Well that could also be a problem... perhaps an administrator should be able to discard pages in a category from affecting it - for instance, if a massive asteroid-creation effort is going on, an admin could at request make dead links from pages in the [[Category:Asteroids]] not count or something... that seems pretty dumb, maybe there is a 'smarter' way to do it...

I am thinking what it looks like we need is two special pages - because the 'wantedness' of the page, and the number of pages it shows up as a red link on, are two totally different things. For this new special page, I would recommend only counting templates once; and only counting stuff in the main namespace. Or at least, NOT in the talk namespace.
Sounds good. Dunno if it's still the case, but asteroids known only by a 6 digit number always showed up high on the "most wanted" pages previously, due to other asteroid articles linking to them or something. There is lots of information that Wikipedia really badly links, but detailed info on obscure asteroids probably isn't it...
