It does not necessarily mean it possess any obvious error, but rather that it is too lacking in detail or is too inconsistent. This is different from pages marked for deletion.<br /><br />You may add a page to the given category by placing <code><nowiki>{{improve|<Reason why the article should be improved (optional)>}}</nowiki></code> at the top part of the page. |

Make sure to check the featured articles [[:Category:Featured articles|category page]] to make sure you will not request an article for the second time.<br /><br />It should be noted that article requests that have too much opposition may not be requested again after a month's time. There's a difference between unaccepted requests and opposed requests as unaccepted requests are simply requests that the Administrator did not bother to comment on and was not featured, even with a lot of agreement from regular users, and opposed requests are articles that are openly agreed by most people that it is truly not something worth to show in front of the wiki page. |

Simply click the "edit" or "add" on the current blank page, type <code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[<name of article>]]</nowiki></code> and click preview. As you preview it, it should say something around "Redirects to <page>". If that appears, click save.<br /><br />Please remember that article names are case sensitive.

Welcome to My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Wiki! The community portal lists tasks and projects in need of attention around the wiki.
A tutorial for contributors who are new to wikis is available.
Please read the contribution guidelines before contributing.
Tasks
Edit articles in the workshop or edit articles in need of improvement
These pages have been marked with {{ce}}, {{in-universe}}, or {{delete}}, and either require more content, copy-editing, general cleanup, or a complete overhaul. Improving these articles and pages helps the wiki the most. Common problems include excessive use of the passive voice ("is seen", "as shown", "as demonstrated"), in-universe perspective ("has the ability to", descriptions of fictional events in the past tense, descriptions of fictional characters in a biographical manner), excessive use of parentheses (if a statement is not parenthetical, it doesn't belong in parentheses), editorializing (using parenthetical, speculative, instructive, or overly subjective statements: "notably", "importantly", "interestingly", "it is apparent"), excessive capitalization (Especially Nouns).
Check the to-do list thread on the forum
Wiki contributors may list tasks for improving the wiki on the forum, and specifically use the to-do list thread to keep track of these tasks.
Improve media
Some media are distorted, pixelated, downscaled, upscaled, or of low quality. If you have a higher-quality file please upload it to replace the lower-quality one. Make sure you select the proper license for the image and use it with permission or under fair-use stipulations.
Discuss monthly featured articles
Suggest and discuss articles that should be featured on the front page of the wiki each month.
Fix orphaned pages
Orphaned pages are pages that have not been linked from other pages. The best way to get a proper link to an article that is orphaned is to find a more prominent related article and link to the orphaned page from it.
Fix dead-end pages
Pages that do not give any links to another article are dead end pages. Linking them to related topics is useful. Some exceptions are gallery pages, fan labor pages, and speculation pages.
Create missing category pages
Check the list of missing categories, and check whether the articles in the category are in the right place. If not, update the category links on the article(s) in question. If they are, then add a category page, ensuring that you categorize it so it shows up in the right place in the tree.
If all else fails
Click away for random page! Most pages in the wiki need tweaking. Chances are you'll get to a page with a grammar mistake or a broken template. If you can fix it, go ahead!
More things to do
You can have a look at Fandom's default community portal page for even more links.
