Monthly

Patrol Backlog

By the end of each month, Staff should ensure all edits made during that month are patrolled. A log can be viewed here.

Edits from more than 90 days from the date of viewing the log will not appear in the log.

Redundant Term Storage

Terms are sometimes stored multiple times on accident, and end up confusing the template. If these show up, we should resolve the issues by checking this query here.

Zelda Wiki:Sandbox

The Sandbox should be cleared at the start of every month.

Maintenance Categories

The following maintenance categories should be cleared on a regular basis. The respective category pages will contain more information on how to do so.
