Feature Request - titlesonly output for Special:NewPages
Open, LowPublicFeature

Description

When using the Special:NewPages command, could another boolean be added: "titlesonly"?

IF titlesonly, then truncate the output to only include the titles.

Example input would be:
{{Special:Newpages/limit=5,shownav,offset=20081210,namespace=Template,titlesonly}}

Output would be the same as the current output, but ONLY include the mw-newpages-pagename elements in the list.

@Xaosflux would you mind elaborating on the use case? When would this be helpful?

@DannyS712, was a follow up from an assistance request at sqquote; they wanted to incorporate that in to a portal/main page feed (e.g. https://sq.wikiquote.org/wiki/Faqja_kryesore).

Admin at SqQuote here who asked for assistance. :)

We already have something similar in the main page but would be much better if we could have the "only titles" version of it. For small wikis it serves as a motivation tool for new content seeing that "you're not alone" and other articles are continuously being made.
