For currently active backlog reduction, please see Wikipedia:Backlog.
This page is designed to bring attention to general-interest maintenance backlogs. The current collaboration is publicized by editing the Template:wiki-week and Wikipedia:Maintenance collaboration of the week/current. This will feature the collaboration on the Community Portal, on user pages, and anywhere else these templates are used. We also try to make announcements on wiki community pages and IRC, and recommend edit summaries that will draw attention to the backlog.
Collaborations focus on the worst backlogs, and we try to set a specific goal that should take no more than a few months to reach.
