Description

The Special: pages can be very useful for maintenance work (e.g. changing all links to one domain to another to fix linkrot).

Unfortunately many simple maintenance tasks are basically impossible for people who do not know how to write code, because the interface is not userfriendly and filtering is only possible in code.

For example, they cannot filter by namespace.

  •  
    Searching through this list for articles that link to books.google.de is pretty difficult
  •  
    Mockup namespace filter

Special:ProtectedTitles and Special:LintErrors and Special:UnconnectedPages already have a namespace filter (with a very inconsistent interface), but it could be improved with these interface elements.

Assigned focus area

Unassigned.
