That wiki list doesn’t have all the data filled in. Go to the gov’t link at the Fed Register I provided and click on the Presidents name and you’ll see the listings by year/number on which you can click on and read the entire EO.

Not all EOs are created equal. Proclamations, for example, are a special type of Executive Order that are generally ceremonial or symbolic, such as when the President declares National Take Your Child To Work Day. Another subset of Executive Orders are those concerned with national security or defense issues. These have generally been known as National Security Directives. Under the Clinton Administration, they have been termed "Presidential Decision Directives."

An excerpt from ThisNation.com. Might explain why there are so many different lists on this topic.

Or it might not.

At any rate, maybe all EO's shouldn't be considered equal.
