WantedPages only shows pages with a link count greater than 1. This might mean a speed up on Wikipedia, but on a small installation it's not very useful this way. If it's a mistake, then a small patch should be enough: in Includes/SpecialWantedPages.php change: HAVING COUNT(*) > 1"; into HAVING COUNT(*) >= 0"; Unfortunately it then says "(1 links)" in the page, but I don't really care enough about that.
A short explanation of why this is invalid would be nice...
Because the code works as intended. I don't see that this is a particular request to change something, nor is it reporting a bug or behaviour we don't want.
We get asked about this a lot; it might be worth going ahead and making it a config option. We can leave it at 0 for the n00bs and keep it at 1 for Wikimedia.
