*What have I forgotten on this list?

It is no bad thing, from a techie-linguist aspect, to have hits on WP from 
Google for as many odd strings as possible - within proper encyclopedic use, 
that is.  I would never advocate posting junk.  But, when I put up a list of 
books titles that, for example, contains 'mimiambs'  (of Herodas, of course, 
as you all know full well), I do feel that another tiny corner of Google 
search has been tipped WP's way.  This admittedly is more an argument for 
having lists of Pokemon-clone characters, rather than having an article per 
Pokemon.  But in the end it's much the same: put things on the site, the 
popular ones will get red links, then blue.
