A question came up during a discussion on the Chinese wiki. There are lots of pages on Chinese wiki that does not have interwiki links, that has counterparts. However, finding these pages are very difficult. What's the easist way to get a list of all pages that does not have any inter-language links?
The proposal were either to run a SQL query of some sort against the database, or run the interlanguage bot against the wiki and parse the result log.
Which is a better way? Also, if it is the SQL query, who will be able to help me with it?
Thanks in advance.

Me! I did a SQL with the latest dump. I made a file which contains the list of the articles with no interwiki : http://mboquien.free.fr/nointer_zh.zip . It is coded in UTF-8.
Have fun,

This used to be available under [[Special:Maintenance]] (well, it gives pages without links to a given language, but if you choose 'en' as the language to check, it will not go much wrong.
Knowing that you are a user of the interwiki-bot, I would like to give you a second good possibility: Run
interwiki.py -start:! -onlyuntranslated
You will get the pages without interwiki links, and be asked to give one or more hints to a page it should be linked to (like en:Title or 20:General_title).
