== Automatic Requested Articles? ==

On [[Special:Recentchanges]], near the top, there are two grey (for me) lines of text for [[Wikipedia:Requested_articles]]. One reads "Requests" and the other reads "Request types." (I'm getting into the habit of creating stubs from these.) Are these somehow automatically generated on this special page? If not, how do they appear on the special page? Currently, there's a request for [[amae]], a non-existent article that only appears referenced from [[Special:Recentchanges]]. So- how did it get onto the Recent Changes page without appearing on Requested Articles?

Any shed light is appreciated. [[User:Rossumcapek|Rossumcapek]] 12:14, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
* Only an admin can add an article to the recent changes page - they are supposed to take them from requested articles - clearly this person didn't. [[User:Secretlondon|Secretlondon]] 17:51, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
*Actually, anyone can edit the recent changes headers.  [[amae]] was added by [[User:Karada]] if you'd like to ask that user more about the addition. Secretlondon is correct that additions to the requested articles should come from the requested articles listings. I normally take the top ones from most requested. - [[User:Texture|<span style="color:red;">T&#949;x</span>]][[User Talk:Texture|<span style="color:blue;">&#964;</span>]][[User:Texture|<span style="color:red;">ur&#949;</span>]] 18:08, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)
