  • Help expand some article stubs.
  • Chck for any internal links to disambiguation pages and fix them.
  • Create some links on dead end pages and create links to some orphaned pages.
  • Fix any double redirects by redirecting the first page to the third page. Also check for broken redirects and fix them.

  • Also check the wiki thread on forums!
