Because there are some discs that will probably never be dumped again.

Those would be appropriate for the wiki lists

I don't know who you'd have to bug to get them added though...

Do you mean those many group release dumps?

I am assuming you do mean it, right?
The answer would be a NO!

I see. I'll add them to Discs not yet dumped list.

Could I have a wiki account so I can do this (or could someone add them for me)?

Dumps without any ring info whatsoever makes up about 90% of the PlayStation 1 list due to the dark CD backs (you need a flashlight to be able to read them).

I think there's a difference between the proper PSX dumps provided by the dumpers and the random scene isos.

I gather redump doesn't subscribe to the "bad dump is better than no dump" line of thinking?

I don't think there would be any point in keeping records of bad dumps

No dump is better than bad or fake dump.

There is no reasoning of any kind for the other that makes sense for preservation.
