Main namespace
These give a basic main page, a current events page (linked from the sidebar on the standard setup) and a redirect from the commonly used "sandbox" page.


 * Main Page
 * Current events
 * Sandbox (redirect)
 * remove. cross-namespace redirects are bad.

Project pages
Many of these are linked to from the standard system messages. For example, "Adminstrators" is a link that is given automatically to a user when they are blocked. This determined most of the choices in this section.


 * Project:About
 * Obvious enough what to put here, so not essential. AB
 * Project:Administrators
 * Useful so I don't get 1000 messages on my talk page from people wanting to be admins. This explains how they can set up their own procedures for that. AB
 * Project:Community Portal
 * Keep if this is linked from the sidebar still. AB
 * Project:Copyrights
 * Essential. Linked from every edit page. AB
 * Project:General disclaimer
 * Remove as I don't think this is linked anymore. The main one is on central and the terms of use are linked in the footer. AB
 * Project:Policy
 * Useful and linked from lots of pages (eg - when you delete a page it says to see this page). AB
 * Project:Protected page
 * This is linked from protected oages, but would be better in the help namespace. AB
 * Project:Sandbox
 * Useful thing that exists on many wikis and is linked from the help. AB
 * Project:Simplified Ruleset
 * Useful, but could be moved to help namespace. AB
 * Project:Mailing list
 * Remove if we're not doing mailing lists by default anymore. AB
 * Project:Privacy policy
 * Not needed since terms of use are linked in footer. AB
 * Project:Protected titles
 * Required for the page blocking feature. Admins unlikely to know what to put here for themselves. Important anti-spam tool. AB

Help Pages
This was designed to be a basic help-set, giving the minimum needed for a new wiki.


 * Presumably, this will all come from the new help wiki instead so can be deleted? AB

Templates
There are a few basic administrative templates here ("delete" and "Wikipedia"), templates for the forums, templates needed for the main page structurs ("box1 start" etc.) and copyright tagging templates.


 * Template:Delete
 * Keep. People often expect this to work when they're patrolling across wikis. AB
 * Template:Wikipedia
 * Keep. Many people copy stuff from WP and this makes it easy for them to attribute it properly. AB
 * Template:Wikipedia-deleted
 * Less useful than the one above, but still many wikis can benefit from saving articles from deletion at WP.
 * Template:Maintop
 * Used on the main page to make it easier for newbies to edit without seeing the complicated stuff in here. AB
 * Template:Box1 start
 * Used on the main page as above. AB
 * Template:New article box
 * Used on the main page as above. AB
 * Template:Box2 start
 * Used on the main page as above. AB
 * Template:Boxes end
 * Used on the main page as above. AB
 * Template:Forumheader/Help desk
 * Needed for the forums to work. AB
 * Template:Forumheader/Watercooler
 * Needed for the forums to work. AB
 * Template:Forumheader
 * Needed for the forums to work. AB
 * Template:!
 * Needed for many other templates to work. AB
 * Template:Category
 * Template:Sandbox
 * Not totally needed. The text could go on the sandbox instead. AB
 * Template:Stub
 * Often used template that Wikipedians expect to see. AB
 * Template:Welcome
 * Useful in encouraging welcoming behaviour. AB
 * Template:WelcomeIP
 * Personally, I don't see the point in welcoming IPs. AB
 * Template talk:Welcome
 * Needed for explanation of this template. AB
 * Needed for explanation of this template. AB

Copyright tags

 * These are needed for the drop down licenses in special:Upload to work. The flickr ones are needed for special:Importfreeimages to work and can't be removed (else all flickr images would not be atributed). One solution would be to move all of these to the MW namespace so they can be edited from a central location instead of having them as templates. This will require small changes to the upload and importfreeimages tools though. AB


 * Template:PD
 * Template:Attribution
 * Template:CopyrightedFreeUse
 * Template:CopyrightedFreeUseProvidedThat
 * Template:GFDL
 * Template:GPL
 * Template:cc-by
 * Template:cc-sa
 * Template:cc-by-sa
 * Template:Fairuse
 * Template:No license
 * Template:Flickr4
 * Template:Flickr5

Categories
These are categories used on other pages, or which would be generated by using one of the templates provided.


 * I don't think most wikis care about categorizing images by copyright license, so the license ones are not really necessary. Please sort out from these which ones are needed to make the forums work. AB

Forum pages
A basic forum set up.


 * Keep all of these since it's unlikely most wikis will get their own phpbb forum any time soon. AB


 * Forum:Index
 * Forum:Help desk
 * Forum:Watercooler
 * Forum:Welcome to the help desk
 * Forum:Welcome to the watercooler
 * (see also Image, Category and Template)

Images
"Example.jpg" is used on the image help page, "forum new.gif" on the forum index.


 * Keep since in use on forums and help pages. AB


 * Image:Example.jpg
 * Image:Forum new.gif

User Pages
Intended to explain strange edits by Wikia scripts, and to introduce the Community Team


 * Keep all. Useful to explain who these random people (and non-people) are who are editing your new wiki! AB
