Description:
This enhancement request affects two Special pages.
- Special:ShortPages
- Special:AllPages ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Request 1
Currently the [[Special:ShortPages]] link displays all the short pages irrespective of its nature.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ShortPages&limit=500&offset=0
It will be nice if there is some option/link that which will help me to sort out the (disambiguation) pages from this list. The reason is, in most cases content will not be added to disambiguation pages once the various articles are created. Hence all these pages will always show up as the first enteries in the ShortPages list. And it is very difficult to hunt for the actual short pages from the sea of (disambiguation) pages.
The current implimentation may make sense from the perspective of english wikipedia. But for some wikies (like Malayalam), where the community does not allow the creation of unnecessary stubs the current implimenation is a headache. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ShortPages&limit=500&offset=0
Because of this almost all the pages that are listed on the short pages are disambiguation pages. We would like to see an option that will hide all the xxxxx(നാനാര്ത്ഥങ്ങള്) pages (equivalent of disambiguation page) in Malayalam wiki.
*Request 2
I request a similar feature to sort out the redirect pages from the [[Special:AllPages]] list.
