What DexDor does

Some of the things DexDor does:

Creating new categories (where they form part of an existing categorization scheme or are a good way to divide up an existing category) - e.g. subcategories of :Category:Firelighting, :Category:Military trucks by country.
Taking categories to CFD for deletion, renaming, listifying etc. Since 2013 DexDor has started over 500 discussions at CFD with 90% resulting in a change to the category/ies (as of October 2014).
Categorizing uncategorized articles and uncategorized categories.
Fixing incorrect categorization (e.g. talk pages and dab pages that are categorized as articles).
Tidying up disambiguation pages (applying rules such as MOS:DAB and WP:PTM). In particular, resisting the tendency for some dab pages to get excessive text, references etc and hence morph into articles.
Splitting articles - either because of the size of the article or because it is covering separate subjects (see WP:NAD).
Creating stub articles - mainly where the lack of an article meant that links were going to inappropriate articles or to a disambiguation page - e.g. Revetment (aircraft), Aircraft ordnance and First aid room.
Improving articles - e.g. adding a lede image, rewording per WP:REFERS.
Adding content to articles (e.g. Flight helmet, School of Ballooning).
Removing excessive detail and excessive images from articles.
Closing (WP:NAC) discussions - mainly at CFD.
Tidying up different namespaces etc - e.g. Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Talk:Wiki/User Talk:Synergisticalism and Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Talk:Kinan khan.
Developing templates - e.g. :Template:Aircraft_types_(by_method_of_thrust_and_lift).

And, of course, reverting non-constructive changes (e.g. vandalism).
