I'm looking to do something that seems like it should be very simple. I want to generate a listing of new pages created on our wiki during a specific time range. For simplicity's sake, let's say the calendar year 2020. Is there a way?
All I've found so far is Special:NewPages, which is very limited:
https://catwiki.xula.edu/Special:NewPages
It seems to only go back 90 days.
I thought Special:AncientPages might do the trick, but it actually looks at last edits, not creation dates.
And of course there is Special:RecentChanges, which has a number of options. I thought I could just look for N in the listing, but it also seems to cut off after 90 days, even if you hack the URL:
https://catwiki.xula.edu/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&days=90 https://catwiki.xula.edu/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&days=200
So at this point I'm out of ideas. Any thoughts?

This length is controlled by https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgRCMaxAge.
Since MediaWiki 1.32 there is a page creation log, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/create. This log will include all pages created since that feature was enabled in MediaWiki.
I note that you're running MediaWiki 1.30, which has been out of support since June 2019. You should upgrade to at least 1.35, which is a long-term support release that will be supported until Sept. 2023.
