:I concur, MediaWiki made this [[Special:Deadendpages|page]] special for a reason. A red link or no link is better than a dead-end link.--[[User:OmniMediaGroup|OmniMediaGroup]] 16:59, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

::I'm wondering if we should add [[Attribute:date|date]] tags within articles that reference dates and then run ASK queries from the date entry side. Most of the pages displayed in the dead-end report have links ''to them''; it's the outbound links that are missing. Rather than manually create links back out, ASK is great for automating this task if the respective inbound pages have been appropriately tagged. [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 17:24, 12 March 2007 (PDT)
:::Date listings like [[December 20]] are hard-coded, so it's a real problem trying to add tags at the ''report level''. That is, each of the events, and person births & deaths should have respective date tags at the '''''source level'''''.
:::Then, one could merely run an ASK by year to get detailed days, or run an ASK by day to get the respective years. This would solve a lot of dead end page problems, and begin to address some of the WP hard-coding problems. I'm wondering if a bot could be written to automate this task, or outsource it to India. (Or just leave it alone for now.) [[User:Snerfling|Snerfling]] 17:42, 12 March 2007 (PDT)
