1. It's intended to show popular articles, not all namespaces

header message for this page

I agree with Dan, many of the special pages only work for the main namespace. In
lots of wikis the main namespace isn't the only namespace with important content
and some people like to have information on all namespaces.

I also agree with Rob that the message can be added in the header message.
Therefore I think that this bug should be closed as a WONTFIX because bug 4204
covers the solution.

Good day.

I agree it shouldn't show all namespaces, but would it be horrible to change the
WHERE clauses in various special pages to use the values in $wgContentNamespaces
instead of only the main namespace?

Hm. That actually makes a certain amount of sense, yes...
