We don't know if there's demand because hardly anyone redlinks
anymore. Whether that's a function of over-zealous link police or
obviously linkable topics being filled out, I can't say.
There are still many redlinks to be found, however the wantedpages
report is stale and isnt restricted to mainspace redlinks.

Many of these redlinks have higher numbers because the redlink is on a template.
It would be good if the wantedpages report was regenerated
periodically; monthly would be fine.
Or maintained only for redlinks in, and to, mainspace.
