- Goal #1: add names to Wikipedia:List of missing Africa topics
- Goal #2: point each individual African-country WikiProject at the relevant section of that list, since it will have a lot of new entries in it.
- Goal #3: add names to Wikipedia:List of encyclopedia topics
- Open task: scan bluelinks for links to disambigs / non-people articles (eg places with same name), and generate appropriate placeholders of the form [[Name (person, Country)]]
- Open task: generate search links for
redlinks andthese disambig bluelinks.
See also User:The Anome/Names in the Dictionary of African Biography/Redlinked women only for a more focused list of only articles on women which are currently redlinked.
- Open task: merge that list into Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's History/Requested articles.
