Perhaps in the future there will be one central place to edit the full list of anagrams of a set of letters. Or maybe Wikipedia will get better interwiki link handling first. But here we don't need a software fix; we simply need to use new templates such as <nowiki>{{anagrams:aaagmnrs}}</nowiki>. Since we already have a bot working on anagrams, why not use this method? --[[User talk:NE2|NE2]] 05:37, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

== Why again? ==

I was kindly pointed to this page by an editor answering my question at the [[WT:BP#Anagrams|Beer Parlour]]. I also happen to think that anagrams are a confusing waste of space.

Another point I was making is that if we really must live with this largely useless and overly prominent feature, it should be fully automated. Either anagrams are always "generated by a bot", or "users are free to add anagrams", and "You may include the alphagram" (yay, another useless automatable statistics to pollute the page!). What bot does this and how, and why would we allow manual intervention at all, if we trust what it's doing? Thanks.
