Automated Fandom Wiki Maintenance Sweep

Every morning, WebRun opens your Fandom wiki, reads the pages created or edited since yesterday alongside the special pages that list maintenance problems, flags anything with no category, no incoming links, a broken internal link, or a stub template, files the sweep in Google Drive, and posts the fix queue to Notion.

In short

How do I find wiki pages missing categories, links, or content?

WebRun sweeps your Fandom wiki every morning. It reads the pages added or edited since yesterday, flags the ones with no category, no incoming internal links, or too little content to stand alone, files the fix list in Google Drive, and posts today's maintenance queue to Notion for your editors.

  • New pages get categorized while they are still fresh
  • The orphan pile stops growing as contributors add pages
  • Editors open a grouped queue instead of hunting through special pages

Step by step

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

    Opens www.fandom.com in a real browser with your saved login - no setup, no API keys.

  2. 1
    Fandom - sweep pages for structure problems
    fandom.com
    WebRun in Fandom: sweep pages for structure problems
    WebRun opens Fandom to sweep pages for structure problems.
    • Open your Fandom wiki and list pages created or edited since the last run
    • Check each page for at least one category and for incoming internal links
    • Use the special pages that list uncategorized, orphaned, and wanted pages
    • Flag pages marked as a stub or carrying a maintenance template
    • Read only. WebRun never edits a page

    Done when Every recently touched page has been checked for categories, links, and stub status.

  3. 2
    Google Drive - file the daily sweep
    drive.google.com
    WebRun in Google Drive: file the daily sweep
    WebRun opens Google Drive to file the daily sweep.
    • File the day's sweep into your wiki maintenance folder
    • Keep one row per page with the problem and the date it first appeared
    • Hold the previous sweeps so the backlog trend is easy to read

    Done when Today's sweep is filed in Google Drive next to the earlier ones.

  4. 3
    Notion - post the fix queue
    notion.so
    WebRun in Notion: post the fix queue
    WebRun opens Notion to post the fix queue.
    • Post today's fix queue grouped by problem type
    • Put uncategorized pages first, then orphans, then stubs and broken links
    • Link each entry straight to the page so an editor can start immediately

    Done when Editors have today's maintenance queue in Notion, grouped by problem.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it edit wiki pages on its own?

No. Wiki edits are public and permanent, so WebRun never adds a category, never fixes a link, and never saves a page. It lists the problems and your editors make the changes.

Does it message contributors?

No. The queue goes to your own Notion page and Google Drive folder. WebRun never posts to a talk page, never leaves a comment, and never contacts an editor.

How does it find orphan pages?

It reads the special pages your wiki already generates for uncategorized, orphaned, and wanted pages, then cross-checks them against the pages created or edited since the last run.

Put this on autopilot.
