[Foundation-l] [Wiki-research-l] Summary of findings from WMF Summer of Research program now available

[M. Williamson]

I would be interested to know what the most wanted pages would be if all
links from templates were excluded. If I introduce a redlink into a template
that's transcluded on 2000 pages, it immediately becomes a most wanted
article. I'd also be very interested in seeing this data for other
Wikipedias, particularly Spanish (es) and Serbo-Croatian (sh).
