Forum:Unwatched Pages

On the WWII Wiki, I want to see which pages are not being viewed very often so I know which ones to expand and add information. So, I go to the the page in the admin dashboard labeled "Unwatched Pages" and it gives me a list full of user pages, user comments, template pages, etc. How do I get this information out of the list? All I want are content pages. 14:47,5/20/2012 14:47, May 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not seeing any option for "Unwatched Pages" in the admin dashboard. I think you're confusing it with something else.  Please describe the icon that appears with this option that you're pushing. ('Course, you may be talking about something under the so-called "advanced" tab — but nothing under that tab is actually a unique part of Admin Dashboard, since the advanced tab is merely a link to Special:SpecialPages)


 * In any case, "Watching" a page has nothing to do with "viewing" one. An unwatched page is a page that no one is "following".  That's a very different — and very much less useful — thing than a report of pages that haven't been viewed much.  Basically, a page is "watched" only when a user chooses to "follow" it.  Since that's a very arbitrary decision by the user, there is no pattern which can be discerned from it.  The list at Special:Unwatchedpages has no practical application, as far as I'm aware.  You simply can't derive anything meaningful from someone's decision to follow a page.  Special:Unwatchedpages is simply a list that's easy for the software to generate — not an indicator of a page's true popularity.
