I think it is a great idea to have specific red-link-lists for edit-a-thons or other short-term GLAM collaborations with Wikipedia. There is no set of rules about this, and placing topics on a "missing topics" list is no guarantee that it will ever be created, or if it does, that the topic will be created with that specific spelling. Having the list is more about giving a handout to people who like to work from lists, and Wikipedia has a lot of those. I would put the list on Wikipedia, with or without links out to the information on your website.

Oh, thanks I forgot about those views. When there is a local
edit-a-thon at a GLAM I'm thinking it would still be useful to have a
context-specific list. That way people could go photograph items, and
ask questions of reference staff, etc while they work on their
article. Another big reason why sharing these discordances outside of
Wikipedia is important is that it shows real (practical) institutional
support for Wikipedia.
Again, I'm sorry if this has come up before. I think I might be
playing catchup on a conversation that already happened.
