Hi Sandra/Spinster,

Yes! This is exactly what I was envisioning. 

How does the query build this table -- and can it include stubs and other blue 
linked articles that still need development? Both blue and red links?

I'm sorry I didn't take a more active part in the Community Wishlist Survey. I 
would have strongly advocated for this. A need for task list automation is 
something that I have been made aware of only recently via the Black Lunch 
Table Project. It is a great opportunity to be pro-Wikidata -- to get more 
people involved in Wikidata from the Wikipedia side, I think. 

Best,

- Erika
