Unclassified projects
This section contains the list of projects that have not been classified: i.e. projects that lack a tag defining their category and/or their difficulty.
Theoretically, this section should be empty. In practice, however, it is all too easy to forget to tag a project appropriately when defining it, and this section is intended to help in spotting such misclassified projects. Please note that misclassified projects may not appear in other indexes, so it is important to spot them!

Notes
This page is (mostly) generated automatically from the project pages themselves. To add a new project, just add a new project page and tag it with the proper tags. Also note that the last modification date appearing below is the last modification date of the list template, not of any of the projects themselves; nor is it the date when the last new project was added.
