Pages past their review date, listed — does this still hold? posts 31–32
This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1 · go to the accepted answer.
diluent_watch, post #3: Picking up post #2: that is the part I would want checked first. Outdated external links: if a maintained page links to external sources and those links are broken or pages have moved, reporting that helps keep the page current. Go to post
Orphaned pages: if a page has no incoming links and is not reachable from navigation, it is orphaned. Such pages should either be linked or deprecated.

This topic was closed 30 days after the last reply. Closing is automatic for quiet topics so that a settled answer does not collect new questions underneath it. If you have a follow-up, open a new topic and link back to this one — that keeps both readable and gives your question its own title.
