[edit]Picture Sizing
In order that you picture appears without some of it scrolling off to the right, it is suggested you limit the picture size to 755px. I.E. if you pix is large then use this format
[[Image:Test.jpg||750PX|]] to ensure its all on screen
[edit]Modify all image links
to use the new syntax. They have been automatically updated to use Image:Filename tags but with no parameters (apart from those for which parameters were already specified). Most should be set to thumbnails with the caption added to the Image tag.
[edit]Fix broken links
(see Special:Whatlinkshere) As of this date is totally clear --Keith 13:32, 9 October 2007
[edit]Consider changing the "User Friendly Index" to categories
This will be a large change, as it affects some 900+ pages at the moment!!! See Talk:A_User_Friendly_Index for further discussion Keith 20:32, 1 March 2007 AUFI is now being removed as a separate line from all file, as is now in the navigaton bar --Keith (talk) 2008-1-24T09:10:43
[edit]Categorise all existing pages
Large on going project!!
[edit]Insert appropriate image copyright tags
for all existing images - Large on going project!!
[edit]Update all tables
to use the new syntax
Large on going project!! - old table style works with some problems - new tables better
[edit]Add more redirect pages
to make it easier for misspelt/miscapitalised links to end up at the right target as required
[edit]Move existing pages
to new titles where appropriate, particularly where the new software allows the page title to be correctly capitalised
As with Tan y Bwlch, Hafod y Llyn - underway
[edit]Produce some templates to tag pages for speedy deletion
or to start a discussion on whether or not the page should be deleted
Category:Candidates for fast deletion - This category contains pages tagged with fast deletion templates. Before fast deleting a page, take the time to ensure that it meets the criteria for deletion, check the links, the history and for images the file links. If there is any doubt at all, switch the article to the proposed deletion process that allows time for others to review the proposal.
Category:Contested candidates for fast deletion - This is a subset of Category:Candidates for fast deletion, consisting solely of those pages on which :{{hangon}} has been inserted in response to the page being listed for fast deletion. The purpose of this page is not to fundamentally change the fast deletion process, but simply to help prevent a situation where a page is deleted while someone is in the middle of writing an explanation of why they believe this action should not be taken.
Category:Deletion proposed - This category contains articles which have been proposed for deletion. To tag an article for proposed deletion use: :{{subst:deletion proposed| reason for deletion}}
Previously used
Category:Deletion Required - when placing this on a file for definite deletion, please go in and add at the very top the reason for deletion (since you have to edit file to insert the category!!). This ooption should only be used for files that may have been created in error, or are duplicate of an existing file. Final call on this is down to the administrators
NB. These actions do not actually delete the file. File deletion is under the exclsive control of the administrators. --Keith 22:22, 30 June 2007 Amended --Keith (talk) 2008-1-24T09:06:05
[edit]Produce any other useful templates
ongoing
[edit]Cite references
on existing pages
ongoing
[edit]Rework the Help pages
They were written by the developer who is, perhaps, a little too close to the software (and has spent too much time reading Wikipedia's help). It would also be good to update the examples, some of which are borrowed frome Wikipedia help. ongoing
[edit]Add anything missing to the help pages
ongoing
[edit]Remove any usage of deprecated functionality
(apart from tables and images, this primarily means the existing anchors)
ongoing
[edit]Move existing user pages
to the User namespace (something can be left in the main namespace if the individual is notable, but ideally this should not be self-written) Completed
[edit]Move all test pages to the Wiki or User namespace
The former pages named Test Test xxxx have now all been moved to the Wiki area, and are now accessed as Wiki:Test Test, Wiki:Test Two, Wiki:Test Three etc.
To find them search on Wiki:Test - deletion of originals requested
Completed
[edit]As user pages and test pages are moved
flag the page in the main namespace for deletion
Completed
[edit]Produce some lightweight policies and procedures
ongoing
[edit]Write a style guide
ongoing
[edit]Community Page Minder
Find someone to look after the community portal! Any offers?

[edit]Using talk pages
Please sign your posts using --~~~~.
Also, please use sections, NOT lines, to break up the page. Sections make it easy for people to find their way around the page.
Thank you.

[edit]Invent time travel
I think you have your months out of step. I presume you update to the Wiki software was the 29th JUNE 2007?
--Edward Harris 10:49, 2 July 2007
