The following lists of tasks need to be handled with varying levels of frequency.

Daily

  • Requests page:
    • Check the page and its talk page for any issues.
    • Archive completed requests (normally done by a bot, 24 hours after an appropriate tag is placed).
    • Move any conversations to the Requests talk page. Respond as appropriate.
  • Drives and blitzes:
    • If a backlog elimination drive or blitz is in progress, update its daily totals at 00:00 UTC, or as close to that time as possible.
  • Other daily tasks:

At least once a month

Monthly

  • (One week before the end of even-numbered months) Use {{GOCE-new-drive-page}} to create a page for the next drive.
  • (One week before the start of a blitz) Use {{GOCE-new-blitz-page}} to create a page for the next blitz.
  • (First day of the month) Add a month header (e.g. ==June 2016==) to the bottom of the Requests page
  • (First day of the month) Update the monthly progress box.
  • (First day of the month) Open or close the active drive or blitz, including taking a screen shot of the backlog status (at the close of a drive) and putting it on the drive page. See these instructions.
  • Compile totals and give out awards for all Guild events.
  • Delete (or request G6 speedy deletion for) old, empty monthly category pages (if a bot hasn't gotten around to it).
  • Update the Blitzes tab or the Drives tab to link to the current drive or blitz.

Quarterly (March, June, September, and December)

  • Prepare and update newsletters to inform members of impending or ongoing events, drive and blitz results, election notices and results, and any other relevant happenings.

Twice per year (in May–June and November–December)

Annually (in early January)

Annually (in February)

  • (After the February blitz:) Update the year in Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/BlitzIntro.
  • (After the February blitz:) Merge the quarterly tables in the previous year's Requests page into a single table for better sorting. Sort each column to check dates for typos.

Annually (in December)
