 +===== 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
