Wanted Pages overview: 27,000 + red links are in the Wiki. Using Excel, these are being analyzed for:
#Source of the red links
#Does the info already exist in the Wiki?
#Set priorities
#Projects/assignments. In some cases, the link may need to be renamed or removed from several pages
#Increase awareness.
##Can also notify moderators, adopters, contributors
Some examples:
*[[Search the courts of the surrounding parishes]] (425 links) and [[Diocese of Not Applicable]] (427 links) These came from the [[Ramshope, Northumberland|Infobox]] posted on many parishes.
**The pages are needed, per Steve Cotrell
**Options:
***Create the page and explain more deeply. This explanation is needed, since the page name is confusing
***Train several people to unlink the explanation and create a "Learn More" link (which would be clearer, but definitely requires a lot of Wiki work.)
*Several are town pages wanted in the US:
**A project can be to identify if this is a county seat and if not, remove the link (but not the town name)
**There are a LOT of "wanted" town pages in the 27000 that have been downloaded. Excel will help us identify them (show entry 319)
