Ideas
changeIdeas for how to combat vandalism and revitalize the Simple English Wikipedia: ofo
- Add a form of EN:ACTRIAL where only registered users can create articles, to combat the many unconstructive articles created by IP’s.
- Write some useful editing guides for 1) users from en-wiki; and 2) new editors; and 3) editors from some other language wiki.
- Expand the Simple English Wikipedia policy slightly, to make things clearer, and to avoid having to refer to en-wiki policy.
- Work through the Special pages Maintenance reports, particularly Articles in Pages not connected to items to identify and treat pages abandoned shortly after creation, of two sorts:
- With Wikidata item, probably notable: tag page with templates that sort into categories for attention to particular defects; and
- Without Wikidata item: review notability and possible alternate page name; create item and proceed as above.
