-===== Things to fix =====
+===== Simple Things to fix =====
-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
   * **Wrong headline levels**. All pages should start with a H1 (6 equal signs) and then use the next smaller size for sub sections.

   * **Broken external links**. See if you can find a replacement or can link to the Wayback Machine
   * **HTML Artefacts**. If you see stuff in ''%%<HTML>%%'' tags it should be reformatted in proper Wiki Syntax.
+  * **Spam**. At the end of wikipatterns.com some spam had sneaked into the content. Check links carefully and remove all suspicous content.
+  * **Link Simplification**. When the title of a link is the same as the page it links to, there is no need to repeat yourself.\\ ''%%[[WikiZenMaster|WikiZenMaster]]%%'' -> ''%%[[WikiZenMaster]]%%''
+  * **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
+===== Classification =====
+We currently classify the Patterns and Anti-Pattern into just two focus groups:
+  * People - how people's behaviour influences the wiki
+  * Adoption - basically everything else
+It probably makes sense to rethink this classification. The adoption focus seems to broad and might be worth to be split up.
+Possible other focus areas:
+  * Content - the different kind of content that fit or not fit the wiki approach
+  * Permissions - how different approaches to permissions influence adoption
+  * Technology - what kind of technical features in a Wiki engine can help or hinder adoption
