similar but not the same to Bug 1212 Please provide count of total articles linked to this foo template in Special:Whatlinkshere/Template. Usefull for ex: information about how many stub articles, how many need_for_translation articles, how many NPOV articles, how many need_improved articles etc..
I will use this bug to request also for count of total articles in special pages which has list of articles, such as Special:Wantedpages, Special:Wantedcategories and Special:Uncategorizedpages. I found that special pages will inform the correct count of articles if the count is <1000 (look http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istimewa:Deadendpages) but it will failed to inform the count if the count is>1000 (look http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Deadendpages&limit=1000)
changed summary to reflect that this isn't just about one special page, but all special pages that list articles
Also, it might be good to have it number the links like it does here (http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:BrokenRedirects&limit=500&offset=0). This is already implemented in Special:BrokenRedirects (as well as the number of entries on the special page being shown at the top) but not in Special:Protectedpages for example.
Comment #3 could be accomplished simply by (a) changing the <ul></ul> tags around the list of links to <ol></ol> or (b) giving the <ul> element a "class=something" attribute so that users could change the display in their personalized .css files. And doing that would probably accomplish most of what the original report was looking for.

This should already be long since done, unless I'm greatly misunderstanding the request. Special:WhatLinksHere lists transclusions, redirects to and actual pagelinks to the target. It can be filtered by all 3 (although that is more recent).

On WMF sites, many of these are cached at 1000 entries per-batch. Not ideal, but whatever. Not a part of this bug (there's probably several bugs out for this and related problems). Comment 3 is out of scope of the original request (and I'm not 100% sure what is being asked there). I think we can mark this thing FIXED.
Doofus. I see what's going on. Reopening.
All I know is I vow to clean up all the spam on Wikipedia, so I go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Cleanup-spam but I can't tell if there are 66, 666, 6666, 66666 spams I should clean up.
