Just like our wiki, this room really could use some clean up.

While many articles and images are in top shape, many of them need to be cleaned up. Out of around 740 articles from the main namespace (not including redirects and disambiguation pages), the wiki has around 450 "safe", "good or "featured" articles, around 285 articles to clean up, and a few waiting to be reviewed after being cleaned up.

Articles not considered "safe", "good or "featured" are considered to be cleaned up by default, and have the "clean up" template on top. Normal users are not allowed to remove it without notice and must submit the article to an administrator (either on his talk page or on the Projects talk page) for review (disregarding this will result in a block). When the review is acknowledged and then pending, the "clean up" template will be replaced by the "cleaned up" one. After review, the "safe", "good" or "featured" status will finally be applied.

In a nutshell, every single article from the main namespace must be in one (and only one) of the 5 following categories: "safe", "good", "featured", "to clean up" or "cleaned up".

As for the images (see the complete list), most of the time the screenshot must be remade from scratch. Around 45 images from Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar are still of very poor quality, being based on poor scans. Better scans are uploaded from time to time, and the remaining poor quality images can be found in this category.

The Portal series has a specific Project, that works with a different system that will be applied here in the future (it goes into more detail on what's done and what's left to do). Regardless of this separate project, all Portal-related articles that need cleanup are also listed here.
