{{WIP}}
The '''Admin Dashboard''' provides an instructive directory for staff to conduct routine administrative and maintenance activities.

==General patrol (routine)==
*Process edits on [[Special:RecentChanges]]
**Configure the Recent Changes filter to suit personal preferences (enable in [[Special:Preferences]] under the Recent Changes tab if only the basic filter is present)

==Admission of new articles (routine)==
*Process incoming articles on [[Special:NewPages]]
**Delete if ineligible or deemed unnecessary (first discuss with staff where uncertain)
**Rename if needed
**Add appropriate notice template
***[[Template:Stub]] if minimally developed but cleared for admission
***[[Template:Delete]] with parameter reason for minimally developed articles pending admission upon further development
***[[Template:WIP]] for primary article where more development is needed (including under specific headings)
***[[Template:Upcoming]] for primary article whose subject pertains to upcoming content
***[[Template:Pending]] for primary article if its content is relevant and sought to be maintained but as a standalone article further evaluation is required regarding where the content should be located
**Categorise when approved for permanent admission
**Move content to respective User sub page and mark with [[Template:UserPageExtension]] if it is expressed that they would like to individually work on the article

==Pending page processing (periodic)==
*Process pages on [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:UserPageExtension]]
**Move content to appropriate location if it was an article WIP and is sufficiently developed, and categorise
**Delete if page has been unedited in over 30 days
*Process pages on [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Delete]]
**Move content to appropriate location if it is deemed significant/relevant
**Delete once no further decision-making or actions are envisioned
*Process pages on [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Stub]]
**Remove template if article has been sufficiently developed
*Process pages on [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Pending]]
**Discuss with staff as part of evaluating approach and determining course of action

==File patrol (routine)==
*Process new files on [[Special:NewFiles]]
**Delete if identified as spam; remove redlinks left by deletions
**Delete if identified as intended for use on user pages; remove redlinks left by deletions (file links from non-staff should normally be prevented by the abuse filer)
**Categorise if approved for article use; delete all other content on file page
***Delete older versions in version table on file page
***''Specific use of licence templates to be determined (specifically for audio, PDFs)''
**Rename to correct title as necessary, adhering to naming convention (''[https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/snake-case-vs-camel-case-vs-pascal-case-vs-kebab-case-whats-the-difference/ pascal case]''); remove redlinks left by renaming

==Non-article non-file patrol (periodic)==
*Process pages via namespace on [[Special:AllPages]]
**'''Talk pages''' (and those of other namespaces) are available to be used for enquiries on a time-limited basis
***For non-enquiries, the talk page can be deleted after 3 days
***For genuine enquiries, provide a response, or allow discussion to continue if discussion with multiple users has taken place
****After 7 days of no follow-ups, cut and paste the relevant topic to [[Meta:Discuss]] for archiving, and delete the talk page if no other genuine enquiries have since been received
***For information/documentation being dumped for later or staff processing, process when possible
****Once processed, the talk page can be deleted
**'''User pages''' and '''User talk pages''' can exist perpetually
***Internal links (including files) should be removed so that they are not detected on maintenance reports (internal links from non-staff should normally be prevented by the abuse filer)
***Templates designed for personal use can be removed (finding via [[Special:MostLinkedTemplates]] after the user has been inactive for 60 days
**'''Templates''' should be checked and have unnecessary edits reverted, typically as part of general patrol
**'''Categories''' should be checked and have unnecessary edits reverted, typically as part of general patrol (edits to category pages from non-staff should normally be prevented by the abuse filter)
**'''MediaWiki (system) pages''' are editable only by interface administrators so will not experience non-staff modification
**'''Modules''' should be checked and have unnecessary edits reverted (it is an obscure namespace that is unlikely to receive attention)
**'''Other namespaces''' should not have any pages created in them, and where this occurs they should be deleted

==Redlinks (periodic) (script-editable)==
*Process pages on [[Special:WantedPages]]
**Remove redlinks on pages where redlink is not expected to receive an article in future
**Correct redlinks on pages where redlink was made in error trying to link to an existing article
*Process pages on [[Special:WantedFiles]]
**Remove/correct redlinks on pages where redlink is not a placeholder
*Process pages on [[Special:WantedTemplates]]
**Remove/correct redlinks on pages
*Process pages on [[Special:WantedCategories]]
**Remove/correct redlinks on pages (new redlinks from non-staff should normally be prevented by the abuse filter)

==Other (periodic)==
*Process instances of syntax errors on [[Special:LintErrors]]
[[Category:Site articles]]
