If you edit often, check out To Do for tasks that need to be accomplished.
See Wanted Pages for a list of non-existing pages, Stub Pages for pages that need more information, or Orphaned Pages for pages that need to be linked from someplace. If you are looking for ideas for things to add, check out the daviswiki — because, well, it's awesome.
