More tasks

These run quietly and rarely need looking at, so they live here instead of on the front page. They are watched just the same — if one of them fails, the warning still appears there.

📋 Women's worklist

A list, not a banner. I ask Wikidata which articles are about women, measure how much real prose each one has, and publish the shortest first — so an editathon can see at a glance where an hour would do the most good. I add nothing to the articles themselves.

🌱 Stub marking

A short article should say so, and one that has grown past that shouldn't. I measure the actual prose — not references or infoboxes — and add the specific stub template: an actor gets the actor stub, a film the film stub, never a generic one. At most three per article.

🏷️ Maintenance tags

Some articles cite nothing, sit in no category, or have nothing linking to them. I mark those so readers are warned and editors can find the work — and, just as much, I take a notice back off once somebody has fixed the problem. An article that already carries the right tag is left exactly as it is.

🔤 Arabic letters

Text typed on an Arabic keyboard uses ي and ك where Kurdish uses ی and ک. They look alike but break search and sorting. I correct them only inside words that are provably Kurdish — never in Arabic, names or Qur'anic text.
