Provide a list of Functions/Types/etc. that lack labels/short descriptions/aliases in any language.
Note Wikibase previously has such special pages which queries the database via SQL, which is later proved not a scalable approach. Such features should instead be built on ElasticSearch.

T343565: Have a way to find a list of functions without something proposes several reports.

No, we won't add a US$m extra cost to this initiative just in case someone spams the Wikifunctions with millions of entries; we'll just block them. The scalability of the DBs for a few tens of thousand of entries is fine.

I write a COBOL-program to extract content out of the Wikifunctions dump. Maybe some of the use cases described here and in linked tasks can be answered through this program. It is possible use it if it is not necessary to have it updated every day. You can find the source code at https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/hogue/cobol-file-collection/-/blob/main/Wikifunctionsdumpextract/Dumpextract.cbl The program is not finished. It does not analyze the dump. It just lists the content of a Z-Object.

To join up the dots, some of this work is underway for this Quarter over in T376671: [25Q2] On-wiki tooling to improve content and help editors onboard.
