Hi Jeff (switching topic back to the thread about TAFI), Coin945 (who posted these suggestions) is now subscribed to this list and can thus answer your question directly. But I think the matter was simply that the drafts had been copied over from Wikipedia to Meta without adjusting links, e.g. the first one was intended to link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedy_horror instead of https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comedy_horror&action=edit&redlink=1 .
