For years it was slightly bugging me that the "Most wanted articles" function is deactivated. On en.wp, the last cache was generated in October 2009.
Well, I cooked an alternative. Listing all non-existing articles that have at least 10 links from article namespace, updated daily:
http://toolserver.org/~magnus/most_wanted.php
Many of these links are due to templates, which I can do little about. I hope it will still be useful to some.
Could you do a version of this where the tool also lists the number of links from Template namespace? This is namespace 10, as opposed to namespace 0 (articles). And then allow an option (sorting or eliminating) to only look at "wanted" articles with no links from template namespace?
For example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target...
That is 'British films of 2011', with 2 entries in templates.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target...
But Richard Kruse is not linked from templates, and the links appear to be mostly from lists.
