There are 12,184 pages on this wiki right now.

What are we doing to control this?

Well, it seems like enough. We give special attention to newly-posted pastas. We put them in the Marked for Review category and we have several filters to prevent the trollpastas, really crappy pastas, and some of the mediocre pastas from becoming a part of that body of 12,184.

But it's not enough.

Even if we put filters on the incoming pastas so that only the good pastas stay on, there are a bunch of not-so-great pasta here that were posted before we put any of the filters up. Cases in point:

Alone on the Blank Slate - Theory of Scray - Why I Don't Go Outside - The Boy Who Became - Sensations in the Dark - Demitri's Journal - Holder of Numbness

The point of this post was, as the title said, to come up with ideas to get rid of the really awful pastas that reflect poorly on the site, fix the fixer uppers, and in general improve the quality of the site in general and make it easier for someone to come on, read a few fine pastas, and not spend a half an hour finding those few fine pastas.
