Are there any plans to provide API hooks for getting the contents of the remaining Special: pages? We have list=allpages for Special:AllPages, list=allcategories for Special:Categories and list=recentchanges for Special:RecentChanges, for example (and some others), but at present there is no way of accessing the contents of many pages such as:
Special:BrokenRedirects Special:CrossNamespaceLinks Special:DeadendPages Special:DoubleRedirects Special:LongPages Special:AncientPages Special:LonelyPages Special:FewestRevisions Special:WithoutInterwiki Special:ProtectedPages Special:ProtectedTitles Special:ShortPages Special:UncategorizedCategories Special:UncategorizedImages Special:UncategorizedPages Special:UncategorizedTemplates Special:UnusedCategories Special:UnusedImages Special:UnusedTemplates Special:WantedCategories Special:WantedFiles Special:WantedPages Special:MostLinkedCategories Special:MostImages Special:MostLinked Special:MostLinkedTemplates Special:MostCategories Special:MostRevisions
Granted, some of these are more useful than others, but the information is accessible via the UI, so why not via the API?
