A common problem is that wiki content isn't updated regularly. That

doesn't have to mean that the content is outdated but it is difficult for

users to assess this correctly. So if the content is outdated, you can

ask users to help updating it.

Box: Update this Article

4

A lot of wiki articles are too long and therefore they are confusing

and do not invite an user to read the whole article. It is difficult to

filter relevant information. A wiki gardener can use this box to ask for

help to clear the content or divide it into several articles.

Box: Shorten this Article

5

There are lots of very well written, good structured and useful

articles in a wiki. Award the author(s) by marking articles as

"excellent". A commendation has never been a drawback - don't you

think?!

Box: Excellent Article

6

This box is important for content with a lack of screenshots or

images. Ask users to improve the quality and comprehensibility of an

article by inserting images.

Box: Insert Images

7

A lot of wiki content is important to be discussed but lots of readers

don't dare to start or join a discussion. This box invites them to take

part at the conversion and contribute useful input.

Box: Join the Discussion

8

Especially in documentations, but also in other use cases, users

don't take the time to write a comprehensive article. They use bullet

point lists and keywords instead. This is often hard to understand for

others. Ask readers to help writing a continuous text.

Box: Continuous Text Missing

9

Sometimes an author begins to write an article - it doesn't matter if

he forgot to write an introduction or if he didn't know enough details -

some information is missing. So this box invites others to help

adding content.

Box: Add Content

10

In multilingual wikis, content is sometimes necessary in several

languages. With this box you can mark articles that need to be

translated.

Box: Translation Required

11

The wiki concept is known for its linked content. But sometimes

people don't know how to insert a link, they don't have the time or

maybe don't know what articles are important to link there. This box

template shall draw attention to the lack of links.

Box: Insert Links
