Special:WantedPages basically doesn't work anymore on any MediaWiki installation. Wikipedia have disabled the feature entirely, ''and did so years ago. ''

Because it appears to work a little bit, people have this hope that there's just something wrong with the cache, or that there's an extension that can be written to trick it out. But I wouldn't expect movement on it if the world's largest user of the MediaWiki software have wholly given up on it. (Heck, the feature isn't even enabled at mediawiki.org — the home of the software!)

If you go to wikipedia:Wikipedia talk:Special:WantedPages you can get a sense of the struggles Wikipedia have been through to get the damn thing to work, and how it's not worked really since roughly the mid-2000s over there.
