| This is the Hot List of Mythology & Folklore topics which may be missing or incomplete in Wikipedia. It was created using several different encyclopedias/dictionaries as sources, but all decisions about what to include will be made by Wikipedians. |
For general help and tips please see the project guidelines, blue links can be removed after they are verified, many red links may just need to be redirected. Red links for articles that are unencyclopedic and can't be satisfactorily redirected can simply be moved to the "Unencyclopedic articles" section at the bottom of each list.
[edit] The lists
Numbers remaining include red links only, not unpruned blue links. All counts are accurate as of 21 March 2008 (EST)
- Tips for using:
- Entries that do not have any descriptive text, or are labelled "general mythology", are the most likely to be duplicates, and should be removed at will.
- Due to the nature of the entries, spelling variations and duplicates will be common. Variations should redirect to the most common form, such as that found on Google.
Mayan gods should have their own articles. Enochian entities should not.
