Hey, I'm trying to remove all the broken links in my wikia but the Wanted pages shows only pages that apparently don't have any other page linking to them. What can I do to get the pages with actual broken links? Thanks in advance!

There’s no list of pages with redlinks on them. But if you get rid of redlinks individually, you’ll get the same result.
FYI, trying to remove all the redlinks without doing a meaningful job (putting useful stuff in the new destination pages) is just an OCD issue and not a good way to make your wiki better.
Thank you both for your replies!
@Fandyllic, when I said that I didn't really mean every one of them. I just delete the ones that aren't needed and fix the ones linking to pages which have been renamed. Also there are pages that don't fit the wiki's theme so I link them to another wiki, I don't remove those. I appreciate the advice, though. Thanks!
Ahh okay.
One thing I wish there were was a list of links that change the link label, i.e. [[link_page|link_label]]
. If these are redlinks, it can be confusing. People often do this for pluralization and such when a redirect would probably be better.
WhatLinksHere and WantedPages can easily get out of sync... WhatLinksHere should be more live, so if it is empty, but you expect something to show up that is in WantedPages, trust WhatLinksHere and assume WantedPages is old.
