The Wikipedia Project Becomes More Complicated

It turns out that when you add pages that have only one or two links IN to the page, some eager beavers add an “orphan” tag which doesn’t threaten the existence of the page, but makes it look unprofessional and blocks the top of the page.

In order to fix this, other pages need to be created that link back and forth.

For instance, creation of a Dong-in Literature award page would allow the authors to be linked back and forth. In fact creation of a page for each literary award would eliminate the orphan tags AND create more content about Korean literature on the web.

But it’s a lot of work…. needs volunteers or money. ^^

Anyone listening?
