-Look out for things like these:+These tasks can be done without any deeper knowledge about Wikis. Just 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...%%''   * **Bad spacing**.

   * **Spam**. At the end of wikipatterns.com some spam had sneaked into the content. Check links carefully and remove all suspicous content.   * **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]]%%''   * **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
 +
