I found this list fascinating. I see that you left off the headings that only occur once; I would suspect that these will mostly be strange typos that will likely need fixing. Eclecticology 23:50, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Oops, I was wrong. Many are from the Webster 1913 pages. Eclecticology 00:12, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

In fact there were more one-off headings than all the others combined! The full list was too large for Wiki to handle. I can email it to you if you like. — Hippietrail 02:15, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

No thanks! An understanding of the situation is enough at this point. The headings on the Webster pages were intentional, but with a long term view that they were temporary. The list of one-off headings would only be useful if it exclude entries from pages whose title begins with "Webster 1913" Eclecticology 17:30, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Lest common 2000?[edit]

In the spirit of Special:shortpages, could you generate links for words of the least common 2,000 entries? Updated semi-annually perhaps? --Connel MacKenzie 08:07, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

That's not a bad idea but unfortunately my current computer is the biggest lemon I've owned in the 23 years I've had computers. A few days ago I lost the motherboard, CPU, and hard drive. The drive is now in the shop where they're trying to recover any data they can. There's a very old version of the script in one of the HippieBot pages but it couldn't do very much. )-: — Hippietrail 10:31, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
