As for the DPL checklist problems, this is a known issue and steps have been taken to correct this problem. Seeing as the default limit for DPL categorized pages is 500, the furniture category is currently being split into two categories for items A-L and M-Z. Until we can get all the pages categorized, for the time being I have manually corrected the Furniture checklist. We are also working towards the possibility of expanding the DPL limit so that this wouldn't be an issue to begin with.

If VMK does comes back, we will deal with that when the time comes. Right now there are other things that take priority instead of, for example, preemptively redividing our pin section.

Please feel free to point out any other specific corrections that need to be made.
Many of the newer items are not in their categories (Accessories, Chairs, etc.). This would require comparing the DPL Checklist (see what I mean?) to the categories to see where they are. The clothing checklist is still incomplete. In addition, I propose a Master List of EVERY item in VMK (like the Checklist, but with the detail of the Chairs page). I would be glad to make some wikicode for it, if you are positive that your Checklist covers everything (I would do a simple find-and-replace on the checklist page). The page would be called Master List: Master List. All links would be to a page just called Master List, which would have a warning about long load times (over 2,000 pictures would take a minute or so to load on an economy broadband connection). Until the DPL issue is resolved, I would be glad to provide wikicode for the checklist (without DPL). If you would make me an editor, then I will even put the code in the wiki page for you. Shouldn't the split be A-M and N-Z, to be even?

Also, some embarrassments in the Checklist pages (items that don't belong):

Happy Halloween from Lily
Lilo and Stitch Theme
Magic Pins
Magic Theme
Main Street Magic Shop
Single Use Magic Pins
Stitch Space Vehicle (Trading Card)
