:Nice technical page, but I must ask is there any use for it? At least for me this seems quite useless, causing hinder rather than help. –[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] ([[User talk:Kapteeni Ruoska|talk]]) 06:11, 7 September 2016 (CEST) | |||
::I wanted to make sure there wasn't anything I was missing. When I'm browsing through the list it's easier to click these links than copy pasting the auto-generated titles from the api query. | |||

:::Sure, just wondering, as the wiki already has [[Special:AllPages]], but perhaps there is a use for that. –[[User:Kapteeni Ruoska|Kapteeni Ruoska]] ([[User talk:Kapteeni Ruoska|talk]]) 07:27, 8 September 2016 (CEST) | |||
::::[[Special:AllPages]] felt too clumsy for me to navigate. All I really wanted was a single list of all nonredirect links :) | |||

I may want to go back to using the external link syntax if breaking the [[Special:LonelyPages|orphaned pages]] is a big deal. For now I've just added the orphaned pages here and I'll just update the list every time I generate the AllPages list.<br> | |||

::I changed it back to use the external link syntax to make sure the [[Special:LonelyPages|orphaned pages]] list still works properly. <br> | |||
