Digital weeding and watering

A bunch of jobs to keep my digital garden in good health.

Perhaps this kind of tidying up also acts as a kind of Spaced repetition? In that it nudges me to come back to nodes I may have otherwise forgotten about.

1. Orphans

Pages with no incoming or outgoing links.

I usually only create pages by linking from another page, so these are usually erroneous, historical mishaps, etc, and generally do need fixing in some way.

Note that we ignore incoming links from this page.

2. Introverts

Pages with no outgoing links. [Does it matter if a page has no outgoing links?]

I have a lot of these, so I'll just put the top 42 here.

3. Exiles

Pages with no incoming links. [Does it matter if a page has no incoming links?]

Note that we ignore incoming links from this page.

4. Things without claims

Podcasts, articles, etc, where I haven't yet made a claim.

5. Empty pages / stubs

I don't have a good way of querying for this just yet.

6. Pages that haven't been edited for a long time

I don't have a good way of querying for this just yet.

7. Review

This has been very useful already.

I've found:

  • pages that were using old file: links (e.g. Praxis)
  • duplicate nodes (e.g. Philsophize This).
  • pages that I'm interested in, but just had never had time to write anything about (e.g. climate action)
  • mistakenly created pages

And it has been fun to revisit various older pages in the process.
