  :Thank you. I am aware of WP:NOTBROKEN but I believe these links are slightly broken. First the leading plus sign is confusing and was not there prior to the changes to add the wikilink. The only article which I have found which seemed to find the leading plus sign important was France. My efforts are to remove the leading plus sign as it was before while preserving the effort to add the wikilink. And, in a few cases the redirect is bad such as +44 and a few others. i am about to run out of time for now so I may pick it up again in a few days if I find the gumption and there are no serious objections. Thank you again for the useful reminder. It has caused me to reconsider my efforts here once again.
