It requires an SQL LIKE pattern to match rc_title (that is, without namespace name) but there's no help text at all.

See also Bug 5835 where the feature was originally requested the way it is, but similar complaints were raised there as well.

Also we may want another field to select a namespace when this "Pattern" field is used.

This was vastly improved by @thiemowmde in 0943f81e9582aa9a6a0ca70be1433bc914c0ca3a where the field name now explicitely says "SQL LIKE pattern (e.g. %)".
I wonder if the page name should be normalised according to MW title conventions. E.g. if there are pages "Spam_1" and "Spam_2" (rc_title conventions) and you enter "spam %" you will find nothing because: 1. you have to enter an uppercase "S" and 2. you have to use "_" instead of spaces. Either it should be warned/documented either the title pattern should be normalised to rc_title, taking care not to double-encode the "%" and taking care about $wgCapitalLinks and $wgCapitalLinkOverrides.
