			Orphaned articles are pages that have no incoming links from other articles on the wiki. These should be reviewed to determine if they should be linked from appropriate articles, merged with existing content, or considered for deletion if they lack significance.

			The [[Special:LonelyPages]] tool identifies all orphaned articles on the wiki.

Created the To-Do list page, with general maintenance tasks being based on the existing templates

New page

This page serves as a centralized list of things on the World of T-Shirts Wiki that require improvement or expansion. Editors may use this page to track tasks they believe need attention.

The following guidelines apply: tasks may be completed in any order, and editors should remove completed items from the list. Specific suggestions for improvement should be added to the appropriate sections below.

== Community to-do list ==
* Update important people articles (Joshua Block, Mr. Based, Quinn, etc.)
* Update Josh travel / country articles
* Ensure pages have good images
* Create category pages featured in this list (low priority)
* Add specific tasks to this section

== General maintenance tasks ==
This section outlines general maintenance tasks that contribute to the overall quality of the wiki.

=== Content archival ===
Most references currently link to [[r/WorldOfTShirts|Reddit]] as the primary archive for Joshua Block related content. While this remains the most accessible source, there exists a small, but potential risk of content loss should the subreddit be removed by Reddit administrators. Additionally, while Josh's TikTok and YouTube channels are less likely to be deleted, archival of this content remains important for long-term preservation.

=== Stub articles ===
A stub article is defined as one that is too short to comprehensive coverage of its subject. These articles should receive priority for expansion. Some articles will be inherently short, due to there not being enough to write about. Conversely, some articles can still be considered stubs even if they are a few paragraphs long, as there is still plenty to write about.

The [[:Category:Stubs]] contains all currently identified stub articles.

=== Citation requirements ===
Articles containing unsourced claims marked with [''citation needed''] should be reviewed. Editors should either provide reliable sources for these statements or remove them if verification proves impossible.

The [[:Category:Articles Missing Citations]] lists articles requiring source verification.

=== Content redundancy ===
Articles flagged for potential deletion due to content overlap with other entries should be evaluated. Editors should determine whether merging, redirecting, or keeping the article as standalone content would be most appropriate.

The [[:Category:Duplicate articles]] identifies potentially redundant content.

=== Article rewrites ===
Articles marked for rewriting should contain false information, poor writing quality, or significant formatting problems. If these issues do not apply, editors should consider replacing the rewrite notice with a more appropriate maintenance template.

The [[:Category:Articles that need to be rewritten]] contains affected articles.

=== Media transcriptions ===
Articles featuring audio or video content should have transcriptions for accessibility and searchability.

The [[:Category:Articles that need transcripts]] lists media requiring transcription.

=== Language quality ===
Articles identified as having grammatical or formatting issues should be reviewed and corrected.

The [[:Category:Articles with grammar issues]] contains articles needing language improvements.

=== Deletion candidates ===
Articles marked for deletion should be carefully evaluated. Editors who believe an article should be retained should discuss this on the article's Talk page or the Wiki Discord server.

The [[:Category:Content for deletion]] lists current deletion candidates.

=== Content updates ===
Articles tagged with [[Template:Needs Updating]] require current information. Editors should consult the sources mentioned in the template when updating these articles.

Alternatively, and by default, the template may be used to provide relevant (but not necessarily recent) sources needed to update an article.

The [[:Category:Articles that need to be updated]] identifies outdated content.

=== Ongoing events coverage ===
Articles covering developing situations should be regularly updated to reflect current information. The ongoing event template should be removed when the situation concludes or becomes historical.

The [[:Category:Articles with possibly outdated ongoing templates]] lists articles potentially requiring updates or template removal.
