Editing Help:Editing Tools (section)

==Special pages==

Special Pages on a wiki are pages here to help editors find work to do by pointing out pages that could need some extra information or links.

If you are unsure wether a page should be listed in one of those special pages or not (some are there for a good reason), don't hesitate to [[The Wandering Inn Wiki:Community|leave a message in the Community Page]]!

===Categories===

*[[Special:WantedCategories|Wanted Categories]] : Some pages have these categories but they don't have any text in them. Edit the categories to explain what they are for and add information.
*[[Special:UnusedCategories|Unused Categories]] : These categories exist but don't have any pages in them. Link some pages to these categories if you think they are relevant, or mark them for deletion (see above).
*[[Special:UncategorizedPages|Pages without any category]] : Some pages don't belong to any category sometimes and that's okay. But sometimes categories can help people find those pages more easily. Refer to [[Special:Categories|the category list]] to find a suitable one, or create a new one if you feel it's important enough.

===Files===

*[[Special:WantedFiles|Wanted Files]] : These files (images) exist on pages but no file could be found on the server for them. This is probably due to some weird error during our migration. Feel free to reupload the missing images if you have them, or find an alternative to upload.
*[[Special:UnusedFiles|Unused Files]] : These files are on the Wiki but aren't used in any page. Either add them to a page they're related to, or mark them for deletion.

===Content===

For our [Lore Masters] who know The Wandering Inn by heart!

*[[Special:ShortPages|Short Pages]] : Pages that are definitely too short. This is the case with disambiguous pages and that's okay, but some other pages could clearly need more information.
*[[Special:FewestRevisions|Pages with fewest revisions]] : These pages have been created but haven't been touched much since. Maybe they have outdated information that needs to be checked.
*[[Special:AncientPages|Ancient Pages]] : Pages which haven't been updated in a while. They probably contain some outdated information. Maybe you can help update them?
*[[Special:WantedPages|Most wanted Pages]] : These pages have links pointing to them but they don't exist (yet!). If you think you can contribute with information, please create them. See our [[Help:Policies/Article Guide|Article Guide]] on how to write proper pages depending on what they refer to (characters, locations, etc.)
*[[Special:MissedPages|Missed Pages]] : Pages that people clicked on but didn't exist yet. Read [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:MissedPages the extension's documentation] on how to use it.
*[[Special:BrokenRedirects|Broken Redirects]] : Redirects help people find pages that might be known under a different name. Some redirections might be broken and the pages they redirect to don't exist yet or anymore. Maybe you can help create them?

===Links===

Interlinking pages is very important for a wiki. If you like creating links, this is for you.

*[[Special:DeadendPages|Dead end Pages]] : These pages don't have any links that could lead a user somewhere else. Add some missing links or categories to those pages! Dead ends aren't a good thing on wikis as it forces users to go back to a previous page, or if they come from an external link, try to find the main menu.
*[[Special:LonelyPages|Orphaned Pages]] : Pages that have no links pointing to them. Find out where a link to them would be relevant! Without being linked from anywhere, they can only be found by users through searches.
