Wiki gardening refers to maintaining and improving a wiki by organizing content, fixing formatting issues, updating outdated information, and removing irrelevant or redundant material.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
  • Archiving or deleting outdated or irrelevant pages
  • Clarifying content and structuring it logically
  • Merging duplicate pages
  • Splitting overly long ones

Wiki gardeners help ensure the wiki remains user-friendly, accurate, and valuable for all contributors and readers.
