As the name implies,  the '''TARDIS Index File to do list''' brings together links to maintenance pages pertaining to the improvement of the wiki.


==Article specific==
==Stubs==
*[[Special:Lonelypages|Orphaned pages]] - These are articles that have no articles that link '''''to''''' them, they need to have a '''different''' article edited to include a link to these 'orphaned pages', to check if they have any links to them use the 'What links here' link. This can mean re-writing another page to include a relevant link or just wikilinking content in an article to link to the orphaned page.
Stubs are articles that lack the content required to provide a full encyclopaedic cover of their topic. The term usually applies to small articles, as other terms are applied to issues with larger articles. This wiki's stubs are gathered together at [[:category:stubs]], with various subcategories allowing for specific targeting of an article type.


*[[Special:Uncategorizedpages|Uncategorised pages]] - These are articles that have been created and a category not assigned to them. These require the correct and specific category or categories to be assigned to them.
==Wanted pages==
Wanted pages are uncreated articles that are linked to elsewhere on the wiki. In order to eliminate red links, these pages must be created. This wiki's wanted pages are gathered together at [[special:wantedPages]], and are ordered by how many red links point to them.


*[[:Category:Maintenance lists]] - This category contains lists concerning un-written characters that appear in novels, these lists should be altered when a character article is created.
==Orphaned pages==
Orphaned (or lonely) pages are articles to which no other article links. All of this wiki's articles can be linked to in some way by another, either by rewriting the appropriate section of another article, or adding a link to the reference section of the source material. This wiki's orphaned pages are gathered together at [[special:Lonelypages]].


*[[Special:WantedPages|Wanted pages]] - This is a list generated by the wiki of the articles that ware wanted or red linked. They are listed by links to the page, and listed by the page with the most links to it to the page with the least.
==Uncategorised pages==
Uncategorised pages are articles that have been created and a category not assigned to them. These require the correct and specific category or categories to be assigned to them. Articles are usually left without a category by mistakes, or by a user unfamiliar with using a wiki. This wiki's uncategorised pages are gathered together at [[special:uncategorizedpages]].  


*[[:Category:Proposed mergers|Proposed mergers]] - This category contains articles that have been tagged with the [[Template:Merge|Merge template]], these articles have information that has been identified by editors as being duplicated on another article or two articles that have similar information and need merging. While the merging of articles must be done by an admin, a discussion by editors may be required for or against the merger.
==Maintenance lists==
These "maintenance lists" are used created pages that bring together the uncreated character pages from several ranges of ''Doctor Who'' books. By looking at these, you can find articles that need to be created, just remember to take them off the list when your done. This wiki's maintenance lists are gathered together at [[:category:maintenance lists]].  


==Collected in categories==
==Proposed mergers==
===Stubs===
Proposed mergers are articles that have been highlighted to have their contents moved into another article. While this process can only be completed by an [[Tardis:Administrators|admin]], other users can take place in the discussion pertaining to this change. This wiki's proposed mergers are gathered together at [[:category:proposed mergers]]
Several articles are classified as stubs, many articles have media or style specific stubs attached to them. The stub templates place them within a category, these articles need much more information in order for them to have the stub tag removed.


*[[:Category:Stubs]] - This contains in-universe articles which are stubs and also contains subcategories which have further classified the stubs down into more specific in universe stubs.
==Articles in need of major additions==
*[[:Category:Real world stubs]] - This contains Real world stubs and also, like the in-universe category also contains further subcategories of real world stub.
Articles in need of major additions - or articles in need of updating - are those that lack substantial information about their topic and so are inadequate in their current state. To be improved, they need to have this missing information added to them. This wiki gatherers these articles together at [[:Category:articles in need of major additions]].  


===Other category collections===
==Out of universe cleanup==
*[[:Category:Articles in need of major additions]] - Articles collected in this category require ''major'' revisions, either because of grossly inadequate information, incorrect format or use of templates, or junk edits or vandalism. When making necessary revisions, please remember to remove the article's maintenance tag and category link to this page before clicking "Save Changes." (Depending on the level of the edit and the information removed you may wish to add a relevant stub to the article)
Articles in need of an "out of universe cleanup" are those that defy [[tardis:point of view]]. This often required a complete rewrite with each word being analysed and changed if it's not the correct tense. This wiki's out of universe articles are gathered together at [[:category:out of Universe cleanup]] .


*[[:Category:Out of Universe cleanup]] - These articles have been marked with a <nowiki>{{Oou}}</nowiki> tag, these in-universe articles have been marked as having large amounts of out of universe information requiring integrating into the article or removing.
==Articles in need of citation==
 
Articles in need of citation are those that lack the references need to prove their information correct. Some pages can often require several citations and all of requirements must be filled to take the article out of this category. Both real world and in-universe articles can require additional citations. This wiki gather these articles together at [[:category:articles needing citation]].
*[[:Category:Articles needing citation]] - These articles have had the [[Template:Fact]] or [[Template:Facts]] template added to some part of the information on the article. This denotes these articles are missing sources for key points of information. These articles can be both '''in-universe''' and '''out-of-universe''' articles.
