1350:. My assumption on seeing the link is that it would take me to a list of short pages that need help expanding, but instead I find mainly a list of disambiguation pages and redirect pages, which are never going to be anything but short. I'm not quite sure if 'Short Pages' serves any other purpose, but assuming that the intent of this template is to help editors find things that need fixing, I don't think it is useful to include it here. -

needs revision. Many of the links are redirects, some are repeated, and generally it's really hard to find what's really needed. I went through the links, and realized that it should really be multiple lists. I've included them below. If they are liked, we can put them together into a table form

There are a few pages devoted to the maintenance required of the
Category system. They are listed here. I may also have missed some. Note that these are just pages for which non-admin users can do actual work, rather than just comment. Comment-only pages(like VfD) should be listed above in the

Another thing the
Template is trying to do is provide opportunities for people who want to do some Knowledge (XXG) maintenance. The next list handles this. It is sorted from most needed(least known) to least needed(best publicized). There are probably some pages I missed from this list. For
72:? Is it a weight assigned by an outside source? Is it the number of links to the article? ("most requested"...) Is it the number of article viewings? Is there a popularity contest where we can vote for it within Knowledge (XXG)? (these are all ideas for you to take or leave) --
56:. This could be used for our purpose if we enter the popularity in the sort key. To have a descending order, we could use 999998 for an article referred once, 999997 for an article referred twice... (This sort key is not shown in the list of articles of the category).

Hello, I'm looking to get involved in the wiki community and wanted to know where I'm supposed to register for this project. I'll try to help, but I may not spend much time online because I'm juggling work and school. Could you let me know if you want my help?

One thing that this
Template is trying to be is a list of ways for people to deal with pages that they think need something, but they can't just do it themselves. Here is a list for that purpose. It's sorted from best cases, most general to worst cases.
48:
Sorting articles by popularity would bring the major benefit of focusing the editing effort where it is most useful, i.e. where many people will actually view it. The popularity could be measured by the number of links to that page (like Google does).

As far as I know this is currently not possible in Wiki, because there is no "popularity" variable that we can automatically insert in a text, so we'll probably have to enter a request for new feature. Any other idea ??
1288:
I added a referencing section, to include sadly-missing links to the "references needed" categories -- not such a big deal when this temp was created. Should consider adding

The next one is items for which comment(and voting) are wanted rather than actual content. There are a lot more items to be added to this list.

There are various places where ideas for new articles can be found. I think there may be a central page, which if so, should replace this list.
