Thus if we were to use the Library of Congress letter classifications (which has the benefit of being usable without reinventing the wheel)
You might also want to throw in a few Wikipedia-specific classifications, such as "disambiguation page" or "article list" (to handle all the year articles, list-of-blanks articles, etc). These could be handy for future use by fancy queries and such (eg, searching for disambiguation articles that don't link to the [[disambiguation]] page or getting a more accurate count of "real" articles).
