StrategyWiki:Cleanup project/Long term tasks

The tasks on this page are of a continuous nature, in that they involve cleanup functions that are always going to be needed as new pages and content are added. Unlike daily tasks, however, the focus of this page is to slowly whittle down the offending pages and clean them up as needed. The categories here contain pages that have been marked for cleanup in some way, and should be continuously worked on. Eventually categories with many pages in them may get down to zero, in which case they might need to be moved to the daily tasks page, if it is desired that be kept permanently clean.

Categories

These categories hold pages that have been marked for cleanup in some way. Where applicable, the number of pages within has been added after the category.

Add these to pages on the wiki

• Unused categories (?) (45 as of May 26, 2021)

  Note: Most of these are cleanup categories that will only be in use if there are pages needing that cleanup. We're only worried about the "static" categories.

• Unused files (?) (777 as of May 26, 2021)

  Note: A significant amount of images do not appear as unused due to them being used on talk pages in maintenance sections. A condensed list of all unused images can be found here.
