What are clean-up questions?

Clean-Up Questions

When working in the alternates of a Q&A, it can sometimes become rather difficult to wade through a huge list of alternates. It often requires several passes through the alternate wordings list which can be very time consuming when the alternates lists are as huge as our catch-all questions (in the thousands).

This is why many of our supervisors have created themselves a clean-up question. Dealing with alternates in smaller loads in order to distribute them into their proper homes is much quicker and easier. The question can be moved from category to category to split off loads of alternates in the right category and manipulated for alternate distribution as needed.

Please use the format "What are [username]'s questions?" or "What are [username] questions?" for personal clean-up questions and place them in Harmful Questions to Delete. Provide in the answer of the question that it is your working clean-up question and protect it. Protecting it will keep users from being able to split off your alternates while you are working with them and will keep users from inappropriately "answering" your question.

This will keep the catch-all questions category clean and prevent deletion of these clean-up questions.

Since these questions are housed in Harmful Questions to Delete, it is extremely important that your clean-up question follows this format so that Admins will recognize it and will not delete it from the database.

Admins: Do not delete any supervisor clean-up questions without first consulting the supervisor who owns it.
