Over in the Wick Migration thread (Special Efforts), there's been discussion about a filter that would make finding pages still to be moved easier. This would involve a tool like the one to display pages in a namespace (e.g. the PlayingWith/ one), but with an additional option for "page type". This would give you, say, all the pages in Recap/ set to "subpage" (enabling someone to find them and set them as the proper "examlpes" instead), all the pages in Main/ set as "creator", and so on. I imagine it as having a box like on this tool to type the namespace, and a drop-down list for the page type, like on the standard screen, but of course I don't know the difficulty of those things.

Whilst it's possible to get works that need moving through an index, this would also be a useful thing and catch pages that may not be indexed, though all pages should be.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Good idea. It would make it easier than going through a namespace list and trying to find what's correct and what's not. Even with the namespace tool, the Main/ namespace is way too large to be displayed.

I was thinking of this a long time ago - yes, please *begging eyes"

Sounds like a really great idea.
