			===Copy-editing===
			A lot of pages have poor spelling/grammar. This is mostly due to many people not using spelling/grammar plugins. This can be fixed by checking the text in an editor like LibreOffice Writer or Microsoft Word and then replacing the text with a corrected version.

			===Remove copy-paste intros===
			Many pages currently suffer from copy-paste intro sentences like "The blah is most known for blah", which does not always read easily and becomes tackier as pages repeatedly use the same opening line. Pages should have an opening line that best suits the page itself, there is no compulsion to use the exact same opening.

			===Fix video formatting===
			Where there is more than one video on a page, videos should be formatted into a collapsible div so that they do not fill up the entire page. See [[VicGotGame]] or [[Bonkura]] to see how this is done.

New page

This is a page for important tasks that need to be completed to improve the wiki.

==Tasks==

===Fix Double Redirects===
With the page moves that have been made there has been an uptick in redirects that redirect to another redirect page. This is an issue as a double redirect doesn't automatically take you to the final page. Redirect pages should be edited to go straight to an actual page, not another redirect.

===Base pen mod pages===
We need a lot more pen mod pages. They do not need to have written tutorials, a description of the mod, a picture and the infobox filled out is enough, with a video tutorial added being particularly good. Written tutorials can come later on.

===Common pens for modding===
There's still a lot of these to fill in, and more will become apparent when we start adding more pen mods. The best way to do it is to put a description and an image of the pen, ideally from a website like JetPens or Penwish.

===Community History===
This is tedious but needs doing. Find the old-timers from various boards and quiz them about the history of the boards, in order to fill in the details about their community. A good example of this filled out is [[UPSB]]. Additionally, archives can provide an invaluable service if you can get a decent archive of a forum. Check for an "Announcements" or equivalent forum on the archive to find the key points of the site's history.

RPD's book will eventually help a little with this when it comes out, but we can expect the amount of detail to be relatively limited. RPD's book will limit community histories to a subchapter, while a wiki page can contain enough information for an entire chapter.

===Events===
There's events like SpinFest 2019 and so on that need writing up, as well as previous world tournaments and World Cups. See [[SpinFest 2021]] and [[Pen Spinning World Tournament 2007]] or [[Asian Cup 2008]] for info on how to fill pages like these in. The details for filling these in can be found on archives or asking in The Collective discord.

===Tricks===
Pages on tricks need to be made. There's some existing precedent in the archive of the original UPSB Wiki, with the older one having far more pages, but with many inaccessible.

===Modding Techniques===
Pages on cutting barrels, grips etc need to be made to go with the rest of the modding pages.
