Tidy up the public lists?
There are a lot of public lists that seem to have seen little or no use. If they were removed it would be easier to find the ones that are in use when selecting them.
Good idea. Maybe lists could be ranked by popularity.

in fact @moderators list in our mind are now to be replace by equivalent tags (as you've said @delete / @fix)
because I've said previously (don't know if on the wall or IRC)
list in "our mind" dedicated to "personnal/subjective" purpose (a list for me review for a test/ sentences I find usefull for my own business etc.)
tags are of a "generci/objective" purpose , grammar point, quote, action requested from the community (check/delete/link) etc.
maybe it's because it's 2 am && because my English is not so good but I don't get the "(maybe other user created links would work too if all were prefixed with @. "
but yep moderators can remove any tags

ok so if I understand
@-starting tags would be used for "action-requested" tags in general?
if so, yep it make sense to make the difference between "informative" tags and "action needed" tags and would ease the processing
We going to have tags to reply to users then? Maybe starting with ~
e.g.
> @so archaic that removal is suggested
~not going to happen, live with it

Besides the point that most lists are not used, I think they are pretty unordered. E.g. request for checking by native speakers is a topic common to all languages, and thus such lists could be grouped.
(Or, if there was a more flexible advanced search, we could use one list for all languages and filter, or use tags and then filter, e.g.
I could search for all German sentences with the tag "to-be-checked", correct them, and then remove the tag.)
In fact for this I think (as implementing an advance search system is "wanted" but to be honest for the moment our servers are far too slow to run complex search queries, or at least it will take us time to figure how to do both efficient advance search in a acceptable time) I can do the following , having a "to-be-checked" tag, having it accessible trough a "all tags" pages, and on the paginated list of all sentences with this tag, a filter by language (in fact it's what I plan to do very soon, so feel free to say if you would prefer something else)
That would be a nice start. I often come across English sentences I find dubious, but since I am not a native speaker, I would rather tag them than change them myself. On the other hand, I have also seen some incorrect German sentences by nonnative speakers which I had to correct, so I guess this functionality would help all of us to increase the quality of the sentences.
In the long term, people will be able to choose which public list they want to follow.
