A couple of years back, it must have been, I remember someone talking about having a category of "redlink articles"; pages of people's own articles-to-get-around-to worklists. I don't know if it's still there, but this might be just what you want.
(If you manage to find one, I'll write you a redlink list to go in it)
A dedicated category would be a good idea.

+1 Oh wait: [[Category:Red list]] is already there, since May 2006...
Also, if you have a page with a long, "mixed" red-and-blue list of articles, and you want to get rid of the blue ones:

That's the one!
Now to find my old list of topics. I think it's probably saved in a local file somewhere...

Cool.
One random query - does anyone know of a tool (or a simple trick) to find all the links on a page which are redirects?
I have a page listing all the articles I wrote, and of late have been using the linked recent changes rather than the watchlist. Unfortunately, a lot of these pages have since been moved, and so the linked recent changes just sees an uninteresting redirect page rather than the relevant article...
Manually going through all mumblemanyhundred of these to find the redirects is fairly daunting; a shortcut would be appreciated, if anyone knows of one :-)

The best option would be to make the recent changes page follow the redirect. I'll take a look and see if it's easily doable.

I've commit a patch to do it - hopefully Brion will accept it...
