Frostly updated the task description. (Show Details)

Courtesy note: I'm recruiting the help of Rexo as well for this. Some notes that may be helpful for all:

redirects don't need to be moved, sometimes it's best to change the title a bit (e.g. shorten them, edit them to update Wikipedia current terminology, meet [[mw:Inclusive language]], etc), and if you need any clarification, feel free to ask!

I have spelunked through the Signpost omni-index (which I also set up, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Omni-index ) and cleared out (almost) all the bullshit. By my count, there were nearly a thousand pages, ranging from obsolete never-used redirects, to pagemove detritus from publishing errors, to templates that were created and never actually written, to deprecated templates with literally a single transclusion. They are all gone now: I am in the process of documenting what's going on at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Technical
