A common problem is that wiki content isn't updated regularly. That
doesn't have to mean that the content is outdated but it is difficult for
users to assess this correctly. So if the content is outdated, you can
ask users to help updating it.
Box: Update this Article
4
A lot of wiki articles are too long and therefore they are confusing
and do not invite an user to read the whole article. It is difficult to
filter relevant information. A wiki gardener can use this box to ask for
help to clear the content or divide it into several articles.
Box: Shorten this Article
5
There are lots of very well written, good structured and useful
articles in a wiki. Award the author(s) by marking articles as
"excellent". A commendation has never been a drawback - don't you
think?!
Box: Excellent Article
6
This box is important for content with a lack of screenshots or
images. Ask users to improve the quality and comprehensibility of an
article by inserting images.
Box: Insert Images
7
A lot of wiki content is important to be discussed but lots of readers
don't dare to start or join a discussion. This box invites them to take
part at the conversion and contribute useful input.
Box: Join the Discussion
8
Especially in documentations, but also in other use cases, users
don't take the time to write a comprehensive article. They use bullet
point lists and keywords instead. This is often hard to understand for
others. Ask readers to help writing a continuous text.
Box: Continuous Text Missing
9
Sometimes an author begins to write an article - it doesn't matter if
he forgot to write an introduction or if he didn't know enough details -
some information is missing. So this box invites others to help
adding content.
Box: Add Content
10
In multilingual wikis, content is sometimes necessary in several
languages. With this box you can mark articles that need to be
translated.
Box: Translation Required
11
The wiki concept is known for its linked content. But sometimes
people don't know how to insert a link, they don't have the time or
maybe don't know what articles are important to link there. This box
template shall draw attention to the lack of links.
Box: Insert Links
