That page seems to pick up pages in the user and talk

extensions that lists main namespace pages that have links to articles
that don't exist in the main namespace? I know we'll use it, but we
have a different flow of creating pages and dealing with broken links
than Wikipedia.
The four questions I usually ask myself before committing an extension are:
1. Is it well written, secure (to my knowledge), etc?
2. Do I want to release the code for this?
3. Is someone else going to find it useful?
4. Has it been done better in the repo?
I like to think that #1 is always a "yes", and #2 is usually a "yes"
as well, so generally what I go for is satisfying #3 and #4.
In your case, I think you'd be satisfying both of those; I don't see
why someone else wouldn't find it useful, and I don't believe there's
anything like it in the repository to date.
