Most-wanted articles
See also: Maintenance departments

These are the most wanted articles from the database dump of 26 June 2005. Operational (blue) links show articles that have been created since then. You may want to use the "Threshold for stub display" on Special:Preferences to check which ones are still stubs.

This ranking includes only counts links from the main article namespace, category description pages, templates, and redirects in these three namespaces.

Count multiple links from the same template due to transclusion. -- Beland 9 July 2005 01:09 (UTC)
Some articles with apostrophes show up as false positives (manually removed this time). -- Beland 9 July 2005 01:09 (UTC)
Being new and not understanding the term "transclusion" I have, however, become quickly aware that the counting of requests appears to be artificially inflated by "request links" that are not really there. I started looking at doing the so-called "top request" and quickly realized that the links were not there. Is this a computer or human generated request list? I'd love to help out with the "most wanted," but would rather work on real requests. Tim Graff 23:05, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, the list is accurate as of the last database dump. If you look at the top requests, the "What links here" page is flooded because they are listed on Template:Opentask. Lots of people have this template on their user talk pages (they "transclude" it). This counts for "What links here" but not this list (especially since these pages were only added to the template after the database dump was done). But I think "What links here" has a maximum number of links it will show, and they are not in any particular order, so you might not be seeing incoming links that are there. I'm sure some links have since been removed, and others added, depending on the topic. -- Beland 05:24, 13 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
