[edit] Wikipedia:Broken/ and subpages

This allpages link shows a small number of pages marked as 'broken'. While they do contain some weird unicode chars, they don't look all that broken to me. They are, however, abandoned and mostly pointless. Does anybody know what this is about? Radiant_>|< 22:29, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete unless explanation forthcoming, as useless. Xoloz 00:13, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
• I seem to remember brion mention that this would happen; I thought we had gotten rid of all of these. I believe these were broken when we converted en's metadata to Unicode during the upgrade to 1.5. These should be converted to pages without the "Broken/", unless there's an existing page with duplicative content, in which case they can be deleted. Most of them are archival, and should not be deleted outright, it looks like. And they will need to have their character issues fixed; just slap them with a cleanup tag if neccessary. -- Beland 22:08, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
