I am a big fan of red links, and would like to encourage everyone to use them:

  • Red links are an incentive for new users to create their first article.
  • The occurence of the same red link in many articles shows that there is need for a certain article. They then show up in lists such as Wikipedia:CHESS/Most_Wanted
  • When writing a new article, the button "what links here" gives an idea on what information is needed on the subject.
  • When a new article has been created, all red links turn automatically blue! No need to edit all articles containing your subject to create links

Chess articles which need work

  • List of chess periodicals - get rid of the table format; lots of good work to do here
  • Bio's on all chess players ever in the top 100 FIDE
  • Create missing national championships: Chess around the world
  • Important tournaments: See User:Quale, Bugojno chess tournament, OHRA chess tournament, Rashid Nezhmetdinov Memorial, Carlsbad chess tournament, Ostend international chess tournament, Essent chess tournament, Anatoly Karpov chess tournament, Alexander Alekhine Memorial, Bilbao chess tournament and already in polish wikipedia: Banja Luka chess tournament, Bosna chess tournament, Malaga Open chess tournament, Boris Kostić Memorial, Józef Dominik Memorial, Józef Kochan Memorial, Tadeusz Gniota Memorial, Vasja Pirc Memorial, NATO chess tournament, Montreal chess tournament, Pamplona chess tournament (Ciudad de Pamplona), Poikovsky chess tournament, Politiken CUP (Copenhagen Chess Festival), Rilton Cup, Sigeman & Co chess tournament.
