Hong Kong To-do:

edit purge

Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box".
- We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.)

Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

[edit] Things that are missing....

...but I don't really know enough about them to add them myself.

Gun Club Hill barracks is still extant (Austin Road in TST is the main entrance) - now occupied by the PLA, except for the former attached club, now independent as the United Services Club (entrance Gasgoine Road).
Whitfield Barracks (where Kowloon Park is now)
East Kowloon Barracks - now occupied by the PLA, it's in Kowloon Tong. You can easily see it from Waterloo Road as the piece of expensive HK real estate with a few decaying Nissen Huts on it.
Various RGA batteries around HK (e.g. Pinewood Battery off Hatton Road, and on top of Mount Davies)
the ammunition depots on Lantau and at Tai Po road
