Many of the redlinks in the Wanted Links page are only referenced by usertalk pages - can these links be cleared out to shorten the Wanted page to just the pages that actually need to be made?

Also updated MO’s navbox, as I noticed I forgot to correctly name the editlink.
First draft of navbox for MO levels.

Yeah, fair enough – just seems strange to me that the template has to be manually listed. If it has to be done then oh well.
It depends if it’s performant as well though – juding by the CategoryTree documentation it’s not recommended for use in frequently used templates.
That’s part of CategoryTree , right?
It seems to output a category list which is helpful, but I can’t see how to change it so categories are output like:
Gabbit · Mudokon · Steef · etc
Instead of as separate lines.
Just gave it a try, seems like I don’t have the permission to do it.
While Wikia doesn't have a tool built in for that, there are third party tools and scripts that can do that sort of thing. ListPages seems to be what you're looking for.
Not bad, but can it be used to generate separators between the links as well?
I take it it’s a case of manually editing the link out of the usertalk page then – is that admin-only, or is it OK for other users to edit this? If I can do it, I’ll take a shot at going through the list.

Template:Navbox species - List of all known Oddworld species (including cut content) in alphabetical order, divided into Native, Industrial and Wildlife.
Just created a first pass for this: Template:Navbox species
I’m sure I’ve missed some off – shame Wikia doesn’t have a feature to generate a list for you based on a given category.
I’ll take a look at building some of the wanted navboxes over this weekend.
Sure:
I mean that the spelling mistake is in the game itself, not a spelling error on my part. The Exoddus cutscenes refer to Dripik as Dripek, which may have been an earlier name for the character and never fixed in the cutscene list?
Abe's Exoddus cutscene titles (excluding the credits etc):
OK, that makes sense.
I’ve removed the Transcripts category from all pages except the pages made to list all the Transcripts for each game, and I’ve marked those for deletion since the Cutscene tags replace their function.
I can’t find an online reference for the cutscene names, so I’ll have to fire up the games themselves to get an accurate list (I’m pretty sure you can get the cutscene player using a cheat in every game, and if not I probably have complete save files anyway).
I agree with giving them consistent names. I think the naming convention should be “Unique name (Game Cutscene)”, e.g. “Captured By Outlaws (Stranger's Wrath Cutscene)”. This would prevent any confusion as to what game each cutscene is from.
All cutscene pages have been tagged with Cutscenes and one of the following:
I didn’t want to remove any pre-existing tags until I had given everything its new tags; that’s now done.
I believe there’s also a couple of cutscenes missing pages, but until I get a complete list for every game I don’t know for sure.
Great, I’ll start rounding up all the existing pages and start renaming and recategorizing them to be consistent and fit with the new system – let me know when the infobox is ready and we can start adding it to them.
I’d like to start a discussion to help decide the best way to approach cutscenes and transcripts for cutscenes.
http://oddworld.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Cutscenes
http://oddworld.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Transcripts
Currently both of these categories are incomplete (SW cutscenes are definitely missing, and not every page contains a relevant video file), and many of the pages also are poorly formatted or have incorrect information.
I feel that there’s also a duplication issue here – the transcript pages are transcripts for cutscenes, but the cutscene pages also contain transcripts.
I would like to propose the following:
