Adding namespace selection to Special:Whatlinkshere
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Author: wikiGracenotes

Description:
On [[Special:Whatlinkshere/PAGE]], all of the pages that link to PAGE are
listed. A drop-down box for selecting which namespace to display would be useful
for WikiPrject Disambigution (located on Wikipedia as [[WP:WPDAB]], goal #2),
and similar things. e.g., if "Template talk" were selected, only Template talk
pages that link PAGE would be listed.

What I had in mind was something similar to [[Special:Recentchanges]], which
includes:

  1. [[MediaWiki:Namespace]]
  2. A drop-down box containing a. all - (default) b. (Main) - (namespace 0) c. The rest of the positive namespaces in numerical order
  3. A "Go" button
  4. An "Invert selection" checkbox

Please also include a similar layout as above for the "File links" section at
the bottom of an Image page.

This can be completed manually (it's easy to tell if something's in a namespace
just by glancing at it), but a machine selection would be time-saving and useful
if both technically feasible and latently useful for all MediaWiki software
users. Thanks.
