Is there any way we could get an unused redirects list? I know ENWP does something similar and Wikia can do it as well. ENWP uses a bot to create their list, but perhaps there is some way for a special page to be created?

RFC @ashley So on the wikia forum it shows the DPL extension being used, could you consider testing that and installing it and maybe see if that works, or if you can think of any other (and possibly more efficient) solutions?

DPL
There are very few questions for which DPL is the appropriate answer. This is not such a question.
One of the many concerns related to the DPL extension is performance. This is better done as a QueryPage, like the core Special:Unused* pages. I've written such an extension, which adds a Special:UnusedRedirects page. Obviously it could use a bit more testing, but based on some quick tests on my local dev wiki, it seems to be working as intended.
I've filed a request for a new git repo for publishing the source code; I'm not sure how to properly add it as a git submodule for the Brickimedia/extensions repository, but we can deploy it to production without that and have someone more git-savvy clean it up at a later date.

So I've deployed the UnusedRedirects extension (globally), albeit in a slightly unorthodox way, and after a query fix and running maintenance/updateSpecialPages.php to update the data (on en), the special page is now displaying data.
