But I assume they have to be put on there manually, so it would be the same (or less because I doubt people who don't finish articles would go the extra mile to put them on a list) effort to just make sure they don't stay on any lists. So long as they're singular articles and not on a list, they don't seem to take up space. Two points I'd like to make here:


 * Space - We once tried to move the wiki off of Wikia. It would have been an easy thing if it weren't for the fact that this site was nearly 80GB in size at the time. That's too big for some site about people's fan characters. It's nuts. If I combined 100 of my customers' websites, it still wouldn't come close to that size.


 * Lists - The MediaWiki software includes a category function that you're probably familiar with. Most of these articles are already marked with categories that we all use, such as or . Go on the first page and click through some of the listed pages. Count how many unfinished pages you see.
