Yeah. I can't help but feel that there ought to be an organised front
end to all of this, though. Like a committee that says "There shall be
a "Religion in X" article for every country. The list of countries is
stored [[here]]. Redirects of the following forms will be set up for
every country..."
I mean I know Wikipedia isn't run top-down, but would it hurt to have
a little management? Or should I say "leadership".
That's exactly what we have wikiprojects for! Perfect textbook example
of a good role for them - organising coverage on a specific subject,
getting the infrastructure (names, redirects) in place that they can
then come back and work on content
It doesn't need a project; one sufficiently motivated individual can
populate a matrix of needed stubs rapidly by hand, for n up to 100 or
so.
