Recently, pages with broken file links are automatically put into [[Category:Pages with broken file links]]. This would be very useful for finding image problems in articles, but it is crippled by the large number of non-content pages polluting the category. The following namespaces should not be put into this category:
- all talk namespaces - lots of broken image links, mostly due to deleted images in signatures; fixing them is a huge waste of effort
- Project namespace - used as a talk namespace, so it has the above mentioned problem (this is Wikipedia-specific, other projects might use their project namespace in different ways, so maybe there should be a configuration setting for which namespaces to exempt?)
- User namespace - on many wikis it is conisdered bad manners to make unrequested changes on someone's user page,
