::Hmm; I don't think it's that rare TBH; I saw around half a dozen gene symbols change when I updated those gene lists today. That said, the gene lists aren't relevant to this task in any way; I'm just proposing the creation of redirects. But, to answer your questions, it's not any more or less necessary than creating and maintaining any other article on Wikipedia. I do it voluntarily because I know there are some who would find it useful/interesting for the same reason I do. I suspect that people who would "use" these lists are readers who are interested in human genes. The alternative is [https://biomart.genenames.org/martform/#!/default/HGNC?datasets=hgnc_gene_mart&attributes=hgnc_gene__hgnc_gene_id_1010%2Chgnc_gene__status_1010%2Chgnc_gene__approved_symbol_1010%2Chgnc_gene__uniprot__uniprot_accession_1036&hgnc_gene__locus_group_1010=protein-coding+gene HGNC's gene browser] which cuts off the list at 1000 entries and utilizes such an excessive amount of pagination so as to render the viewer relatively useless. As for the purpose, I can't say; I only know what I useused it for. But, for what purpose would any of the other lists in [[lists of human genes]] be used for that matter?
