[edit] Suggestions.

This is an incomplete list. It may not be up to date, not yet completed or, depending on its nature, it may be that it can never be complete. However, new and revised entries in the list are always welcome.

[edit] Redirect

I reverted the redirect to Template:listdev. I'm not sure why Netoholic made the redirect, but here's my justification for reverting. There was a discussion several months ago about list template overlap (I don't recall where it was at the moment), and this template was created specifically to address the problem of robust lists that could not, by their nature, be considered complete. listdev is more suited to sparse lists that we're trying to encourage people to build up. — Jeff Q (talk) 03:19, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wording

What does "can or may" mean? - Nat Krause 04:22, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

My thoughts exactly. I understand what they're trying to say, but the "can" seems unnecessarily, since "may" includes that idea (that it's possibly impossible) already. -Silence 22:25, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Edit link

How about making the phrase revisions and additions into an edit this page link, similar to what has been done with {{Incomplete list}} and the various stub templates. Like this:


This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy certain standards for completeness. Revisions and additions are welcome.


The only problem I can see is that adding the little arrow symbol pushes the word 'welcome' on to the next line. This might be resolved with a bit of rewording -- Gurch 15:49, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Grammar

"This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy certain standards for completeness"

Should that comma be there? My gut tells me that the comma is misplaced TheHYPO 11:04, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Relf reference

I've split this onto two lines. The second line is a self reference as it assumes the list is editable. I've marked the text as a {{selfref}} so mirror sites can hide the text. See WP:ASR. --h2g2bob (talk) 01:49, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
