I also think that we can use a bot to move [[list of
X]] to [[X]],
where X doesn't already exist, mark that article as a category
([[type=category]]), and add ([[category=X]]) to any links in a list
on that page.
We don't want to do this!
[[List of presidents of the United States]]
and [[President of the United States]]
are quite different articles, but both are encyclopedic.
(That is, neither was created just to help ''us'' write Wikipedia,
in contrast to [[List of biology topics]].)
We started the [[List of ...]] naming convention in part
to help distinguish these articles naturally.
