That page seems to pick up pages in the user and talk namespaces as well. Is there much value in adding a special page to the list of 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.
