This page tracks tasks that I want to accomplish on Wikipedia, including backlogs I monitor. Others are welcome to help tackle them; please let me know what you do. If you are new to Wikipedia and/or simply interested to help remove red links and aren't sure where to begin, let me know and I'd be happy to make suggestions of topics to work on!

Dream tasks

maybe a simple script to do this?
learn to make cool svg graphics like User:Shyamal/svgimg does
try writing a bot (see, e.g., User:HBC AIV helperbot/source)

maybe can attack some maintenance category
could be useful for other wikis to prevent spam, etc.
