Is this page meant to be a list of caves for which there are wiki pages to link to? That would make sense, otherwise it would just be a meaningless list of names. I understand that it is a work-in-progress and that even stubs take time to create, but it seems to me that caves could be added that hardly deserve mention and are never going to have their own page. There are a few of these already. Should there be an explanatory line added under the title, e.g. "List of Caves: significant caves of the world, by country"? Or am I OTL??Ian mckenzie 03:13, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

• Category collect pages that already exists. Lists allow the addition of pages not yet written (but that should be). Some caves probably exists which do not deserve a separate article and might only be mentioned here. Rmhermen 03:16, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

I guess my concern is that there are hundreds of thousands of named caves in the world, and there is nothing to tell users to restrict their additions to ones that are worthy.Ian mckenzie
