I agree it's an Administrative task. This isn't something I choose to ignore though, as I've actively been reducing the list for a while (the list was very large at the start). I take maintenance issues seriously and it doesn't help when you inherit a wiki that had a bad history of maintenance issues in it's first few years. It also doesn't help that the default welcome messages include a link to the first page someone edits or that removing these stupid links starts clogging up the activity feeds so they have to be removed slow and gradual. Special:Wantedpages (tired of naming it such) is one of the last maintenance special pages I keep track of and would be nice if less pages ever made it there.
