- @Koavf, I really like this page https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WantedPages&limit=500&offset=0
- Do other languages have that, or is it just here?
- LagoonGoose (talk) 18:13, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- WantedPages is a standard report on other wikis, yes. Sometimes on en.wp, these reports will fail, as that wiki is so large. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:17, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Koavf oh, that explains it 😆 this will be why I had your page open on my phone.
- Your profile page here redirected me to your page on en, so I asked a question there. Just trivial curiosity, wondering why your profile lists a language you don't speak as well as languages you do?
- But, what I was going to ask here is: where do I find that list on other wikis?
- Also, this page is on the request list https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Articles_with_dead_external_links_from_December_2015&action=edit&redlink=1 but gives me a warning not to create it, "deleted for being empty", but it now has over a thousand requests. But it seems to be a weird kind of page?

- I had kinda/sorta wanted to learn Hausa years ago and put it there, but that was silly. To find that list on other wikis, check Special:SpecialPages or just go to [whateverwiki]/wiki/Special:WantedPages. Those maintenance categories are periodically deleted once they are emptied and it is empty now--there are no articles in that category. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:51, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Koavf Then what are the thousand pages looking to it? LagoonGoose (talk) 03:46, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- There are only a couple dozen links (due to other maintenance categories): https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Category:Articles_with_dead_external_links_from_December_2015&limit=500 and there are no pages in Category:Articles_with_dead_external_links_from_December_2015. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:04, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
