[Mediawiki-l] mediawiki 1.5: so difficult?

[Arthur Guy]

I certainly agree that a list of pages with links but no content that
have yet to be created would be useful; this needs someone who is
familiar with the system to write them all down or someone to setup a
new site and just go through everything. 
My site has been running for a while now and I still occasionally come
across the odd system page I haven't created yet.

Clearly, you didn't read what I said, and you didn't check
Special:Allmessages either.
Yes, I know about that page, yes I find it helpful, but it is not
enough.

It does NOT list  [[Protected_page_guidelines]] which is linked from
[[protectedpagewarning]].  This is one example only.

Also, there are a large number of messages in that page, most of which
are
OK and do not need much tweaking for me.  My complaint is that I'd like
a
list of
pages that DO need tweaking, mostly because they don't yet exist.

I guess what I would like is a list of all pages in Special:Allmessages
that
do NOT exist, as well as a list of all pages those pages link to that
also
do not exist...

As we both have pointed out, there are already two places to go to get a
list of _ALL_ messages.
