Hello!

I was wondering if would it be possible to have some special page which lists
"the most referenced pages" and "the fewest referenced pages" in the sense of
the number of uses of the <ref> tags in those pages.

Considering that the information at the wikiprojects should be well sourced, if
a page has few or no reference tags at all, it is likely to be a page poorly
sourced. Currently, this is situation is indicated manually by adding templates
[[Template:Citation needed]] and the [[Category:Articles with unsourced
statements]].

Having this kind of statistics automatically generated and shown in a special
page would help us to identify the pages which need citation. This should be
usefull for other wikis as well.

The special page could let us sort the pages by: number of <ref>s, date of
creation, date of last edit and so on...

Would this be feasible?

Helder
