As well as editing, many people at Wikipedia are involved in '''maintenance tasks'''. Most of these tasks can be done by any user. For other useful directories, see the navigation bar above.

Maintenance work is a vital part of keeping Wikipedia running optimally. Be careful to avoid creating more maintenance work through [[m:instruction creep|instruction creep]]. Organize when you can, but always keep the big picture in sight: we are here to create an encyclopedia. If you wish to contribute to Wikipedia in ways other than maintenance, please see [[Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia]]. Tasks of the most pressing importance can be found at [[:Category:Wikipedia backlog|Wikipedia:Backlog]].

{{Resources for collaboration}}
==Things to watch==
*[[Wikipedia:Cleanup]] - Articles needing cleanup
*[[Wikipedia:Database reports]] – Report for various maintenance tasks
*[[Wikipedia:As of]] – Information that may be out of date
*[[Special:Recentchanges]] – Patrol for vandals and other bad edits
*[[Special:Newpages|New pages]] – Patrol for vandals and redundancy with existing articles
*[[Wikipedia:List of controversial issues]] – A simple list of pages on controversial subjects, not a place to argue about them. Patrol for vandals, POV pushers, and disputes in progress
*[[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval]] and [[Wikipedia:Bot requests]] – to ask for permission to run a bot

==Reports==
<div style="float:left; margin-left:-20px; margin-right:12px;">{{specialpageslist}}</div>
Special pages are updated either automatically or on request by the developers.

Offline reports are generated from an [[Wikipedia:Database download|offline copy of the Wikipedia database]].  These reports are always a bit out of date and should not be considered authoritative, but may provide useful guidance as to which articles may benefit from attention in particular areas.  They need people with enough hard drive space and expertise to update them occasionally.  Many of these reports cannot be updated in the same way that they were in the past, due to changes in the format of the database downloads.  Regular editors are also needed to prune already-fixed listings.

Currently updated reports are listed on [[Template:Active Wiki Fixup Projects]] (displayed to the right) and are most in need of editors to fix individual pages that are listed on them.

==Deletion==
Non-admins can help keep deletion pages clean by resolving discussions.  [[Wikipedia:Administrators|Administrators]] are needed to actually delete pages.  Anyone can nominate pages for deletion.  See:

* [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion]] and [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion]] - Instructions at [[Wikipedia:Deletion process]]
* [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion]]
* [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion]]
* [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion]]
* [[Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion]]
* [[Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion]]
* [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion]]
{{deletiontools}}
===Possible copyright violations===
[[Wikipedia:Copyright problems]] lists articles which will be deleted if it can not be proven that we have permission to use them under the terms of the GFDL. For pages listed there, you could replace the infringing article's text with new (re-written) content of your own. This '''must''' be done on a '''temp page''', so that the original "copyvio version" may be deleted by a [[Wikipedia:administrator|sysop]]. Temp versions should be written at a page like: <nowiki>[[Talk:PAGE NAME/temp]]</nowiki>. If the original turns out not to be a copyvio, these two can be merged. Alternatively, you can write to the copyright owner and check whether they gave permission. You can also ask for permission using the [[wikipedia:boilerplate request for permission|boilerplate request for permission]]. If someone claims to have permission, but this has not been verified, you can send the [[Wikipedia:confirmation of permission|confirmation of permission]] letter to check. If images have been listed, you may want to consider whether these constitute [[fair use]] and write the appropriate disclaimers on the [[Wikipedia:image description page|image description page]]. See [[Wikipedia:Image description page#Fair use rationale]] for guidance on this.

==Maintaining portals==

See [[Wikipedia:Portal]] for a list of existing portals and associated projects and maintainers.

==Foreign language pages==
For pages listed on [[Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English]], the [[Wikipedia:Embassy]] member of the Wikipedia that relates to the language the article is in should be contacted and invited to move the page to their own Wikipedia or to help translate it. There is also a list of translators at [[Wikipedia:translation]]. If you don't know what language the article is in you could use [[Wikipedia:Language recognition chart|Language recognition chart]] and if that fails some [[language recognition]] web site to find out. If a page remains untranslated after two weeks, or if someone who speaks the language it is written in states that it is not worth translating, then article should be moved from [[Wikipedia:pages needing translation|pages needing translation]] to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]]. The boilerplate text on the article should be changed from <nowiki>{{notenglish}} to {{subst:afd}}</nowiki>.

==Welcoming newcomers==
Welcome people using one of the [[Wikipedia:standard user greeting| standard user greetings]] or make up your own. Use <nowiki>{{Opentask}}</nowiki> to leave an automatically updated task list on a new user's page. New users can be found by looking for red talk page links on recent changes or by querying the database. Efforts to co-ordinate the activities of welcomers are being made at [[Wikipedia:Welcoming committee]]. The <nowiki>{{Opentask}}</nowiki> message gives newcomers some ideas of articles to work on. The tasks listed in this template can be changed at [[Template:Opentask]].

==Main page==
The [[Main Page]] needs regular updating. Only sysops can edit the page itself. See [[Wikipedia:Editing the main page]] for links to the relevant templates and further guidance.

