Wikipedia:The Cure for WikiBoredom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome, Wikipedians, to The Cure for WikiBoredom. This page was established on June 20, 2006 to list all the tasks that need to be accomplished on Wikipedia. The community portal has something similar, however, would get too large if it were to list all the tasks wanted to get done. That's right, I want you to make this list as giant as possible. If you keep a personal list of goals to accomplish on Wikipedia, you can add things from that list to this page. Don't worry about making the page too big; we can always section it off into further subpages. If there's something you want to get done, list it here. The goal is to keep the WikiBored occupied for as long as possible – we can do it!
