Untitled discussion 1

What is the point of this list? Does it serve some purpose that is not better met by Category:Optics?? An alphabetical list that needs to be manually maintained does not seem very useful when we have an automatically-maintained list organized topically. It might have been more useful when there were more red links, but there are very few left.--Srleffler 03:01, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm wondering the same thing. Shouldn't Category:Optics just be fixed.Gfutia 07:26, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
