I certainly agree that a list of pages with links but no content that have yet to be created would be useful; this needs someone who is familiar with the system to write them all down or someone to setup a new site and just go through everything. My site has been running for a while now and I still occasionally come across the odd system page I haven't created yet.

Um, you mean Special:Allmessages ? Clearly, the documentation doesn't mention that enough times yet...
Clearly, you didn't read what I said, and you didn't check Special:Allmessages either. Yes, I know about that page, yes I find it helpful, but it is not enough.
It does NOT list [[Protected_page_guidelines]] which is linked from [[protectedpagewarning]]. This is one example only.
Also, there are a large number of messages in that page, most of which are OK and do not need much tweaking for me. My complaint is that I'd like a list of pages that DO need tweaking, mostly because they don't yet exist.
I guess what I would like is a list of all pages in Special:Allmessages that do NOT exist, as well as a list of all pages those pages link to that also do not exist...
As we both have pointed out, there are already two places to go to get a list of _ALL_ messages. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
