WikiPedia:Cleanup Taskforce

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Cleanup Taskforce is a cleanup method for Wikipedia compatible with and complementary to other cleanup pages and categories. It aims to deal with cleanup issues, fact checking, and the growth of Wikipedia in an efficient manner through a network of Wikipedians, and to ensure that any given issue is always on at least one individual's "desk" at any time. If you'd like to join, please see this page.

Operations

The goals of the Cleanup Taskforce are to deal with editorial issues, fact-checking, and Wikipedia formatting in the most efficient way possible. Policies and guidelines should work to support these goals.

Submit a request

To submit an issue to the Cleanup Taskforce, link to a subpage with a unique name describing the issue below. Follow the redlink and create a subpage briefly describing the issue. Then, transclude the subpage onto a Cleanup Taskforce Member's desk.

Here is an example showing how to submit the Hesse-Homburg-Bingenheim article to an individual Taskforce member:

  1. Add a link and the date added [[/Hesse-Homburg-Bingenheim]] (May 19) to the Open issue list below.
  2. Click on the new red link and create a new page with the following contents: 
    ==[[Hesse-Homburg-Bingenheim]]==
The [[Hesse-Homburg-Bingenheim]] article is too short.
We should have more information about this. ~~~~

: ''Added to [[User:EXAMPLE/Desk]]'' ~~~~
  3. Go to a Taskforce participant's desk and add the following line to it:
{{Wikipedia:Cleanup Taskforce/Hesse-Homburg-Bingenheim}}
