Description:
There is a namespace selector on [[Special:Recentchanges]]; why nowhere else?
It could be used to consolidate:
- {All pages, Categories, File list} into "Pages"
- {Most linked to categories, Most linked to images, Most linked to pages} into "Most linked to pages"
- {Uncategorized categories, Uncategorized pages} into "Uncategorised pages"
- {Unused categories, Unused files, Orphaned pages} into "Orphaned pages"
- {Wanted categories, Wanted pages} into "Wanted pages"
It will also make Pages with most categories, Pages with most revisions, New
pages, Short pages, Oldest articles be more generic.
And even these could ALL be combined into ONE page with subpages, or a
selection.
The listings could provide more info for the given namespace, ie links to the
image when referring to the Image: namespace.
Not only will this allow for less repetitive code, it will stop the ambiguity
between the terms "pages"/"articles" and "files"/"images".
If nothing else, it will save a lot of time adding the same enhancements to
multiple different special pages.
