A list of things to check on regularly or when something happens.
Maintenance
- Check Special:UncategorizedPages and add categories to pages. Consider enabling HotCat in your gadget preferences to quickly edit the categories of a page.
Approve new changes
Check on Special:ApprovedRevs for changes to existing pages that are not approved.
New system versions
What to do when Nintendo releases a new system version:
- Edit {{SystemVersion}}: Click here to edit
- Wait for the job queue to update every page that uses {{System version outdated article}} to show the warning and categorize outdated pages (this could take a while; up to 20 jobs are run every 10 seconds)
- Go to Category:Pages that may need updating and make any necessary changes; make sure to update
|sysversion=in{{System version outdated article}}.
Technical things and stuff
Site notices
- MediaWiki:Sitenotice displays a notice to all users
- MediaWiki:Sitenotice id is used so a new sitenotice can be displayed when users dismissed the old one (but also allows for minor changes to an existing one without re-displaying it). Increment this by 1 each time a new sitenotice is put.
- MediaWiki:Anonnotice displays a notice to all unregistered users (this currently transcludes Sitenotice)
- If this is replaced with a single "-" then Sitenotice is displayed instead. If this is completely empty, no notice will be displayed at all to unregistered users.
