Hi, Is there any way how to display pages that don't exist but are linked to? E.g I can have article this is [[pageXY link]] to described topic but I did not have edited pageXY ever (this page does not exists). Can I find somewhere the name of this page? Brona

Yes - go to Special:Wantedpages. Just select Special pages from the toolbox on the left and then go to Wanted Pages.

Unless things have changed (I'm still running 1.4.x) this will only return non-existant pages that are linked to from at least two places. -- Rick DeNatale Visit the Project Mercury Wiki Site http://www.mercuryspacecraft.com/

Correct. Customisation is introduced in 1.5.7, although I expect you could hack the special page code; it's literally a single character to bring the threshold down. Rob Church On 17/03/06, Rick DeNatale <rick.denatale(a)gmail.com> wrote:

That's interesting, because $wgWantedPagesThreshold was introduced in 1.5.7, as seen in the release notes at http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=397966; scroll down to "Changes since 1.5.6" to see. Rob Church On 20/03/06, Bronislav Klucka <konference(a)pro2-soft.com> wrote:

I'm sorry to confuse everybody. You're right variable $wgWantedPagesThreshold determines what number of links must exist to display non existing page in Special:Wantedpages sinc 1.5.7 B. Rob Church wrote:
