Wiki gardening refers to maintaining and improving a wiki by organizing content, fixing formatting issues, updating outdated information, and removing irrelevant or redundant material. It is analogous to tending a garden—keeping it clean, orderly, and welcoming. Tasks often include:
- Correcting typos and grammar mistakes
- Correcting technical errors
- Adding categories and linking pages for better navigation
