And wouldn't subject categories make more sense if you're looking to see what's missing?

Nice idea. Category:Articles that Start With a Vowel.
The category doesn't do any harm by itself, and similar categories exist on Wikipedia [for example], but I suppose minor edits solely for the sake of adding a category to an article should be discouraged, which is what I imagine you're considering. Azjps (talk) 18:00, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
