Need some Memory Beta help

Use of Time

A while ago I stumbled across an alphabetized list on Memory Beta that had all the entries listed in red (entries that don't have a page associated with them) next to the source material they were pulled from. I know that if you click on them it just takes you to a page where it edits them. I have been unable to find this list again.

For example, if I'm looking at an Enterprise personnel roster there will be entries in blue and red. Blue means I can click on the entry and it will take me to that particular page and show it's references. The entries in red obviously came from somewhere. Is there anyway to find the novel, episode, video game, etc. that those pageless entries came from.
 
I would imagine that since it's a Wiki, any references had to be entered in manually by somebody.

So if a page doesn't list the references, then that's unfortunate.

When someone is adding an entry, they will put double square brackets around all terms they assume have reference pages that will elaborate on the term. If the page doesn't exist, though, the link turns red.

It can be hard to investigate every reference immediate when you're focused on the main entry you're working on. Hopefully other editors will add to one's own entries and catch many more references. Wikis are always a work-in-progress, and there's always more work to be done.
