Hi Nathan, This is so cool! I'm thinking I could reach out to the library, see if they would like to organize an event to work on this. It'd be a fun introduction to Wikipedia.
I also agree with Travis' comment: I think it would help if there was a bit more explanation! Let me know if you'd like me to try and edit the description.

What issues are you having with the template limit? This looks like a normal page, not a template.
I would also maybe update the information at the top of your page to explain "page needed", and what the action item is. ("These are references from articles that are marked as needing a page number from the book they reference. You can help Wikipedia by going to the library and finding the page and adding it").
Cheers, -Travis

I've made several upgrades to my scraper; for example, it now works if the page-needed template is next to the ref, while before it only worked if the template was inside the ref. My list is now at 6,000 entries and 680 KB, well beyond WP's template limit, and at my current rate, it would take more than 40 years to clear the list. Therefore, I need your help clearing the list more than ever. Also, there are at least two French-language books on the list, at the Main library's International Center.
