How is a junk page

find them?
$z = $totalPages - $talkPages - $commaPages - $redirectPages ;
So, in theory at least, it should be all pages that aren't in a talk
namespace, aren't redirects, and don't have a comma. Unfortunately, the
actual number isn't valid, since the sets of talk, comma, and redirect
pages can overlap.
There's no function that lists pages with these exact properties, but
[[special:ShortPages]] (labeled as "Stub Articles" in the sidebar) will
find most of the same stuff -- non-redirect articles with no actual
content -- sorted from the smallest zero-byte-long pages on up.