==Vandalism==
Anyone can revert vandalism. See [[Wikipedia:revert]] for instructions. If you see any recurrent vandalism, you can list it at [[Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism]]. You can also check other listings on that page and follow them up by seeing if the users listed there have made any further vandalism since the listing. Do this typing the url http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/ followed by the username. Unreverted edits will still have '''(top)''' next to them. Sysops may choose to block recurrent vandals, following a warning on the user's talk page using [[Special:Blockip]], or for unlogged-in users clicking the ''block'' link next to their IP on recent changes.

The pages linked to from the main page often see the most vandalism, so checking those pages via the links on [[Wikipedia:Editing the Main Page|Editing the Main Page]] can be a good place to look if you feel like vandal spotting.

''See also'': [[Wikipedia:How to spot vandalism]]

== Current events==
Not maintenance as such, but [[Portal:Current events]] is a page that needs to be updated daily. Please read [[Wikipedia:How the Current events page works]] before working on this.

==Request and maintenance queues==

{{opentasks}}

For each queue listed below, editors are needed to:
* Rotate individual articles and projects onto [[Template:Opentasks]] (shown above) as they are fixed or become stale.
* Publicize neglected lists or consolidate them with active pages
* Remove articles from the listings as they are fixed.
* Actually fix the individual articles that are listed.

Instructions are given on each page.

* [[Wikipedia:Requested articles]]
* [[Wikipedia:Cleanup]]
* [[Wikipedia:Pages needing attention]] - Cleanup, expansion, etc. sorted by topic.  Usually most in need of attention from someone familiar with the subject.  The listings here are in need of a lot of updating and consolidation with overlapping lists.
* [[:Category:Articles that need to be wikified]]
* [[Wikipedia:Duplicate articles]] and [[:Category:Articles to be merged]]
* [[Wikipedia:Requests for expansion]] - Articles longer than stubs, but which are still missing substantial material
* [[Wikipedia:Requests for summaries]] - No new requests are being taken, but old ones need to be filled.  This page is not well-publicized.
* Articles to be moved off-site: [[Wikipedia:Transwiki log]] ...

==Disputes==

There are many pages in [[:Category:Wikipedia dispute resolution]] which could use help in resolving various kinds of disputes.  Some disputes are easy to resolve - someone needs to propose or implement a compromise (check out the appropriate talk page), or the dispute is over and someone just needs to declare the problem solved.  Many disputes between parties can be resolved after uninvolved strangers wander in, read the article in question and the debate so far, and just give common-sense opinions.  In rare cases, delicate negotiating skills are needed to bring warring parties to a satisfactory agreement, or administrative powers are needed to ban vandals or uncooperative editors.

The main page to list disputes is [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment]].  This is a static listing, and your help is needed to remove old requests, in addition to commenting on current requests.

There are lists of articles in dispute in:
* [[:Category:Accuracy disputes]]
* [[:Category:NPOV disputes]]

==Initial categorization efforts==
* [[Wikipedia:Auto-categorization]] is a collaboration page for articles that need to be put in an appropriate category.  Articles are automatically pre-sorted to help speed the process.
* [[Special:Uncategorizedpages]] shows all articles that need to be categorized.
* [[Special:UncategorizedCategories]] shows categories that need to be categorized.

''See also: [[Wikipedia:Categorization projects (current)]]''

==Images with missing articles==
Several pages on the web offer their [[public domain]] images in a long list. To avoid checking these lists again and again for matching Wikipedia articles, [[Wikipedia:Images with missing articles]] has a list of specific images with missing articles. If you see that one of these articles exists, please add the image from the external link, and remove it from the list.

==Peer review==
[[Wikipedia:Peer review]] is designed to solicit comments on articles that have had major work by a single author, or which are going to be submitted to [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates]].  Articles that don't successfully become featured are often referred back to this step.

Editors are needed to:
* Comment on articles listed
* Remove old requests (instructions are on the page itself)

==Make a donation==
Wikipedia is in constant need of more server capacity, bandwidth and other technical services to keep it running and keep it fast enough to be useful. Financial contributions to our non-profit parent, the [[Wikimedia Foundation]], are greatly appreciated. Please see http://wikimediafoundation.org/fundraising

==Publicize Wikipedia==
See [[:Category:Wikipedia publicity]].

==Help other users==
Even new users can help answer factual questions on the [[Wikipedia:Reference desk]], which serves the same purpose as a [[reference desk]] you might find in your local library. (You might also think of it as the Wikipedia version of [[Yahoo Answers]] or [[Live QnA|Windows Live QnA]].) You do not have to be an expert on Wikipedia because:
* You can help people find answers in existing Wikipedia articles.
* If you know the answer to a question not answered by Wikipedia, you can assist the questioner and at the same time, add that information to Wikipedia for the benefit of future readers.
* If you do not know the answer to an interesting question, you can research it in non-Wikipedia sources, and then improve Wikipedia for the benefit of the questioner and future readers.

If you already have some experience, your assistance in one of the many [[:Category:Wikipedia help forums|Wikipedia help forums]], including [[Wikipedia:Help desk]], would be a valuable contribution. You can help Wikipedia grow by helping other people share what they know.

==Programmers wanted==
Programming skills are especially valuable, to help write useful standalone scripts, or to improve the software that runs Wikipedia.
* [[Wikipedia:Bot requests]]
* [[mediazilla:|Reporting software bugs]]
* [[meta:Toolserver/Reports|Toolserver Reports]]
* [[meta:Summer of Code 2006|Summer of Code 2006]]
* [[meta:Summer of Code 2007|Summer of Code 2007]]
