About

edit

This is an index of lists of red links for WikiProject Women in Red. Each link on the lists is a woman, or a work created by a woman, that may qualify for an article on the English Wikipedia.

Symbols used in this index:

  • (CS) — Crowd-sourced list — These lists are fully editable; additions are welcome and encouraged!
  • (WD) — List compiled from Wikidata — These lists are periodically updated by a bot, so do not need editing themselves. However, if you would like to add or correct the data of people at Wikidata, please do!
  • (L) — Large file — A Wikidata list with more than ~1500 entries; it may take longer to open than most.

A list of the 1000 women with the highest number of links in Wikidata to sister sites (other language Wikipedias, Wikispecies, Wikisource, etc.) is kept up to date by a bot.

We also have a guide to adding names to redlists.

Alphabetical (most frequently redlinked)

edit

These subpages list titles having five or more incoming redlinks which begin with a feminine given name and resemble the format of a full name. Titles linked via templates are excluded, and links from annual articles (e.g. 1998 Sportsball Qualifiers) are not counted. They include false positives for given names with other meanings: the software lacks the intelligence to realise that May Rebellion is less relevant than May Robinson. The list is split between several pages because runs for the whole alphabet or longer ranges fail by timing out. There is a link on each page to rerun its query. M and S will need to be split, like A and C, as may L and T. Other letters should complete in a single run, like B.
