 * Important: fix up wiki links which may have broken during migration; often, a single set of [brackets] will do the trick.
  * Find and fix links which still point to the old wiki
  * check for orphaned pages and link to relevant sections
  * hunt for links pointing to the old Wiki and have them redirected (see below)
 * Convert all pages to MoinMoin Syntax and deactivate the other input methods...
The important pages below are in need of a thorough cleanup:

 * Complete the WikiPolicy
  * Content License, Copyright
  * What to do with StubArticles, where to move obsolete pages etc.
  * Formal structure of WikiTeam, who maintains the server, who supervises content etc.
 * Samba - SettingUpSamba
 * ISDN Networking - IsdnHowto, HisaxButNotMISDN, etc.
 * Wacom Tablets - (3/20/08) Consolidation done into ["WacomLegacy"]
 * MythTV - there are 3 guides already about MythTV, there should just be one.
 * VMWare - there are far too many guides about VMWare, they need integrating.
 * Postfix - ditto.
 * Kernel - ditto.
 * ["Installation/AMD64"] - Currently very old. Either update or delete (and modify parent page).
 * ["UbuntuOnCluster"] - Very outdated. Either update or delete.
 * [:SATAHowto] - still needed? AFAIK, SATA works normally, except for with some installations, but that can be covered in the installation guides.

 * Teams - add copy from the wiki Teams to the website - http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/teams/ and keep that current.
 * UbuntuCommunity Philosophy - amend the Philosophy page on the website to include copy from http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/UbuntuCommunityPhilosophy
 * (Maybe use a macro to automatically update the pages under support etc.?)
 * Polishing documentation that already ships with Ubuntu?
 * Create a macro to automatically have link on DocPages to the translations.
 * organize the pages below into some kind of useful hierarchy like in IdeasForNewFrontPageStructure. Visit them and use the reparent button or backlinks tab to move them under suitable parent pages.
 * Maybe create a "stubs" page, which contains all pages which need more work.
Also, a list of pages which need more work can be found on the page CategoryCleanup. Feel free to dive into that list, tidy up a page and remove the Cleanup tag!

  I think that if this isn't broken down in some simple way it'll end up being a giant script repository. Not necessarily a bad thing, but proper organization would encorage people to either put their script on a totally seperate page or in another, dedicated scripts page.
 * SettingUpSamba
 * Java - needs to be vastly simplified and updated to the new version of sun java, 1.5.0 update 2.
 * InitScriptList
There are lots of good guides posted on the forums every day [http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=100 in the howto section]. Often there is material that isn't covered in this wiki. Bringing guides from there into the wiki structure can be really useful - be sure to get the author's permission to release the document into the wiki. For more details, read the ["forum"] page.
