages. Upload and add some images! Visit Special:Upload. Add them to a category too, like [[Category:Images]]. Write a new article that's on the the wanted list! Fix any double redirects by redirecting the first page to the third page. Check for broken redirects and either mark them for deletion or find a more appropriate target. Consider splitting up very long pages into different pages or subpages. Create some links on dead end pages. Verify some Questionable information

General wiki tips

• Symptom: Changes in one section of the wiki not showing up in another section of the wiki.

As most of the time this is browser cache issue, the first thing to try is to bypass the browser cache.

This is in general done by hitting, Windows:CTRL+F5, Mac/Apple:Apple+R, Linux:F5. Ref:refreshyourcache

If its not a browser cache issue (example: link) your next option is to force a wiki cache update.

A wiki cache update on a specific page is done by opening that page in edit mode and just saving it without any changes.

• Cumbersome large wiki-table editing:

bitbucket.org/JanKanis/wiki2csv might be a option. Its a little python(v2) wiki2csv and csv2wiki converter. Usable in conjunction with any spreadsheet that handles csv files.

• Small, hard to read wiki formula:

Clicking on the formula will popup a bigger version of it. (EditMode: having a leading empty line before the math line will display the formula a bit larger.)
