adding "Fix Me" tags to wiki to mark fail?

Anyone knows how that would be done?
ie in
http://springrts.com/wiki/Map,_Game,_An ... tats_files all links are dead.

I thought it would be nice to put in some tag like [[FixMe]] and then all pages marked with that would show in some special page. Is that possible? Maybe a category?
Even better would be being able to add a description like [[FixMe: dead download links]]

you should find all files on springfiles.com... so please fix the links instead of marking it broken. (the time to mark it broken should be nearly the same...)

yea probally could have done that. but springfiles search timed out and somehow wasnt in the mood :roll:
Saw you added links for scriptor+cobbler, i found a link for servo now.

Anyway the question wasnt so much where to find these programs, that was just an example. But sometimes I encounter things in the wiki like this page (i clicked "random page" srslywtf)

Now at the end of this page the formula for Survival Rate: seems to be missing. As I have no idea about eggs, I cant add it. But it would be good to be able to mark it somehow so egg expecters know they their input is needed.
I dont know what wiki offers for that... [category:FixMe] maybe? But you can not add a description of the error when using that...

about http://springrts.com/wiki/Newtons_Laws_ ... nservation

maybe a {{delete}} fits best there.

other tags i know about: {{deprecated}} {{historical}} {{NeedsReview}}

see also http://springrts.com/wiki/Special:Categories
maybe this answered your question?

yes i know about categories. (if {{bla}} is just a different way to write [category:bla])
noticed its possible to add a description ie
{{delete|off topic, has nothing to do with spring}}
and that text will show in the red box at top.
But at that text is not shown at the categories page.
So its possible to add ie {{NeedsReview|missing download link for XY}} but there is no place where all these additional texts can be seen?

Also why does http://springrts.com/wiki/Category:Delete list the CEG and COB pages?
(why as in "why should they be deleted?" and also why as in "why are they listed, they have no {{delete}} in them")
