I do not understand why de.WS does not want to mark empty pages as
'Without text'; that sounds like a different issue, and one which
would distort statistics. Perhaps a de.WS contributor could explain
the reason in a new thread; maybe we can learn from de.WS, or agree to
disagree.
Marking empty pages as "fertig" (=done) is/was simply a convenient way
to
announce that
the pages in question don't need further work. De.ws has handled empty pages
like this
for a long time, way before the introduction of PR2.
It's not a ploy to inflate statistics. I don't think this thought ever
occurred to any of us
and it would be kind of useless too. The number of empty pages isn't that
high.
Personally, I don't mind a new category for empty pages. But I don't really
like naming it
"without text". Often there is text, it's just text we don't need.
