The presence of the red and blue links on every number makes it seem like there is something inherently notable about the numbers. It would make more sense to either remove the red links, or put a note at the at the bottom of the list explaining it (like PrimeHuner mentioned above: "See Wikipedia:Red link)".

The Red and Blue in these lists are confusing and it's not clear that it's part of Wikipedia's normal red/blue linking system.

I say this as a first time visitor to this page. So why not make this page an autogenerated list of every page in Wikistan that is titled with a prime number? Then the users can click on the numbers (which will then not be red links) and discover whatever other properties it has.

On the other hand pages could be created for truly notable prime numbers, please feel free to follow red-links and create these pages. Hcobb ( talk) 17:33, 29 November 2010 (UTC) I find myself uncomfortable about the idea of creating a page for every prime number, not least because there are an infinite number of them and the database storage costs would be prohibitive. PrimeHunter ( talk) 12:53, 29 November 2010 (UTC) Surely we can spare a page for every prime number? Like 811 is notable for being the smallest non-notable prime number. The red links seem excessive and many of them should probably be removed. What does it mean? Hcobb ( talk) 03:47, 29 November 2010 (UTC) The color shows whether the number has a linked article/redirect or not. I have copied the definition in Prime number: "A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself." PrimeHunter ( talk) 21:29, 1 June 2015 (UTC) Blue vs Red I agree the current definition of prime number could be clarified. My post was about adding definitions to the sections with types of prime numbers. This section is from 2007 and there wasn't a definition of prime numbers at the time but just a link to prime number which is still linked in the second sentence. 71.202.80.15 ( talk) 03:15, (UTC)Thipdar New topics belong at the bottom of talk pages. Considering that "Factor" is wiki documented, I'd be happier to see a definition such as "A prime number is an integer that has only two factors (1 and itself).", with the appropriate embedded link. The issues are whether or not the target number (or "number under test") is an integer, the divisor is an integer and the operation leaves a remainder other than zero. does anybody other than me have a problem with the opening definition: "A prime number is a number that cannot be divided by a number other than 1 and itself."? This simplistic definition fails because any number can be divided by anything other than zero. I think the list gives a better overview with short definitions for each type, so I spent a few hours adding it. PrimeHunter ( talk) 22:31, 6 June 2016 (UTC) Definitions Prime constant and Copeland–Erdős constant#Related constants is related. Your idea is called the characteristic function of primes: oeis:A010051. This can be easily converted to the "Prime Gaps" and visa versa" Robin Randall ( talk) 21:31, 6 June 2016 (UTC) Robin Randall: This list is supposed to have lists of prime numbers, not a list of 0's and 1's. 9 Semi-protected edit request on 16 April 2021.
