Others I tried from the first page share the same problem. It's in a project-specific to-do list - for a fairly minor project, as these things go, but even a smallish project on enwiki has a lot of articles! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Northern_Ireland_tasks (If anyone's wondering, Alison Clarke is the former Miss Northern Ireland, engaged to marry a prominent sportsman, and thus presumably something of a minor local celebrity. I make no comment on notability.) For future research on redlinks, it would definitely be worth distinguishing between "links in article text" and "links from projectspace / inline templates". Technically more difficult to figure out, of course, but that's why we call them researchers ;-) -- - Andrew Gray andrew.g...@dunelm.org.uk _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
