* Look at dictionary entries, if they contain another Tibetan word or expression, do a lookup, if it's available, make a link to this word from the page where the word of expression resides.
* Find links in pages and point them at the main site, for example, if you find a single word such as Sakya, make a link to [[Sakya]]. Do a global search to find a suitable entry. Learn the wikimedia page name|string notation to do clean redirects, for example [[Sakya|Sakya tradition]].
