MEA is basically an attempt not so much to create a central listing as
to provide a place where you can try and come up with lists we don't
have yet or can be sure of finding one to work on ;-)

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)
