Tech:Automatically generate lists of stubsoutlinesetc needing attention

From Wikitravel Shared

Moved from en:Wikitravel:Feature requests by Evan

The "Stubs/Outlines/Etc needing attention" pages are out-of-date and tough to maintain, and have been nominated for deletion. There is some consensus that an automated way of generating these lists (including some sort of geographic hierarchy) would be nice to have. A comment from en:User:Evan on the subject is copied below for reference:

I think they should be automated too. I'm thinking something like en:Special:Allpages, but with article status in a dropdown rather than namespace. It might also be nice to query by geographical area (so you can see which articles need work under en:Montana or en:Uganda or en:Mongolia), and even by article type (destination guides, travel topics, itineraries, phrasebooks) and destination type (city, region, country). I think that we'd need to put a little RDF into the status templates (see en:Wikitravel:RDF Expedition/Article status for an example), and I have to do some architectural work to make all-site searches possible. But I think it's doable, and I think it would help out a lot. --Evan 18:14, 8 July 2006 (EDT)

What about using categories for this? --DenisYurkin 17:46, 25 November 2006 (EST)
