Due to protection, it is generally only carried out by administrators. Below is a non-exhaustive list of tasks requiring work; </p> <ol><li>Some years ago <i>Wikinews</i> fell behind with archiving. A robot was used to automatically archive all articles that required it. These bear {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Archive-unreviewed" title="Template:Archive-unreviewed">Archive-unreviewed</a>}} and are in <a href="/wiki/Category:AutoArchived" title="Category:AutoArchived">Category:AutoArchived</a>. These predate the current <a href="/wiki/Wikinews:REVIEW" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikinews:REVIEW">review process</a>. They can be checked and, if in suitable shape, {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Archive-unreviewed" title="Template:Archive-unreviewed">Archive-unreviewed</a>}} should be replaced with {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Archive" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:Archive">Archive</a>}}</li> <li>Creating new topic categories is a constant task. Once a topic, such as a city or politician, has three to five relevant articles, a category should be created and added to relevant articles. To maintain compatibility with {{<a href="/wiki/Template:W" title="Template:W">w</a>}}, redirects must be set up.</li> <li>As mentioned above, articles in <a href="/wiki/Category:Pages_with_broken_file_links" title="Category:Pages with broken file links">Category:Pages with broken file links</a> require processed with {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Missing_image" title="Template:Missing image">missing image</a>}}.</li> <li><i>Wikinews</i> has begun using {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Image_credit" class="mw-redirect" title="Template:Image credit">image credit</a>}} to credit photographers and other media creators; this should be appended to old image captions where not already included in the caption.</li> <li>Before the {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Sisters" title="Template:Sisters">sisters</a>}} template, sister links were sometimes placed in what is now viewed as inappropriate locations, simultaneously implying they were used as <a href="/wiki/Wikinews:CS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikinews:CS">sources for information in the articles</a> whilst also degrading their importance as sister projects. Older articles using the outdated methods still exist in the archives. They should be converted to comply with the <a href="/wiki/Wikinews:SG#Sister_links_section" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikinews:SG">current style guide on sister links</a>.</li></ol> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Pre-protection_process" data-mw-thread-id="h-Pre-protection_process"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Pre-protection_process"></span>Pre-protection process<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Pre-protection_process"></span></h2><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Pre-protection_process","replies":[]}}--></div> <p>Administrators carrying out archiving should give all articles being archived a general check for problems. Per notes above, substantial changes cannot be made. <b>Remove outdated tags</b> such as {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Expand" title="Template:Expand">expand</a>}} and {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Breaking" title="Template:Breaking">breaking</a>}}. Once protected an article cannot be expanded and thus this is confusing. </p><p>The {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Archived" title="Template:Archived">Archived</a>}} tag should be added at the end of the article, preferably by putting {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Publish" title="Template:Publish">Publish</a>}}, {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Archived" title="Template:Archived">Archived</a>}} on individual lines, followed by the categories. Interwiki links to non-English Wikinews sites go last. </p><p>Articles should be given a final check for format, <a href="/wiki/Wikinews:Style_guide" title="Wikinews:Style guide">small style errors</a>, proper categorisation, spelling, and similar minor points. Since all changes are reviewed, there should be no major problems outstanding at this time. Wikipedia's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:AWB" class="extiw" title="w:WP:AWB">AutoWikiBrowser</a> supports Wikinews and is a useful tool for catching typos and common errors. <i>It is, however, no substitute for the current version of the human eyeball.</i> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="To_archive" data-mw-thread-id="h-To_archive"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-To_archive"></span>To archive<span data-mw-comment-end="h-To_archive"></span></h2><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-To_archive","replies":[]}}--></div> <div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: right;"> <b><a href="/wiki/Wikinews:WN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikinews:WN">Shortcut:</a></b><br/>WN:TOARCHIVE</div><p><b>If</b> there are no articles listed below the horizontal line (that is, if there are no more than twenty five unarchived articles), see the usual exception at times of slow output, <b><a href="#Age_for_Protection">above</a></b>.
