Wanted pages are created by linking to a page that doesn't yet exist. This effectively "requests" that a page be made. This list ranks pages by the number of requests — or redlinks — that have been made for it. Generally, there is a 1,000 entry limit on this report at FANDOM, and most MediaWiki wikis.
Because Tardis encourages the creation of red-links, 1,000 entries is highly insufficient. We typically have between 10 and 15 thousand red-links on any given day. Therefore, we encourage using a workaround to get the true picture of our wanted pages. Click here to look at the first 5,000 wanted pages. Then, advance through each following group of 5,000 entries until you get to the end of the list.
