These are ongoing profects that will probably never reach a "completed" stage. Since content is always being added to the Homestar Runner site and new Wiki pages are always being created, we will always be cleaning up our Wiki. If you consider yourself a WikiGnome, these are the projects for you.

Disambigpation Pages with links
Ideally nothing should pwn link to a disambiguation page. Using the "What links here" feature, you can determine if any article in the Category:Disambiguation has unneeded links. Links should be edited to go to the appropriate article.
Dead End Pages, Orphaned Pages, etc.
There are a number of pages on the "Special Pages" list that are useful tools to keep the Wiki in tip-top condition.
- Orphans: Pages that are not linked to by any other page (note: ideally, disambig pages should be orphaned)
- Dead End Pages: Pages that do not link to any other page
- Wanted Pages: Requested pages that do not exist yet
Before creating a new page, check that a suitable page does not already exist.
Merge and Redirect
Sometimes multiple pages are created for the same thing. If you find multiple pages that need merging, list them here or perform the cleanup yourself.
- (Nothing to list at the moment)
To cleanup this situation one will:
- Determine which page is the most suitable
- Move and integrate important information from the redundant pages to the proper page
- Use the What links here feature to list all the references to the redundant pages
- Fix all the found links to the appropriate page
- Turn the redundant pages into Redirects or add them to Category: To be deleted
Pages Needing Deletion
If you find a page that doesn’t seem to belong on the Wiki, adding the article to the Category: To be deleted will notify the administrators and they will either
- Delete the page outright
- Add a comment to the article's Talk page as to why the page should remain
