Tasks

[edit]

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
[edit]

The index list is at Wikipedia:Contents/Indices.

Fix tables of contents

[edit]

Many index pages have sections that don't show up on their tables of contents (TOCs).

These need to be fixed using a TOC template. {{Compact TOC}} works great for this.

The hunt for index pages that aren't called "Index of"

[edit]

They hide in two ways:

  1. By not being included in Wikipedia:Contents/Indices, or
  2. By not having "Index of" in their titles

When you find them, please add them to the list below.

Those marked renamed have been renamed. Those marked placed have been added to Wikipedia:Contents/Indices.
