To do

1. Identify groups of pages that share a subtitle, suggesting that they belong together on a disambiguation page - ONGOING
   • Subcase: The bible - ONGOING
2. Soften matching criteria for redirects and disambiguation pages, to accommodate titles that differ only by a leading "The", "A" or "An". Or punctuation.
3. Soften matching criteria to include half-titles for colon-separated full-titles
4. Fix or delete redirects to non-existent pages
5. Every disambiguated page should have a {{similar}} link back to its disambiguation page
6. Every version listed on a versions page should have a {{other versions}} link back to its disambiguation page
7. Check every {{similar}} template points at a disambiguation page
8. Check every {{other versions}} template points at a versions page
9. Identify links to disambiguation pages from Author: pages; these should point at specific works or versions pages
10. Identify links to disambiguation pages from non-disambiguation page; these should usually point at specific works
11. Check direct links to particular versions/translations; if they are general, they should go to the versions/translations page, not the work itself
12. Find and fix root works with "Volume" etc. in the title; e.g. Grimm's Household Tales, Volume 2 and The Folk-Lore Journal. Volume 6.
13. Identify subpages without a root page.
14. Find subpages of disambiguation, versions and translations pages
15. Identify root pages with the most links to other root pages; many of these will be probably collective works with "flat" organisation — their component works are treated as root works.
16. "Same"
17. Multi-part articles should have next/prev in series links, and a root page that links to all parts
18. Find Page: namespace pages that don't have a corresponding index
19. Every translation listed on a translations page have a {{other translations}}link back to its translations page - DONE 18 July 2011
20. Check every {{other translations}} template points at a translations page - DONE 18 July 2011
21. No cross-namespace redirects
