IMHO a simple table, maybe even a wikitable, would suffice for the initial iteration. We can get much more fancy later. Of course, if Infoboxes/Persondata on these Wikipedias were to use some Lua magic, biographies with e.g. mismatching birthdates could automatically be added to a maintenance

Sorry to digress into minutiae, but as a note. The maintenance category idea may have a subtle flaw, I suspect wikidata data updates won't update said maintenance category until the corresponding Wikipedia page is purged/rerendered. --Joe www.joedecker.net On Aug 19, 2014, at 3:41, Magnus
