Precisely I would like to get a list of articles in http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kategorie:Zweiter_Weltkrieg_%28Film%29 sorted by the number of links in the german wikipedia these articles have. But I think a general toll would be cool, as it is some kind of indicator of important articles in a category.
I have no knowledge of programing.

I sort of started working on a tool like this: http://toolserver.org/~mzmcbride/cgi-bin/yanker.py?db=dewiki_p&list=pages&category=Zweiter+Weltkrieg+%28Film%29&page=&limit=5000&sort=asc&wrapper=%241

The main interface is available at http://toolserver.org/~mzmcbride/cgi-bin/yanker.py

I think Magnus might have a tool to do something similar to what you want, too.

Hi,thankks. I checked that, but both do not sort the articles by the number of links who link there in a wikipedia. That is what I am looking for.

I've just built the tool you requested, it can be found here: http://toolserver.org/~hoo/catPageLinks.php

(If you want the data in a raw format, just add &type=raw and &separator=foo if you want a custom separator)

Btw, the source can be found at the 'Source' option at the left.

Thank you for that amazing tool.
I would like make the following ideas for improvement:

  • definable search deepth (in subcategories)
  • definable namespaces (especially article name space)
