	There's a way of copying the whole list into word to clear some of the formatting, then into excel so it can be sorted, and near-errors more easily identified and fixed.

		+	[[User:Maxwell\|Maxwell]] ([[User talk:Maxwell\|talk]]) 22:57, 29 October 2023 (UTC) I'm willing to wade into this at some point, but not just yet. Good point about clearing and sorting to help identify near errors.

 The problem, of course, is knowing which one is right and which one is wrong.  Obviously, anything that's a bad link for an existing page is easy to fix.  I've changed my mind too many times about how to title geographical regions.  As I've been moving forward on this review, I'm correcting links that have the political title: "The Barony of Yak'Margug" should just be "Yak'Margug."  "Kubanistan, Emirate of" should just be "Kubanistan."
