== Suggestion about certain special pages ==

I write here because there is no talk page on special pages and this page acts as a sort of reference point to the special pages I want to talk about. It would be nice if [[Special:WantedPages]] would ignore the user namespace (and maybe also the archive namespace). The user namespace is simply not relevant to it imho. The same would be true for a number of other special pages listed here. I don't know if that is even possible with the mediawiki software.

: Great suggestion! Ask the current Director of Information Services, [[User:Bates Larsson]], about it. If not, you can use the Sandbox API Special Page and filter it using a local script. [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]] ([[User talk:Arin Mara|talk]]) 11:20, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

:: I had a look at the API. My impression is that I could automate with it what I could otherwise manually do i.e. click on each entry and check. This wouldn't be a solution which reaches beyond myself. Due to that and other reasons I'm not really interested in that approach. I had a short google search if what I ask is possible and there used to be an extension for media wiki which does it. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17976109/mediawiki-how-do-i-create-a-list-of-wanted-articles-in-the-main-namespace and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WantedPagesFromNS But that extensions seems to be pretty outdated. According to the comments/discussion that was easily fixable by the extension user but those are pretty old themselves by now. I just leave that for the consideration of the wiki team.

::: New extension? That's still the current Director of Information Services, [[User:Bates Larsson]]. Sorry, I believe there's nothing I can do on my side when it comes to filtering. [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]] ([[User talk:Arin Mara|talk]]) 15:14, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
