Add a MediaWiki message tracking category for pages that transclude missing pages
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Hi. There should be a category for missing transclusions. It should have a system message for the category name, because every wiki can decide it needs this for different namespaces lists - one for 0 only, one for 0, 10, 100, and so on, so it should be possible to add a switch statement to this message with namespaces list. Thank you.

There is a special page for wanted templates

Special:WantedTemplates

Having it for all transclusion would be nice, but for a category there could be a lot of entries in it. The special page has the benefit to show the wanted template and the linklist gives the pages where it is wanted. The tracking category cannot give more information, you have to open the edit from and scroll down to see the missing template/page

Hi. Special:WantedTemplates is useless because it has names of all templates ever used on talk pages or in drafts. If there was a way to filter it by namespace, it would walk.
But why do you think there will be a very big category? On our wiki, I keep this number as 0, I just wanted a normal way to users to find the problem in place, not needing quarry all the time. Thank you.
