- That's an awesome metric. I don't know what I didn't think of that. Should be a very useful list. I'm just thinking now of more similar metrics... something like sentences to bulleted entries... or something similar. Shadowjams (talk) 09:22, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
- By the way, do you want people to remove, or strike entries as they're fixed? Shadowjams (talk) 09:24, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
- I guess if they're fixed there's not much point in leaving them in. Josh Parris 10:06, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
Next time I run this, I ought to exclude/disclose the number of links. NVM is a dab page with one (or maybe two) entries. Josh Parris 10:13, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
- Not sure how much granularity you have, but separating pages with < 2 links would be relevant (although probably mostly deletion or redirects). Perhaps a metric about blue to red links would be interesting. These are just ideas though. The better work is spent on dealing with the very good list you put together.

- Don't exclude for small# of lks, tho it may (i haven't done any numbers) be worth estimating the typical overhead common to any Dab due to headings and footers and using a linear criterion rather than straight proportion, to get a somewhat lower ratio of false hits. And i presume you're aware of the short-page monitor/dummy-comment scheme that keeps minimal Dabs from clogging the list of short pages.

- There may be some value also in indicating how much text there is inside those links, as opposed to outside them. Some pages have excessive text because the links themselves are very long (especially where they are links to long-titled sections of long-titled pages). bd2412 T 02:00, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
