• Add grammatical usage - This strategy looks for works that have no grammatical category and then presents the user with this filtered list of words so they can add grammatical categories to words that are not in a category
• Add examples - This strategy looks for meanings without example sentences and then presents the user with this filtered list of meanings so they can add example sentences to meanings that do not have one.
