Help out

The original wiki at wikipatterns.com is not available anymore, but the content was too important to be lost.

Thus the contents have been rescued with help of the WayBack Machine.

However this meant semi automatic converting HTML back to wiki syntax and that was not always perfect.

Things to fix

Look out for things like these:

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 internal links. When you see a red link, see if you can find the appropriate page to link to.
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.
