How Can We Help?
This page is a set of categories or whatever else I maintain (or at least try to) from time to time.
Refresh counts (This page is automatically purged every 5 minutes)
Top Priority
- Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates ( 21 ) - Normally fine, but once >5, chances are some bad transclusion or general bot delay is going on
- Category:Pages where archive parameter is not a subpage ( 9 ) - Bad archives
- Category:Articles with broken excerpts ( 2 ) - Bad excerpts
- Category:Pages with template loops ( 13 ) - Template loops
- Category:Pages which use a template in place of a magic word ( 22 ) - Swap and check magic words
- Category:Pages using center with no arguments ( 1 ) - Content probably left invisible
- Category:Pages using center with unknown parameters ( 552 ) - Content probably left invisible
Edit summary templates
I do a lot of obscure tasks, and keeping a consistent and well-written edit summary is helpful. These are now tracked in User:Aidan9382/scripts/defaultSummaries.js instead of here.
Quick wikitext templates
Same as above, but for content instead of edit summaries (and therefore not in the js script)
{{db-g6|reason=Archive made under incorrect name by auto-archiving bot. Content moved to [[ ]]}}

Fixing
Specific
High Priority
Medium Priority
- Category:Pages with duplicate reference names ( 44 ) - The 1st installment in ref fails
- Category:Pages with broken reference names ( 1,197 ) - The 2nd (and annoying to fix) installment in ref fails
- Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting ( 76 ) - The 3rd installment in ref fails
- Category:Pages with script errors ( 393 ) - Interesting to look into, since its all lua, but most of it is timeout or bad template usage or intentional fails, so not always fixable within reason
Low Priority
None.
Assisting
- Category:Wikipedia semi-protected edit requests ( 41 ) - Edit requests for semi-protected pages

- Category:All pages needing cleanup ( 34,502 ) (random page)
To do
- Nasir (missile) - Article is hard to read, messy in its citations, and just needs general work done.
- B1 Preliminary - Could use a copy edit.
- Transcare EMS - This needs cleaning, quite badly too.
To do quick
None.
Random Maintenance Category Dump
- Category:Pages using deprecated enclose attributes ( 3 ) (Cleared)
- Category:Pages using deprecated source tags ( 464 )
- Category:Pages with syntax highlighting errors ( 778 )
- User:AnomieBOT/Nobots Hall of Shame (Specifically mainspace)
- Category:All Wikipedia articles that are incomprehensible ( 225 )
- Fixing {{ *}} - Nearly always incorrect wikitext
- 2 archive bots at once - recipe for disaster
- both MiszaBot and OCA at once - not so likely to be a recipe for disaster (and easier to sort), but still probably not a good idea
- The � character or the  character or the character in mainspace - Tool issue normally. Search results will vary wildly thanks to timeouts.
- Uses of User:MiszaBot/config using a magic word in
|archive=(or just templates used in the parameter at all) - this is invalid per User:MiszaBot/config § Parameters explained
