(in Inglis) Tasks for those not confident in their Scots

• Adding references to articles that don't have any / need more.
• Adding images to articles.
• Removing unnecessary redlinks.
• Checking redlinked categories to see if they need to be created / deleted if they're unnecessary (there's quite a few have been taken over from en.wiki that aren't appropriate to sco.wiki's current size, for example.)
