The Doctor's "To Do" List - Please feel free to help!

Fixing Special Pages

All of the following need fixing:

Special:BrokenRedirects

Special:DeadendPages

Special:DoubleRedirects

This is a big one and involves a LOT of old Catsdown links.

Special:LonelyPages

Fairly simple - find a related article and link to it! Example of how to fix this includes Series 53 now linking to BAFO.

Special:UncategorizedFiles

User_talk:TobyMcDonald#Images - Toby is taking the lead on this one.

Special:UncategorizedPages

Special:UnusedFiles

Use your own judgement here on whether to add to a page or delete.

Special:WantedCategories

Most of these will need fixing, rather than deleting.

Special:WantedPages

This is effectively an index of red links, so axing as many as possible would be ideal. Many of these only have 1 red link, which you can leave for now.

These are roughly in several categories:

People

Mostly from Co: events, it may be worth adding them with the Category Category:People who have not appeared on Countdown. If their co-event name is a pseudonym, either remove the red link, or create the page but do add Category:People instead. It's a pseudonym for a reason - DO NOT REVEAL THEIR IDENTITY.

Deliberate red links

Links like Gatwick Airport appear solely in pages such as Countdown:About, so do not touch.

Other links in talk pages can stay for now, but you may wish to replace the red link with a <strike></strike>tag instead.

Featured Articles

I'm hoping to reinstate Scott Mearns to the front page (done!), Harvey Freeman too. I would also like to see new featured articles for 2021 and would like to mark-up Gary Woodward at some point.

Tournaments

Everything in Category:Countdown tournaments and Category:Online Countdown tournaments should really have a game table.

Co-event "episodes"

Re-order the sort codes in categories so they appear in the category Category:Co-event games under something that isn't E.

Countdown Marathon 2

Have to get round to recapping this soon.

Today in Countdown History

Needs updating.

Catsdown

May need to re-sort episodes otherwise they'll all get mixed up when we get to standard ep 8000, which isn't far away.

RR links and Round Details removals

Where appropriate.
