The list appears inaccurate or not up to date. The crossed out Places in Afghanistan has far more than 33 red links! KBi 01:53, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

So true. This page needs serious updating. Actually, a new version should be generated, since this is based on April '06 data. Could someone with the ability/authority do that, pleeeeeease? --Ebyabe 16:29, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I second (third?) that. How else can a page that is itself redlinked contain 764 redlinks? ;) Shymian (talk) 09:28, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No problem - done. - TB (talk) 16:41, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"List of" screen not good enough.[edit]

Can someone please make it so that it also checks the pages' categories for "List of" before adding them? Currently, most if not all of the articles listed under the list section are, in fact, lists. Checking category links would probably identify at least half of them as lists, as well as other cues too. These can then be moved to the /Lists subpage to make room for a larger, more comprehensive list(hint hint).--vgmddg (look | talk | do) 21:16, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated this report again. I'd agree fully with vgmddg that the old method of detecting lists is very crude and could be easily improved upon. Alas, time does not permit right now (just become a dad for the third time). I'll try and sort something out for next time. - TB (talk) 09:27, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Update[edit]

Has this project been abandoned? It appears the list hasn't been updated in more than four years. -- Mikeblas (talk) 14:39, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There certainly don't appear to be many Wikipedia editors that are very active on this Project, but there are a few related Wikipedia pages that are routinely updated with a listing of the latest or "most popular" articles on Wikipedia that have a lot of red links associated with them...like: Wikipedia:Most-wanted_articles & User:West.andrew.g/Popular_redlinks for example.

Advice Wanted[edit]

I intend to attempt a gradual clearing of this page by removing all the lists that should not be in this list (will take a very long time). Anyway I am not sure if all lists should be removed from this list or only lists explicitly beginning with List of. Thank you for any response. Matz44 04:59, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
