− I started to re-name a the whole lot of the [[:Category:Word of Blake Commands|Word of Blake Commands]], when I realized that the first five had absolutely no information within them, not even a reference for which Editors can seek to fill in the article. I'm one that believes redlinks are good, in that they indicate a need to an editor whom might just have the urge to scratch that itch. I also believe bluelinks that lead to empty articles are not good, in that they hide the fact that an article needs ''some'' information. Plus, my concern is if someone comes heres to research an article on their favorite command (say the [[25th Word of Blake Division]]), they may come to the erroneous conclusion that the wiki is full of empty articles (and then not come back). (I say this from my experience with the [http://www.btencyclopedia.com/ ComStar Historical Archives], which seem to be filled with named, but empty, articles.) + I started to re-name a the whole lot of the [[:Category:Word of Blake Commands|Word of Blake Commands]], when I realized that the first five had absolutely no information within them, not even a reference for which Editors can seek to fill in the article.

− So, I'm requesting comment to reach consensus: do we want to be focus on blue-linking all redlinks or do we want to establish a policy that requires all articles to have content (or risk deletion)?

:I have myself created articles with ''little'' content before, often on minor subjects where only a single source of information is available anyways. That, I (obviously) have no problem with. Another thing I have occasionally done is creating "placeholder" articles to remind me of something I wanted to do. :I have myself created articles with ''little'' content before, often on minor subjects where only a single source of information is available anyways.
