Tao alexis (talk) 22:26, 29 October 2023 (UTC) Hey, if you want a real nightmare to tackle, I have one for you. There are 3,822 wanted links that haven't been made into a page. A great many of these are near duplicates of one another (for example, there's a link for "The Barony of Yak'Margug" and "The Barony of Yak-Margug"). One is wrong ("Yak'Margug" is correct). There are ones like "Rat Catcher" and "Rat Catcher (profession)" — the latter is correct. Some are errored links for existing pages: "Read & Write" is a wanted link for example, where the correct would be "Read & Write (sage ability)".
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."
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. It's your choice if you want to wade in ... the process is both important and mind-wrecking. Your choice. I'll be here if you want to throw "which is right?" questions at me.
