[edit] Maintenance

These tasks can be always be worked on

• Locate and mark pages that need expanding as article stubs.
• Check all the episode pages in Category: Episode Stubs. Most of the articles were put into that catigory by accident so it is only a matter of checking to see if the article is complete and removing the tag at the bottom of the page. See the page for more info.
• Create links to some orphaned pages.
• Upload and add some images! Visit Special:Upload. Add them to a category too, like [[Category:Images]].
• Write a new article that's on the the wanted list!
• Consider splitting up very long pages.
• Create some links on dead end pages.
• Categorize pages, images, and categories
• Fix broken and double redirects
