-Look out for things like these:+These tasks can be done without any deeper knowledge about Wikis. Just look out for things like these:
  
-  * **Spacing around links**. Often links have some trailing spaces.\\ ''%%Read this [[some link|website ]] , then...%%'' -> ''%%Read this [[some link|website]], then...%%''+  * **Bad spacing**. Often links or other formattings have some trailing spaces.\\ ''%%Read this [[some link|website ]] , then...%%'' -> ''%%Read this [[some link|website]], then...%%''
   * **Unnecessary forced line breaks**. There should nearly never be a reason to have a ''%%\\%%'' somewhere in the text   * **Unnecessary forced line breaks**. There should nearly never be a reason to have a ''%%\\%%'' somewhere in the text
   * **Wrong headline levels**. All pages should start with a H1 (6 equal signs) and then use the next smaller size for sub sections.   * **Wrong headline levels**. All pages should start with a H1 (6 equal signs) and then use the next smaller size for sub sections.

 +  * **Spelling**. Spelling and grammar mistakes happen, they should be fixed.

 +===== Pattern Cleanup =====
 +
 +This requires some more knowledge about Wiki patterns.
 +
 +  * **Deduplicate** There are some pattern pages that basically just describe different aspects of the same pattern. They should be merged into one and all the links to it adjusted.
 +  * **Rename** Some patterns have unwieldy names. They should be renamed (using the move tool).
 +  * **Categorize** Some adoption patterns are actually people patterns and vice versa
 +  * **Examples** More examples from real life wikis for the patterns would be very helpful. For some things screenshots may help
