Maintenance boxes are utilized by major wikis like Wikipedia to inform other users of the need to revise an article. Any registered user can include such a box on top of any wiki article which thereafter is visible for all readers. Another user might then start a discussion on the article's quality or - in case of minor aspects - simply eradicate its flaws. This is one way to identify articles needing attention and to thereby ensure content quality on energypedia.

Maintenance boxes are utilized by major wikis like Wikipedia to inform other users of the need to revise an article. Any registered user can include such a box on top of any wiki article which thereafter is visible for all readers. Another user might then start a discussion on the article's quality or - in case of minor aspects - simply eradicate its flaws. This is one way to identify articles needing attention and to thereby ensure content quality on energypedia.


What types of maintenance boxes are available?

Currently, users can choose from five different maintenance boxes:

Revision Broadest box indicating that an article needs an overall cleanup or aspects specified by users have to be addressed.
Copyright Expresses suspicion of copyright violations by an article or uploaded file.
Plagiarism Expresses suspicion of plagiarism in an article due to a lack of propper references.
Contradiction Suggests that two or more articles contradict each other.
Redundancy Indicates that two or more articles are covering the same topic and are hence redundant.


How to put a maintenance box on a page?

In order to incorporate a maintenance box in a page, you must be registered and logged in. Then follow the steps below:

  1. Go to the page you wish to add a maintenance box.
  2. Press the edit button at the upper right corner.
  3. Open the Wikitext within the editor.
  4. Add the code for the respective box on top of the page (see following table).
  5. Specify passages and articles or give reasons for your assumptions.
  6. Press "Save". A maintenance box should now appear on the page.
