User:Trialpears/book related things

There are 6,721 pages in the book namespace and around 51,627 user books.

The namespace as a whole is currently indexed and offered as an alternative when saving new books from Special:Book,

We have two main support pages with associated subpages, Books and Help:Books. There is also WikiProject Wikipedia-Books. Some WikiProjects support books as an assessment category. There is Proposed deletion (books), Manual of Style/Wikipedia books and Buying Wikipedia articles in print or another form as well.

Categorization should be limited to subcats of Category:Wikipedia books and Category:Wikipedia books (tracking and cleanup categories). There is also the emptyish tree Category:WikiProject Wikipedia-Books‎ and Category:Book-Class articles which has tons of empty categories. Also Category:All books proposed for deletion.

There are a handful book related templates, Book, Saved book, Nav book tool, PediaPressTicket, WikiProject Wikipedia-Books, Book-Class, User:WildBot/b01, Book-prod, Book-prod/dated, BPRODNote, BPRODWarning, Pp-book-cover, Wikipedia books on elements, book report and User WP Wikipedia-Books should be all.

User:Cyberbot I/Book Reports is currently running.

PediaPress can print Wikipedia books and link to a selection of books in the Book: namespace.

Not all of these will need action but they should probably be considered.
