Notable list categories

Incomplete lists

Because of DGR Wiki's role as an almanac and gazetteer as well as an encyclopedia, it contains a large number of lists. Some lists are complete and unlikely to change for a long time.

Other lists are missing entries and are called incomplete lists. Incomplete lists should be preceded by the incomplete list template.

Dynamic lists

Some lists are intentionally inexhaustible, only listing notable examples from a given category. These are known as "dynamic lists" and should be preceded by the dynamic list template.

Members

A list of participants can be found in the WikiProject Lists participants category.
