Special:Wantedpages doesn't mean anything now because it gives a too high value to links included in very-used templates.
What is a "too high value"?
Broken links in massively-used templates are *EXACTLY* the sort of thing you want to know about!
Weeell... five of the currently top-wanted articles are the redlinks in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Task template]]. That template is used on all Talk pages that are claimed as part of that WikiProject (thousands, apparently), but not in any actual articles. The redlinks don't actually have any real impact.
Almost all of the currently-listed top-wanted articles appear to be on the list because of this WikiProject talk-page template craziness. Some appear to be on the list for no reason: their what-links-here list is actually very short, but maybe they were linked to from such a template when the wanted pages list was generated.
By the way -- notice that one of the redlinks is [[Project: Pegasus]], which gets reinterpreted as [[Wikipedia:Pegasus]]. How would one fix this?
