Good lists to monitor and trim down every now and then: Double redirects, broken redirects
It's 2026, who isn't using https-only? Turn http links to https
Search queries are a good way to find articles that have starter text: Pages containing [Incident]
Also template search, pages with: InfoboxCompany InfoboxProductLine (mostly gone)
Scroll through every page at once by namespace: Special:AllPages
Finding articles without certain templates
As of 1/31/26, I am trying to find articles which are missing any of the four cargo templates. I have manually scraped the list of pages with certain templates copying lists fromSpecial:WhatLinksHere and all pages in the main namespace (excluding redirects) from Special:AllPages into text documents. Using these lists, you can run a basic Python script and count how many lists each page is present in. Any page found in only 1 list must have no cargo templates, any page found in 2 lists has one cargo template, any pages with 3-5 lists has several cargo templates.
I am not an advanced programmer but here is my script:
# these files all generated 1/30/26 21 UTC
- generate list of filepaths to be read
filenames = ["allpages.txt", "company.txt", "incident.txt", "productline.txt", "product.txt"]
pathprefix = "[your-path-here]"
filepaths = []
for x in filenames:
filepaths.append(pathprefix + x)
- print(filepaths)
- read files line-by-line, sanitize lines, and count in dictionary
match = " (transclusion) (← links | edit)"
table = {} # String to Int: line, count
for x in filepaths:
with open(x, "r") as file: # auto closes file
content = file.read()
lines = content.split('\n')
for line in lines:
line = line.replace(match, "")
# print(line)
if line in table:
table[line] += 1
else:
table[line] = 1
- print(table)
- read unsorted dict and sort into new dict with count as key
sortedtable = {} # Int to List[String]: count, lines
for pair in table.items():
line = pair[0]
count = pair[1]
if count in sortedtable:
sortedtable[count].append(line)
else:
sortedtable[count] = [line]
print("#####Only in AllPages#####")
for x in sortedtable[1]:
print(x)
Then a list can be displayed or saved with Bash: python3 table.py | less
