Blank Nodes on Start Page

I used to have a few on a site. I had to go to phpmyadmin and remove some faulty nodes, they were of type weblink. They appear because I removed the weblink module, and I didn't previously remove created weblink nodes. I think this can happen with other modules who create special node types. Alternatively you can reinstall the missing module and they will re-appear.

Bryan - assuming this solved your problem...

We could still try to get some added value from this:

1. Updating documentation to include "uninstall" notes as standard part of module "INSTALL" or "README" that covers not only how to add the item to your system, but also how to cleanly remove it from your system.

2. Do this automatically (seems problematic) as discussed here: http://drupal.org/node/702

3. Fix the node/module to "fail gracefully" in cases like this

For 1. I have added this documentation comment and hopefully the documentation folks will integrate it into the handbook more appropriately.

2. is covered elsewhere, making this a dupe.

3. I'm not certain that there is anythingwrong with the current handling.

Given all that, "fixed".
